Hey horse fiend. What if your rides were more magic than mystery? What if your relationship with your horse was more magnetic than electric? This podcast isn't about training harder, riding better, or drilling more. Here, we explore what happens when you choose allowing over controlling. It’s about what unfolds when you soften, listen, and let your horse want you back. Between power and patience lies a place your horse is waiting to meet you. This is where your story begins and your partnership grows.

10. How to Stop Balancing on Your Horse’s Mouth and Start Riding with Feel

Feeling unbalanced in the saddle? You might be relying on your hands instead of your seat—and your horse can feel it. In this episode of Come Ride With Me, host Anna Fox of Equus Enlightened busts common riding position myths like “heels down” and “shoulders back,” explains why gripping the reins destroys feel, and shares simple, proven exercises to improve your balance, coordination, and rhythm. Learn how to ride with a softer seat, even contact, and true harmony with your horse. Perfect for dressage riders, novice equestrians, and anyone ready to replace tension with feel.
