Coach, judge, equine behaviorist and columnist, Lindsay Grice helps riders win the Mind Game. Whether coaching at the in gate, teaching in a classroom or speaking to a Horse Expo audience, she shows riders how to bridge the communication barrier using the science of how horses and humans think.

As a lecturer in Equine Behaviour courses for the University of Guelph, Lindsay says "Knowing how horses think and learn has saved me time, trouble and trauma in training!"


Her info–packed sessions combine the science of horse psychology and sports psychology for the competitive rider. Thinking like a horse, she takes natural horsemanship concepts out of the round pen and into the show ring!

Do you need a fresh perspective? Join a group riding at a farm near you. Meaford, Owen Sound area, Peterborough, Grand Bend / Lambton Shores, Orangeville and a few farms in Northern Ontario. For a pre-show tune up or trouble shooting session, occasional or regularly. Some coaches, supplement their regular program with occasional lessons from Lindsay.

 

In a typical session Lindsay will …

  •  
  • watch you and your horse working as a team through some of her favourite patterns.
  •  
  • target the trouble spots – noisy cues, mixed messages, mental blocks.
  •  
  • reflect back the horse's perspective.

  • uncover the myths we believe and signals we send to our horses, ourselves, the judge and others.
  •  
  • suggest minor changes for better results.

Horse Psychology for the Show Ring.

Butterflies, brain freezes and blowups. A winning ride is often won or lost in the horse⁄human communication. "Are you speaking so your horse is listening?" Riders and spectators will take away a strategy for winning the mind game in the training ring, warm up ring, or show ring.

"Some trust in chariots and
some in horses. But we trust
in the name of the Lord our God."

Psalm 20:7

"the horse is made ready
for the day of battle …
but victory rests in the Lord."
