Music and Horses

The current Savvy Times has a great article on rythym with horse and rider.  I have always had a more relaxed ride with music playing in the background.  I think it helps me to relax and therefore relaxes my horse.  On the racetrack I always have a song in my head I can sing or hum while riding and it really helps the horses that are prone to tying up.  I can let them roll right along without cranking down on them and maybe the sound of a voice in melody relaxes them also (even though I am not the best singer).  Anyway, check out this article and get your playlist ready to ride ! It is like floating on air when your horse's footfalls match the beat of the music.  Have a great day with your horse!
