The horses are still fuzzy and temperatures are still a bit on the chilly side, but Spring will be here before we know it. Spring of course marks the beginning of riding season whether on the trail, in the show ring or both .We are all looking  forward to  getting back in the saddle. 

Now is the perfect time to tune-up our riding skills before we get back in the saddle for riding season. Let's be honest we all fall into bad habits when we are riding and we don't even realize it. Some times those bad habits in the saddle begin to effect our horses attitude and behavior. Horses as well will develop bad habits like head tossing, dragging their hooves or wanting rush ahead. As riders we often over look those habits telling ourselves "it's not that bad", but those habits can often worsen and become a larger problem. Now is the time to fix those habits so both you and your horse will have a enjoyable riding season in 2015.
