The latest from Jenny - practical insights to help your horse move better
Most People Are Exercising Their Horse… Not Training Them
by: Jenny AdamsonPublished on: 04/05/2026There’s a difference between: Doing exercises…and training your horse. Exercises are individual pieces. Training is how those pieces are put together over time. And this is where things often get stuck. Because you can be doing all the right exercises… But if they’re not part of a clear structure, they won’t create lasting change.

by: Jenny AdamsonPublished on: 13/04/2026If you’ve ever felt like one rein is harder… your horse feels stiff… or something just isn’t quite even… You’re not alone. This is one of the most common things I see. And it’s easy to label it as stiffness. But in many cases, what you’re feeling isn’t actually stiffness at all.
Why Flexible Horses Move Better
by: Jenny AdamsonPublished on: 30/03/2026You can have a horse that looks “fit”, but still feels stiff, heavy, or uneven to ride. More often than not, the missing piece isn’t more work. It’s flexibility. Because without it, your horse physically can’t move as well as they’re capable of — no matter how hard they try.

And when we misunderstand it, we often end up creating tension, compensation, and long-term issues instead of strength and balance.
