This is part 1 of an older webinar focussed on riding and riding exercises I feel are beneficial for endurance horses. This is part one of this webinar, you will find the second here: ,  Thus webinar in 2 parts  explains the basics I work from, it features pictures and video's of examples and hopefully these will help you with y...

You can have the best training schedule in the world, but things can still go wrong if we do not take into account any weak links we might have in our horse. This is why we start the "Endurance: Step by Step" endurance coaching course with evaluations and assessments, to have an idea of what we need to be careful of, and what we need to i...

We endurance riders focus a lot on our training, how much we do, at what speed and how often… Are we doing enough, or not enough, or perhaps even too much. All focussed on the quantity of work we do. And of course this is important to get our horse fit. But… If we do our quantitative training completely spot on we might still run into problems...

There are many factors besides the horse that need our attention when we prepare our upcoming season. Rider, crew, transport and other support (perhaps even finances and time constraints…) We as riders need to be fit enough, and physically able to compete without being in the way of our horse. But mentally we also need to cope with the challenges a...

How our horse moves (and the balance it has while moving) also deserves a separate talk. The balance of our horse is for a large part determined by the conformation, but there are many other factors that can influence movement (us as riders for instance!) By looking carefully at the horses preferred way of going we have an idea of what we...
