101 Ways to Improve Your Riding:
Seat Posture & Balance

10 Best Tips to Improve the
Rider's Head

 10.     HOMEWORK:  Neurolinguistic Programming

 NLP (or Keywords )

We have to start to bring this entire chapter on the rider's head position, and it's affect on the horse, and how we should use it down to one or two key words that we can remember...and one of the easiest to start to cover a lot of ground is the elegance of the spanish hats.   

You've heard of Olympic athletes who say slogans to themselves time and time again.   Then, on the actual day, they just remember one or two keywords. 

The swimmer might just have to think 'roll your hips', or 'flick in the turn'.   This is years and years of training and practice brought down to just:

One or two "keywords".

If I were to narrow down this entire chapter regarding the rider's head I would say the very best keywords for you to repeat again and again to yourself would be:

1. PINOCCHIO           level to the ground

2. STICKY TAPE       on the front of your neck

3. NOSE DRIBBLE    over your belly button

4. PONY TAIL BELL  Is it ringing?

And remember the soft elegance of the Spanish hat.
