Thanks for this article. I have developed a habit of holding my breath, but for the past two riding lessons I have begun to incorporate a habit of breathing into my riding and trying to make it better. And I always know why I held my breath. It is because I get nervous and scared, worried about the outcome of my ride with the horse, I get anxiety about doing certain things wrong or things going horribly wrong. But when I take the time to concentrate on my breathing from now on it helps me. I ride English but this is for anyone. And I think it’s really important. Because it’s true. When you hold your breath, then you tense up and the entire riding dynamic between you and your horse changes and I found that I couldn’t think straight when I was holding my breath. Luckily I can practice more and I thank you for these helpful tips that I know and am positive will improve my riding for the better. It’s greatly appreciated and I hope that Horsechannel.com loads up on a lot more articles about basic riding on these topics at it is so important because a lot of people tend to miss out on important basic riding skills that can really improve our riding with our horse. Thanks so much and I hope to see more of these articles! =)
