Deirdré Janse Van Rensburg And Her Very Special Mare, Balaika
HQ magazine has been wanting to chat to Mounted Archery Association South Africa (MAASA) President, Deirdré Janse van Rensburg, for some time. Her work with her magnificent mare, Balaika, is quite astonishing, and is something really different for us to delve into. She has a very special connection with her horse, riding in multiple disciplines with only a neck rope; creating awareness of mounted archery; and advocating for bitless riding and kinder training techniques that are founded in having a deep connection and relationship with your horse. We wanted to recognise both her relationship with her mare and her achievements in mounted archery, by featuring her as one of our ‘20 Riders of 2020’.

Hitting A Plateau 8 Coping Strategies
We’ve all been there – on the plateau – wondering how on earth we’ll ever move forwards, and if our riding has hit a ceiling. For those who are somewhat less familiar with the plateau than we are – the term is commonly used to describe the point in learning a new skill, when you realise you’re just not making any progress, and that you have no idea how to get to the next level. Most, if not all, riders will hit plateaus with a frustrating degree of regularity on their journey to the top.
