Squeeze the Day: A brain hack for learning dressage tests and jumping courses
Have you ever entered the arena and suddenly forgotten your "C" from your "E"? Or couldn't remember whether your next jump was the red oxer or the yellow double? In this quirky episode of Over the Oxer Equestrian Mindset Podcast, we dive into a fascinating "brain hack" involving nothing more than your own two hands. We explore the 2013 research by Ruth Propper on hemispheric encoding and retrieval—specifically, how squeezing your fists in a certain order might actually prime your brain to memorise courses and tests more effectively. Whether you're a show jumper or a dressage rider, this "Memory Sandwich" technique might be the missing piece in your mental performance toolkit.
