Everyone loves music. It soothes the mind and lifts the soul. While we are surrounded by music, the riding arena is often quiet. Here are 3 tips to use music to improve your connection with your horse. After a particularly challenging ride, I realized the antics of Wik were making me tense. He seemed bored with what I was asking. We are both dominant by nature, and I started a battle to get my way. (I have learned much since then). Confrontations make everybody tense. My tension reflected back on Wik, making him even more tense, and things spiraled down from there. When I told a friend about my struggle, she mentioned his previous owner sang to him. The singing seemed to soothe his mind and kept him focused. 'That's silly!', was my first thought. "But I can't sing!", was my second. I thought I just had to ride through it, and we'd be fine.
The next ride, things got tense again. Whatever I tried, it didn't get better. Despite my initial rejection of the singing idea, I decided to give it a shot. On a whim I chose a Dutch children's song with a quiet beat. And it worked. Singing soothed my mind and regulated my breathing. My body relaxed and I released the tension in my jaw, my shoulders and my hands. Wik took a big breath in response. The music seemed to be soothing to the both of us and we danced more and more to the same tune. As I got more relaxed, so did Wik and we both took steps forward to compromise and find harmony. Here are a few ideas on how you can incorporate music to your riding too. Preparation
