Day 4: 5 Day Riding Bootcamp- AM Session: Round - August 29th 2026.mp3

I hope you enjoyed this replay of our back to school riding bootcamp.

This is going to be five days of training and fun, but don't forget that these replays expire on September 2nd.

Every day of bootcamp builds upon the next, so it's really important that you watch each day, do your homework, and listen to the replays before they expire.

I'm so excited for day four of our five-day riding bootcamp.

I know some of you are watching here with me on Zoom.

Some of you are on YouTube.

Let me know if you can see and hear me okay.

I have my microphones on because I'm gonna be doing a little bit of a demo as always.

Also, I would love if you guys want to participate in the demo, so make sure that you can stand up and move a little around.

I actually need to get my chair out of the way here.

I would also love to know, let me know in the chat, what has been your favorite part of boot camp so far? which day have you enjoyed the most? And maybe if you've had a win so far in your riding or with your horse, let's see.

Bootcamp week is so busy for myself and my entire team, but I always feel like it's such a fun time just where everyone's excited and inspired and learning new things.

So Cynthia here says that you love the trailblazers.

Trot Canter Seat Demo.

That was a great one that I did on day two with my husband.

So thank you for that.

Laura says she's learned so much from each of them.

Awesome.

I think everyone's favorite session.

So we have Strides members with me on Zoom.

And then we also have a lot of you on YouTube.

So I have the YouTube comments pulled up here.

Let's see.

Hello, Bonnie from Minneapolis.

Good morning.

All right.

Stacy said she rode last night and remember to breathe.

Isn't it amazing, you guys, how much just like breathing and counting helps? Like it seems like such a simple thing and yet it makes such a big difference, doesn't it? All right, you can see and hear me.

Stacey says we couldn't hear Messi.

Okay, well, Messi has left the room now.

So I don't think we need Messi's help.

Let's see, Nicole liked the train your eye session.

Good morning from Kentucky.

Good morning, Kate.

You like Nicole's train your eye.

Yeah, Nicole from my team, if you haven't met her, she's our in-house judge in Strides and she does some amazing trainings.

One thing that I love about...

This platform and our community is that I'm always learning and trying to get better and helping all of you.

And I always am collaborating with my team members and other experts in the field because I think that, you know, that's what it's all about is learning and helping one another.

So I'm super excited about that.

Veronica is here from Australia.

Fantastic.

Go ahead, open up the chat if you're just tuning in.

We're going to get started soon with day four of our five-day riding boot camp.

And let me know where you're tuning in from.

We're going to get started.

Today is day four of the five-day riding boot camp.

I can't believe it's gone so fast.

But let me know in the chat, what was your favorite day so far? Remember, day one was in-hand work.

Day two was rider biomechanics.

day three yesterday was rhythm and counting today we're going to be talking about round and connection a couple of announcements my team is here helping out so if you have any questions feel free to type them in the chat and we'll have time for a little bit of a q a today also make sure to watch the recordings of boot camp okay so the recordings of the other days are available and they'll be available through wednesday And it's really important that you take the time to watch each day because each day builds upon the next.

So if today is your first day, I really encourage you to go back and watch the previous days because I'm going to be referencing those as we go through today's training.

As always, it really helps me out if you can share my videos or this boot camp with a riding friend because the more people that I can help, the better.

And my mission is dressage for all.
