• Sunday Strides - Can A.I. Help Your Riding? Or Is It a Shortcut to Avoid!

  https://www.facebook.com/groups/dailystridespodcastRight now, it’s tempting to turn to AI for everything, even in the saddle! Ask a question, get an instant answer. But when it comes to training horses and improving your riding, is that really helping you grow?

Lorna also shares 3 smart and intentional ways you can start using AI this week to support your riding journey, and why it’s all about asking better questions, not getting the perfect answers. 🧠 In This Episode You'll Learn: How AI is showing up in riders’ daily routines, and where it’s quietly becoming a shortcut Why copying and pasting training plans can lead you away from real progress How to stop outsourcing your intuition and instead train your awareness 3 intentional ways to use AI to grow as a rider, including: Asking better self-reflection questions Exploring alternative training perspectives Getting clarity on your true goals 🐴 This Week’s Challenge: Pick one of the 3 strategies shared in this episode and try it this week with AI.

• [Encore] Strides Revisited: Leg Yielding to Refine Your Asking Aids in the Saddle (Originally Ep #1165)

  In this Strides Revisited episode, we’re returning to one of the most powerful mindset shifts in riding - the moment when you stop trying to control your horse's every move… and start asking with clarity instead. This episode takes a fresh look at leg yielding; not just as a lateral movement, but as a powerful training tool to refine how you use your aids and communicate with your horse. Whether you're rebuilding your confidence or looking to sharpen your lateral work, this is where the shift begins. In this episode, you'll learn: Why pushing = resistance - and what to do instead How to create “open doors” with your seat and reins to show your horse where to go The importance of timing your aids with how your horse is actually moving How feedback builds a conversation (and trust) between you and your horse 💡 The key takeaway? You’re not there to move your horse; you’re there to ask, allow, and respond.
