Video to Improve Your Riding & Training When Working Alone

Daily Strides Podcast for Equestrians

Ever feel like your riding instantly improves when someone’s watching? You sit up straighter, ride with more intention, and suddenly even your transitions are cleaner… But what if you don’t have anyone to watch you ride?

The good news? You do. Your camera and your future self are ready to become your new training partners - starting today.

In this episode of the Daily Strides Podcast, we're diving into the power of video, not just filming your rides, but reviewing them in a way that gives you clear, honest feedback and a clear next step. This isn't about judgment. It's about awareness, growth, and making your time in the saddle truly count, especially if you’re training alone without a regular instructor or coach.

🎧 In This Episode, You’ll Learn:

• Why we naturally ride better when we feel observed - and how to recreate that effect when riding solo

• How confirmation bias shows up in the saddle - and how video helps you move from assumption to accuracy

• Why the uncomfortable, awkward moments on camera are often the most valuable

• A simple, repeatable way to create a feedback loop with your video and improve every ride

• How tools like Pivo can make videoing easier, smoother, and more consistent

• Why even short 5-minute videos can lead to major mindset shifts (and better riding!)
