Description

In this episode of Come Ride With Me, I combine two powerful experiments—“Find the Rhythm” and “Make It Messy”—to show how letting go of control actually creates more clarity in the saddle. You’ll ride along with me and Namastee as we explore how to feel what’s happening, respond without overcorrecting, and use messy moments to build better communication.

If you’ve ever felt stuck between wanting a perfect ride and not wanting to micromanage your horse, this one’s for you.

✨ Let it be messy. Let it be real. Let it be progress.
