Episode Synopsis

Hi! This week marks the start of the new Podcast Series "Riding with R+". It is specifically aimed at those of us looking to retrain our previously "traditionally" trained horses, but can also be used for green horses. This series will not replace the normal episodes (groundwork, husbandry, despooking) but will simply be an addition to the podcast. Our Instagram account that is complementary to this Podcast, where you can find additional information, videos and photographs as well as linked resources, can be found under this handle - @chroniclesoffinn Here’s the episode breakdown: • Who this Series is for • The resources this series will be based upon • Tips and Tricks to keep in mind when riding using R+ • The differences between R+ riding and traditional riding • The importance of groundwork • The difference between internal & external cues • The importance of weight/seat cues • The difference between rates, variety and schedules of reinforcement • How these can be used and manipulated in R+ riding • Riding with the Clicker

I hope you enjoy and see you again next week!
