Hey! I love watching your videos and they have helped me improve on so so so much! I was wondering if you had any advice for training a horse to accept the outside rein? The horse I ride doesn't accept the outside rein, she moves to the outside and flexes to the outside and I'm not sure what to do!

have you got any tips for calming down a young horse? My horse is constantly just running away with me xD when i ask her for trot, she quickly jumps into a really fast trot, and when i ask for canter she gallops away x3 just want her to calm and slow down xx

Hi Tash!! Could you make a video about lateral movements? Traver, Renver, hunches in, shoulder in, leg yield, half pass. I get so confused about which movement is supposed to have the horse bending which way!!

Your video is really helpful, i can apply to be positive in riding when competing at shows and training. I'm very good at being negative after a bad day etc. This video is Great! Thank you 🙂

I so needed this. Many times I've had a bad ride, from making no progress and I've let it ruin my day, BUT NO MORE!
What I love about these videos is that they are so helpful in all aspects of riding, beginning of this year, my mare consistently cantered on the wrong lead, but from watching these videos, we're getting the correct canter leads and one figures of eight! We are now working on our extended canter. She has come on leaps and bounds and it's simply me, her and these videos (no instructor (yet)). Thank you Tash!

Natasha is Gretchen a mare?
Dawn & Samantha the awsome team Star stable
Can you do a video on how to stay calm if the horse will not slow down or keep speeding up? And how to handle it? Thanks
Edit: Maybe you could do it for fearless Friday.

Hey I'm kameela from Singapore and right after I started my cantering whenever I do rising trot my legs keep moving backwards when I sit….it's frustrating because I try to keep my legs straight and forward but they keep coming backwards and affects my posture…any advice?

Natasha, I nearly fell over I was laughing so hard today watching this episode. I'm just starting to learn shoulder in and it was EXACTLY what I needed to hear!! Thanks!

Natasha, this video was AWESOME! And it applies to so much more than just riding. I know that you've said these things in many other videos before, but the message really resonated here. Thanks!
