I Love Horses and I Love to Ride
With Valentine’s Day approaching, I don’t know about you, but it got me thinking about how much I love my horses and love riding. It is such an amazing gift to get to ride and train them, and experience how the partnership develops over the years of getting to know one another. It’s truly my favorite part of training horses. And this month in our Amelia Newcomb Dressage Newsletter, I have some exciting things to share with you to help you and your horse as you work on improving your riding and partnership!
Sharing the Love this Valentine
As you know, “Dressage for All” is a big part of what I do. I believe that quality riding education should be available to anyone who wants to learn.
So to celebrate Valentine’s Day this year, I am hosting a series of fun activities and LIVEs the week before Valentine’s. These will be educational sessions with a little bit of fun thrown in, because if we’re not having fun with our horses- we’re not doing it right! Tune into YouTube to watch and participate:

Meet Strides Member Becky
Every month we highlight one of our Strides with Amelia Members. This month, Becky shared her story about her and her mare Dora, and how Strides has helped them on their journey together!
“Dressage for all isn’t just a slogan. Amelia and the Strides program teach this every single day by providing such a quality inclusive program.”

Improve Your Position, Improve Your Ride
Feeling unstable and out of control in the saddle? Maybe your horse isn’t responding the way you want them to, and you’re not sure why? Guess what, improving your rider position is the number one way to improve your riding.
In my Free Rider Position Mini-Course there you will learn how to assess your rider position and learn targeted exercises to help you improve your position for a better ride. Get your copy of the mini-course here.Â
Something Exciting is Coming!
Shhhh….I’m creating something exciting coming in late February, and you’re the first to hear it! I can’t say much more now, other than it’s a new rider position resource. So block out some time on Feb 23rd at noon, and respond to this email with your biggest rider position struggle. And yes, this is a secret you can pass on to your friends!
