When something isn’t working with our horses, the instinct can be to change to a stronger bit or add a training gadget. But according to trainer Geoff Teall, more isn’t always the answer. A horse that feels heavy in your hand may actually need better balance and engagement. A horse that seems to need endless schooling may benefit more from shorter, purposeful sessions. And a horse preparing to show may not need dozens of warm-up jumps before ever walking into the ring. What’s one area of your riding where you’ve learned that less really is more? #theplaidhorse #geoffteall #horsemanship #horsetraining #hunterjumper #hunters #showjumping #equitation #horseandrider #equestrian #equestrianlife #horsepeople #horsecommunity #horseshowing #ridinglessons #traininghorses #showhorses #ourindustry #theplaidcast #horsesofinstagram
