Amelia Newcomb's Equine Services works to develop a trusting and confident relationship between horse and rider. Using theories from both natural horsemanship and classical dressage, Amelia creates a holistic approach to training that adapts to fit the needs of each individual horse and rider. Her approach incorporates all pieces of horsemanship from basic groundwork and ground manners to advanced dressage movements. The emphasis is always on the foundation with the basic trust, understanding, and relaxation for both horse and rider as the building blocks to harmony and progress. After starting over 100 horses, Amelia has developed a step by step method that gently and methodically introduces the young horse to accept and carry a rider. She believes that the first couple months under saddle are the MOST important in any horses' long career. It is essential that the initial training is done correctly and carefully to ensure that each horse develops confidence in themselves and trust in the rider.

🐴✨ Big News Release: NEW dressage tests are here!

Every four years, USDF and USEF review and update the Dressage tests — and the new tests go into effect on December 1, 2026. 📅🎉

But here's what I want you to remember: 💛

Dressage tests aren't just for showing. They're a roadmap for your training. 🗺️

The movements aren't random. Each level (and each test within the level) is designed to build on the one before it — giving you a clear path for what to work on now and what you need to develop next. 🌟

That clear path to progress is exactly what I'm going to teach in my FREE 'Through the Levels of Dressage' Webinar on November 24th at 8:00 AM PT. 🎓📅

I'll show you:

➡️ What dressage is really designed to accomplish — and how it develops a happier, more confident horse. 🐎
➡️ How the levels build partnership and connection — and why every movement prepares your horse for what's next. 💛
➡️ Why practicing tests can make your horse healthier and more reliable — even if you NEVER plan to compete. ✨

Check the comments below for the link to check out the NEW tests.

📌 P.S. Don't forget to RSVP for my Free Through the Levels Webinar. This webinar will give you a clear picture of where you are, where you're headed, and how to get there. 💪 It's completely FREE — but spots are limited, so don't wait! 👉 Click the link below to save your seat!

🏆🐎 𝐈𝐧𝐠𝐫𝐢𝐝 𝐊𝐥𝐢𝐦𝐤𝐞'𝐬 𝐓𝐨𝐩 𝐃𝐫𝐞𝐬𝐬𝐚𝐠𝐞 𝐓𝐢𝐩𝐬 🐎🏆

🐴✨ Tune in for a very special interview with Ingrid Klimke as she shares her best tips with us! One of the biggest challenges riders face is balancing good technique with the right mindset. 🤔 It's easy to get caught up in perfecting movements and forget that your horse's confidence, relaxation, and partnership come first. 💛 In this interview, I share some of my favorite takeaways from my interview with Olympic medalist Ingrid Klimke, including practical ideas to improve your rider position and mindset while building a better relationship with your horse. 🏅

🎯 𝐑𝐢𝐝𝐞𝐫 𝐏𝐨𝐬𝐢𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐌𝐢𝐧𝐝𝐬𝐞𝐭 𝐒𝐭𝐚𝐫𝐭 𝐰𝐢𝐭𝐡 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐁𝐚𝐬𝐢𝐜𝐬

One of my favorite parts of our conversation was hearing how much emphasis Ingrid places on the fundamentals. 🌟 Even after reaching the highest levels of the sport, she still centers her rides around basics like transitions, responsiveness to the aids, and rider position. She also shared an exercise that many riders can benefit from: riding transitions without stirrups while using bridged reins. 💪 Bridging the reins helps keep your hands even and steady, allowing you to feel when one hand starts to drift or become stronger than the other. At the same time, riding without stirrups encourages a more independent seat so your horse can respond to your body instead of relying on your hands for balance. ✨

Ingrid also shared the story of developing Franziskus from a young stallion into a Grand Prix horse. 🐎 Early on, he had plenty of opinions and wasn't always convinced that his rider should influence the plan! 😄 Instead of forcing the issue, Ingrid stayed patient and worked consistently over many years...𝒘𝒉𝒐𝒐𝒑𝒔!

Do you know everything your horse needs to execute a clean flying change on the aids? 🤔🐴

Flying changes are incredible — and training them is easier said than done. That’s why I’m hosting a FREE webinar on Flying Changes Sunday, Oct 11th! 🎉

Here’s a quick breakdown of the timing:

The flying change happens during the moment of suspension — when all four feet are off the ground. ✨ To get a clean change, you must give the aid when your horse’s inside front leg is on the ground. Then your horse pushes off and changes all four feet in mid-air!

(Sounds easy, right? 😂)

In this FREE webinar, you’ll learn:

🔑 Secret #1 — Any horse can learn a clean flying change… follow my step-by-step system
🔑 Secret #2 — Canter quality and clear aids are KEY to successful changes
🔑 Secret #3 — The diagonal is the WORST place to train flying changes

Without correct flying changes, you can’t progress past 2nd Level Dressage — and eventers and jumpers feel it too. 💪

Want to know something cool about flying changes? 🤔🐴

Your horse already knows how to do them. They do flying changes in the field all the time — on their own, for fun! 🌟

The trick isn’t teaching them the movement. It’s teaching them to do it clean, on your aids, at exactly the right moment. ✨

And that’s where most riders get stuck — because there’s a specific step-by-step process to get there. Skip a step, and the changes fall apart. Follow the steps and everything clicks. 💪

I’ve created a FREE Flying Changes Checklist with the five exercises you need to master before you ever ride across the diagonal and ask for a change. 📚

Once these basics are solid, your horse will understand exactly what you’re asking — and the flying change becomes the natural next step. 💛

🌟🎥 𝐀𝐫𝐜𝐡𝐢𝐯𝐞 𝐏𝐨𝐬𝐭: 𝐃𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐥𝐨𝐩 𝐘𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐓𝐫𝐨𝐭 𝐋𝐞𝐧𝐠𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐧𝐢𝐧𝐠 🎥🌟

🐴✨ The trot lengthening is a movement that first shows up at First Level. The trot lengthening is a test of "thrust" – the horse's ability to push from the hind leg, through their back, and into longer, more suspended strides.

According to the U.S. Dressage Federation's Glossary of Judging Terms, lengthening is defined as "Elongation of the stride and the outline of the horse, yet maintaining the same tempo (beats per minute) and balance as in the corresponding working pace." 📋

Are you having trouble getting your horse to actually lengthen the trot strides? 🤔 Most all horses tend to rush and get quicker in the trot instead of actually lengthening the stride! ⚠️

Here are some exercises to try: 🎯

1️⃣ Go up the quarterline, leg-yield over to the rail, then lengthen the trot down the long side. The leg yield is an exercise for lateral suppleness that helps loosen the horse's back so that they CAN actually find a longer stride. 💪

2️⃣ Ride the lengthening on a 20m circle – using a curved line for the lengthening helps to keep the horse from getting strong and braced in the topline. 🔵 It is important to keep the horse round and supple in the neck and back in order to actually get a longer trot stride. ✨

3️⃣ Watch the YouTube video for more exercises. Comment "lengthen" below and I will send you the link to watch the video and read all my tips!

Here’s something that might surprise you about flying changes. 🐴✨

They’re not as complicated as you think — when your foundation is right.

The reason most riders struggle isn’t because they’re bad riders or have the wrong horse. It’s because nobody showed them the steps that come BEFORE the flying change. 💡

Before you ask for a flying change, your horse needs:

🔹 Perfect trot-canter-trot transitions on the aids
🔹 Counter canter
🔹 Leg yield in the canter
🔹 Simple changes

Once those pieces are solid? The flying changes start to happen almost naturally. 💪

Any horse can learn to do a clean, correct flying change — you just need the right roadmap to get there. 🌟

That's why I’ve created a FREE Flying Changes Checklist to walk you through each prerequisite step by step — so you know exactly what to work on and when you’re truly ready to start the changes. 📚

✨🐴 𝐄𝐯𝐞𝐧 𝐆𝐫𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐏𝐫𝐢𝐱 𝐑𝐢𝐝𝐞𝐫𝐬 𝐍𝐞𝐞𝐝 𝐓𝐡𝐞𝐢𝐫 𝐏𝐨𝐬𝐢𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐅𝐢𝐱𝐞𝐝 | 𝐒𝐞𝐭𝐛𝐚𝐜𝐤𝐬 & 𝐒𝐨𝐥𝐮𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐬 𝐄𝐩𝐢𝐬𝐨𝐝𝐞 𝟏𝟕 🐴✨

🎉 Welcome back to Setbacks & Solutions with Mik!

For this episode, we took a little road trip down to Wellington, where I had the opportunity to train with an Olympian for two days. 🏅 And I definitely got my butt kicked a little bit on my rider position! 😄

Mik has such a big, powerful way of moving that sometimes I find myself bracing, over-arching my back, or following the wrong part of the canter stride. 😬 So this lesson was as much about improving ME as it was about improving Mik. 💪 We worked on my seat, core, half-halts, and learning how to stay balanced and effective without holding him together.

So in this episode, we're diving into: 🎯

🪑 Fixing my rider position
How adjusting my pelvis, core, and seat helped me stay with Mik's big movement instead of bracing against it.

🤗 "Hug, give" in the canter
A simple reminder that helped me improve the timing of my half-halts without pulling backward.

🐴 Self-carriage in lateral work
Why I don't want to constantly push with my leg or hold with my hand through leg yield, shoulder-in, and half-pass.

✨ More rideable pirouettes
Mik is getting stronger and sitting more, but the goal is still to keep him relaxed and adjustable instead of holding him through the movement.

🔄 Finding balance in the tempis
Our changes are still a little crooked and wild, so I'm focusing on giving Mik enough time between each change to find his balance again.

🧩 Training smarter, not harder
When Mik became strong and unbalanced after the tempis, I used a 10-meter circle to reorganize him rather than simply adding more pressure.

💪 Adding expression and power
Once the balance and connection were there, I could ask for more expression in the trot and even bring Mik back for some little half-steps.

One thing I really took away from these lessons was how valuable it is to have someone challenge the way you ride. 🌟 Even as a Grand Prix rider and trainer, I still have habits in my position that can make things harder for Mik, especially with how big he moves. 🐎

Sometimes the answer isn't another exercise for the horse. It's changing something in yourself. 💡 I love lessons that give me something very specific to take home and keep working on. There's always another layer to improve, and that's one of my favorite things about Dressage. 💛

Struggling with the canter seat? 🤔🐴

Here’s a tip that completely changes the way riders understand it: think circles and ovals. ✨

The canter is a three-beat gait that creates a rocking horse motion in your horse’s back. To follow that motion, your hips need to move in a continuous circle — stop moving, and your horse will likely break to trot! 🛑

Once you’ve got that, you can actually adjust the canter from your seat:

🔹 For a lengthening or medium canter — think of growing that circle into a horizontal oval. Press the base longer across the saddle, and your horse takes longer, more ground-covering steps.

🔹 For a collected canter — think of a vertical oval. Shorter base, but more jump and lift in the strides.

The key is to never stop moving your hips. 💪 Whether you’re riding a circle, a half-pass, or anywhere in between — keep moving your seat with your horse.
