*POLES* you don’t have to use a lot or have huge fancy set ups to be effective, just a little imagination on how to ride through them.

Staggered as in these photos, whether 3,5 (or even more) will give you a variety of options.

🐴 Ride a single pole, 2 poles then 3 etc by placing them as in the pictures.
🐴 Ride straight - helps accuracy as you don’t have the whole pole to wander and wiggle over.
🐴 Ride in a diagonal- again promotes accuracy from you and increases proprioception from the horse.
🐴 Ride in between the poles, practice halts, move offs, rein backs all using the poles as guidelines
🐴 Ride in between the poles and then use them to help guide square corners.

Every pole layout you create can be used in many many ways to keep both horse and rider alert and make schooling more interesting whilst gaining the benefits of pole work itself.

Have fun and happy riding ❤️🏇

Well some of you will already know of Sid, who came to the yard as a kitten to be a mouser. She was apparently the least affectionate one of the litter. Well that didn’t last long as she loves cuddles. 🥰 Now the yard has sadly sold she packed her little bag and came to live with me yesterday. I think she’s settled in very well don’t you? 😍😘

Clipping season is upon us!! What are your thoughts on clipping? To clip or not to?

Please remember clipping is not a fashion accessory or there for aesthetics. Clipping has a specific purpose related to health and wellbeing of your horses rather than ‘just take it all off as I won’t have to deal with hair falling out come spring’

Clipping was brought in to keep the horse healthy.
• To prevent overheating in exercise,
• to help prevent loss of condition through excess sweating from exercise.
• to help dry quicker & prevent horse catching a chill

Yes it will cut down on grooming time too.

Please remember that the horse grows a coat for a reason, to help regulate temperature during colder months. Clip only as necessary for the work load of your horse / pony. There are so many variations of clips and each one can be bespoke to your horse / pony’s needs.

Horses are naturally more comfortable in their own coats than too many rugs that compensate for over clipping.

With horses (as most things in life) we should always be open to learning, rethinking, adapting and improving. You can only do better when you know how. Never stop your willingness to learn.

Iv’e seen a few posts lately on grooming, how often? how much? Quick flick? Just the muddy bits? Grooming is so much more than just cleaning the coat to look good or enough to tack up, it has a host of benefits to the horse’s health & an early warning system to brewing soreness.

Please find time and a way to groom for the good of your horse and your bond ❤️🏇
