3 Straightness Progressions
By: Jenny Adamson Published on: 02/02/2026After winter, many riders notice old patterns creeping back in. You’re putting in the work, but straightness seems elusive. The truth is, straightness isn’t something you correct in one moment. It’s something you build progressively, by working with the body instead of against it.
Why Your Horse Feels Better for a While… Then Slips Back Again
By: Jenny Adamson Published on: 26/01/2026If you’ve ever had a phase where your horse suddenly feels softer in the contact, easier to bend, more relaxed through their back — only to find yourself a few weeks later dealing with the same old issues again… You’re not imagining it. This cycle is incredibly common, and the missing piece is where the training focus is placed.
Straightness Strategies

By: Jenny Adamson Published on: 12/01/2026Every horse is naturally asymmetrical, just like we are. One side stronger, one side more coordinated, one side that prefers to do the work. When the body isn’t trained to redistribute that load evenly, it finds clever ways to cope. Left unaddressed, this pattern can turn into injury.
