Eine wichtige Empfehlung für jede Pferdebesitzer....

Riding through it.

Most riders can think back to a coach or trainer who was heavy handed and believed in riding a horse through it, or using increasing force to get their way with horses. Be it riding a horse harder to a jump after a refusal, or swapping out tack to exert force and control, to belittling the rider and saying they're not strong/tough enough on the horse and they're being "walked all over".

What these supposed coaches and trainers fail to understand is that coercion and force are not part of proper riding, neither is inflicting pain, physical or psychological. That all falls into another category which is miles away from compassionate, correct, proper riding.

When a horse is ridden through what some deem as bad behavior, we're telling the horse that we don't care about their physical and psychological well-being, and that they had just better do what they're told or face the consequences. If I were to swap out the horse for a child, or even a spouse, those same people would now say that it's abusive, but strangely enough it's not when it's inflicted on an animal.

That pinning of the ears, rooting at the bit, running away from the leg, biting at the girth, that is ALL communication. A horse can't exactly sit you down and have a chat about what's bothering them, so they communicate it in the only way they know how, and depend on us to listen.

Viele Pferdebesitzer haben schon die leidige Erfahrung hinter sich, dass ihr Pferd von einem Moment zum anderen mit einem Sehnen- oder Fesselträgerschaden dasteht. Verschiedenste Therapieansätze werden hier angeboten: von monatelanger Boxenruhe bis Stammzelltherapie.

Oft genug ist diese Verletzung dann der Auftakt zu einer „Lahmheitskarriere“, bei der immer wieder die Sehnen- oder Bänderstrukturen des einen oder anderen Beins betroffen sind.
Neben der Therapie am akuten Schaden sollte daher immer noch der Blick erweitert werden auf die möglichen Ursachen.
Die Chinesische Medizin lehrt uns, dass Sehnen und Bänder in einem engen Zusammenhang mit dem Leberstoffwechsel stehen. Tatsächlich zeigen viele Pferde mit solchen Schäden auch Frühmarker für Leberprobleme.

Welche umgebenden Faktoren wie
* Fütterung
* Haltung
* Hufbearbeitung

wir dir empfehlen zu beachten, damit ein Sehnen- oder Bänderschaden nachhaltig und ohne größere Folgeerscheinungen und ohne Chronifizierung ausheilen kann, erfährst du in unserem Artikel:

Heartbraking💔❣️

Farewell, Your Majesty

Just as the Queen's corgis were there to meet her on her final journey to Windsor Castle, her stable staff lined up for a final tribute. Head groom Terry Pendry holds one of Queen Elizabeth's favourite ponies, the Fell pony Carltonlima Emma.

The largest funeral we are ever likely to see went off without a hitch, to celebrate a lifetime of service by an amazing woman.

Saddle should also fit the Rider.
Male ans Female Anatomy is different, so should be saddles....

Chair Seat

The chair seat is often considered the mark of an inexperienced rider who has not yet mastered the ability to keep their leg beneath them, completely ignoring the simple fact that the leg SHOUDN'T have to be held beneath you to achieve correct alignment. The act of holding one's leg in position removes all fluidity and suppleness required to move with the horse and utilize the seat and leg aids properly. The tension required to constantly hold yourself in a position not only makes the rider a jackhammer in the saddle but decreases stability in the saddle as well while reducing how much and how well they're able to communicate with the horse and feel the subtle ways the horse moves beneath them.

The chair seat is often a symptom of the equipment not fitting the rider and forcing them to shift around to find comfort and support, but also simply pulling the rider into a position that is not conducive to soft and balanced riding.

The key areas that affect rider position are:
Seat Width
Twist (a commonly misunderstood/misidentified part of the saddle)
Waist (also commonly misidentified)
Stirrup bar length & placement
Seat balance
Seat pitch

When any of these areas are not fitted to the rider, consciously or not, the rider will shift to alleviate pressure, find support and find some semblance of balance.

Seat Width - too narrow and the rider will find themselves shifting back to get support beneath their seat bones.

Twist - too wide and the rider feels pulled apart at the hips, routinely shifting back and adjusting their leg to be more in front of them to find some comfort.

Waist - Too narrow and it rubs against the 'underwear line' something that males do not experience.

Stirrup bar - too forward/too short and it pulls the leg in front of the rider.

Seat balance - too far back and the rider feels behind the movement, having to lean forward to stay in balance with the horse.

Seat pitch - if shaped like a roof it will press and impact against the p***c region, forcing the rider to either shift back and away or to tilt the pelvis back, losing the neutral seat.

Sieht man immer noch zu viel....

Common Symptoms - Part 2

Atrophy behind the shoulder/of the trapezius muscle is extremely common to see at every level of riding and is caused when the saddle is fitting to the wither angle, as well as trees that are too narrow in the width (different than the angle). When a saddle tree is too narrow, it leaves no room for the lateral movement of the spine, as well as the flexion of the muscles during movement. An excess of pressure limits the blood flow and utilization of the muscle, both causing atrophy as well as an altered gait and posture that directly conflicts with the development of a healthy athlete. Abnormal posture is quite insidious in that it has a domino effect on other structures within the body, causing early wear and tear and additional impact and concussion on delicate structures along with compensatory muscling and an overall upside down way of going. A horse who is heavy on the forehand, leaning into the hands, dropped in the ribcage and not able to utilize the thoracic sling is predisposed to problems ranging from the poll to the hind legs if posture is not corrected.

Lack of mobility in the pelvis, pulling themselves along with the brachiocephalic muscle, ewe necked, sharp and angular topline as opposed to soft and round, heavy on the fore, prone to tripping, disunited, the list goes on.

Checking to see if a saddle pinches at the withers is fairly easy and straight forward. First and foremost you want to check the gap between the withers and the pommel, not just the vertical gap but also how much space is on the sides. You'd want to see a bare minimum of a 2 finger gap all the way around the withers (from one side, over the top, to the other). Secondly, the placement of the panels and the angle of the tree, with many panels placed too high namely due to the fact that the gullet points are simply too short in many saddles. Think of the trapezius as a river, and the arms of the gullet plate a bridge that needs to extend beyond the width of the river to not disturb the flow. Short tree points typically end within the trapezius, a muscle we know should not be carrying the weight of the rider, and as such, you see the atrophy as mentioned above. Ideally, the contact of your panel (and the tree points) begins 4" down from the edge of the spine where the D-ring of your saddle is, allowing the trapezius enough room to flex and develop without impingement.
