From my own experiences I have found that a looking at the whole picture and working in a consistent long term gradual, small steps approach has developed riders and handlers with a more structured plan and happy horse. This has then developed confidence and working with you as a team a better understanding of how to develop and improve you and your horse.
As part of our development plan, from time to time I find it beneficial to use a outside occasional coach. This can be another pair of eyes, another thought process, adding to your experiences and tool kit. Its also a great way for you to gauge your progress and help you monitor your and development.
From time to time our riding club runs clinics, we carefully choose a trainer that works along the same lines as what we are working. If I can, I then attend the cling with my riders to support them. especially if its their first time or those or as part of a confidence building exercise. We can then assess how the session went and re-evaluate and amend goals if needed
