Dear Barnby Notes: September 2010
http://dearbarnbynotes.blogspot.com/2010_09_01_archive.html
Sunday, September 26, 2010. A notebook brings out a creative problem solver. Just last week Contigo was unresponsive and heavy in the hands. His tendency to brace on the right rein was at an all time high. I rode him for an entire lesson fighting the feeling and even though we got some great work out of our lesson, I drove home wishing I could figure it out so that tomorrows ride would be a lot more productive and harmonious. Come up with the answer. All of which happens before. Sunday, September 19, 2010.

Dear Barnby Notes: June 2010
http://dearbarnbynotes.blogspot.com/2010_06_01_archive.html
Sunday, June 27, 2010. Now, this makes so much sense. And I'm sure there are many other trainers who share this philosophy. Take for example Susanne Hassler of Hassler Dressage who often teaches in checklists and who leads our Training Community at BarnbyNotes.com. Yesterday, I learned a new list, and that list was developed to prevent myself from allowing a sloshy mid section while sitting the trot and develop a much more quiet, stable core. The first two steps on my list are. Jeff is a stickler for mak...

Dear Barnby Notes: The worst case scenario when you don't read your notes
http://dearbarnbynotes.blogspot.com/2010/09/whats-worst-case-scenario-if-rider.html
Sunday, September 19, 2010. The worst case scenario when you don't read your notes. What's the worst case scenario if a rider doesn't re-read her notes from the last lesson, before her next ride? Is it possible she could forget something her trainer taught her that is highly relevant for her next ride? Is writing it down good enough? And Lendon's onto something because I, too,. No," I said. That's when she re. Time to find your own relaxation.". This wasn't the first time she explained the purpose of the...

Dear Barnby Notes: Don't let it slip away
http://dearbarnbynotes.blogspot.com/2010/07/how-often-are-you-in-lesson-and-you.html
Thursday, July 22, 2010. Don't let it slip away. How often are you in a lesson and you don't quite understand something your trainer says? For fun, the next time I am auditing a lesson, I'm going to try to count the number of coaching tips the coach gives the rider. Wait, maybe not. I'll just say. a lot! What that means is, in the heat of a lesson, oftentimes, several coaching tips will slip through the cracks without the rider understanding. However, the ideal state of studentry is connecting. And sign ...

Dear Barnby Notes: Contigo has to be more handy
http://dearbarnbynotes.blogspot.com/2010/07/often-you-can-use-your-training.html
Thursday, July 8, 2010. Contigo has to be more handy. Sometimes I use my training notebook to explore a word or phrase a trainer uses. Just yesterday, trainer Else Donnell said, "Contigo has to be more handy.". A horse, handy? I was intrigued because it's a word I typically associate with a household, not a horse. Turns out, the word choice was perfect. When working trainers, whether it be for the first time or the fiftieth time, I still seek to know the deeper meaning of their words. What exactly do...

Dear Barnby Notes
http://dearbarnbynotes.blogspot.com/2010/07/ah-ha.html
Monday, July 5, 2010. That felt.different, it felt.right.it felt.hum, how do I describe what I just felt in the saddle? I've heard from elite pros that it is critically important to write down my ah-ha moments. But to be perfectly honest there are times when I have an ah-ha moment that are hard to explain largely in part because I felt. It, but I haven't explained. I did write in my notebook about it, which you can read by signing up at Barnby Notes with our two week trial. Dont let it slip away. Please ...
