This clip is a powerful look at the mental shift that has helped Ros Canter become one of the best XC riders in the world. She’s not chasing a perfect picture. She’s not making a drama out of it. She’s quietly trusting her system, keeping her head up, and giving the horse the responsibility to do their job. What’s interesting is that the key to her system isn’t complicated. What matters is why she’s doing it—to avoid micro-managing the stride—and how she’s putting herself in a position to let th

“How do I stay balanced in the saddle?” is the question that many riders ask me. But what they usually mean is “How do I make sure I won’t end up falling off?” The simple answer is - you cannot eliminate all risks. We’re not riding robots, and even well trained horses can be unpredictable at times. However, you can greatly reduce the chances of losing your balance by mastering your “Rider Responsibilities.” The truth is, you don’t have to be galloping round Badminton to find trouble.

The most important thing is your seat, The most important thing is the go button, The most important thing is fingers to let your horse use his 5th leg - his head and neck, The most important thing is to be able to turn, And of course, the most important thing is not to fall off.

I hadn’t jumped in nearly 20 years. When I finally got back in the saddle, I felt like a total mess in front of a fence—hooking, pulling, second-guessing everything. I knew I was making it harder for my horse… and myself. Then Lucinda Green told me something so simple it stopped me in my tracks: “There are 3 things you need to do on the approach—then your horse has to jump the jump.” That one sentence changed everything. Now jumping feels clear again. It’s fun. And it’s no longer a guessing game

Time, it feels like life is rushing us at every turn. But horses, they haven’t changed in thousands of years. They still need time to understand what we are asking, and the patience to let them work it out for themselves. Rushing, drilling, or sending unclear signals leads to confusion. Taking the right kind of time builds trust. Trust in you, and then trust in themselves. That is why I created my “Greenprint” - a simple, step by step plan that shows you how to build that trust with your horse,

Many of us have felt it - heart pounding, mind racing, hands gripping - the night before the competition, or even before we mount. It’s normal but wouldn”t it be nice to meet that fear, understand why it’s there and then deal with it. Next week I will reveal something that I hope will help you steady those nerves and ride through them with clarity. Keep an eye here. More details soon.

Can you See a Stride? Do you know that most riders cannot and this is not a bad thing. I could not See-a-Stride and still managed to win my Badmintons. That doesn’t mean that you should sit on top of your horse and do nothing - you do have some very important responsibilities which are: ✅To ensure you have the correct gear into the fence ✅To be sure your horse has seen the fence and knows where he is going ✅To make sure you are in balance If you achieve all of this your horse can do his job - ju
