Ride With Your Mind

Although we offer more courses on how to care for your horse than on how to ride your horse, we are fans of Mary Wanless and Ride With Your Mind.

Mary’s way of looking at riding is something which even the  beginner should be aware of and think about as they progress with their riding.

We at Lingfield know that if horses are kept properly, in a kind and more natural way, they are generally more amenable and easy to ride and handle.  That helps a lot in getting things right with your riding.

Check out the Lingfield Equine Distance Learning – Intermediate Diploma programmes for help and advice.
