Avancerad hand och underarmsträning/ behandling

Många av oss behöver träna lite specifikt, dessa muskler är oftast alldeles för svaga🏋️‍♂️

Min fina Fighter, snart startklar🥰

Det har tagit sin tid och det har det fått göra då han aldrig vill sluta växa den ”lilla” luringen 🎉

Bästa .frank111 är tränare🏋️‍♂️🕺

Kanske AI jag vet inte men ändå kul och se ett ekipage i självbärig balans med uppåtpush i skritt, inget bakåtlut där inte 🫶👍

Inget fel på denna artikeln Men tyvärr är det oftast mycket mer komplext än att bara länga den korta höften, oftast behövs behandling, säkerställa passformen sadel- ryttare, väldigt ofta försvarar sig ena höftleden genom att sätta ryttaren snett, önskar dock att det var så enkelt som det beskrivs i artikeln 😊

Och så visar bilden en häst på bogarna i LDR form med en ryttare i bakvikt…🤪

Vikten är ryttarens viktigaste hjälp – och den påverkar hästen hela tiden, menar Kyra Kyrklund. Tillsammans med Cathrine Laudrup-Dufour visar de hur sits, rytm och enkla övningar kan hjälpa hästen att hitta bättre balans:

Han har helt rätt att inåtrotationen ofta är alldeles för svag MEN tvååunktsits beror också på hur stigläderkrampan är placerad i förhållande till fotleden, kan du klura ut varför?

Håller du med?

“Nothing will change unless the judges stop rewarding it.”

You know, I agree with this statement in part. The judging does need to change.

But, if the ONLY motivator for people to stop using harmful practices with horses for competition is if they stop winning, it still exposes a problem.

If it learning that something is harmful is not enough for people to alter their practises, the door for corruption remains open.

Sure, if we changed the judging, certain aspects of what people do to win now will shift.

But, if people are willing to do whatever it takes to win, even if it is unethical, this can still come back around in one way or another, even if it looks different than things like hyperflexion.

 Equestrians need to care about the horse.

We need to be developing a strong enough moral background that people are not willing to put their horses’ welfare aside just to climb the levels of competition.

So, yes, the judging is an aspect of that because it’ll help shift behaviour in people.

But, ultimately, we need to be fostering such a love and care for the horse that welfare comes before competition.

And, that is something that requires a moral backbone that makes decisions based off of what is fair to the horse and doesn’t allow those decisions to be swayed by the promise of winning.

The judging needs to change.

But so do the attitudes of the riders.

If riders care more about winning than they do about the welfare of the horses, why are we doing?

Det här med bett är minst sagt komplicerat 🤔

🐎 Did you know this?
Do you know the difference between "lozenge" bits.
All lozenge bits are designed to give tongue pressure to help the poll flex. They just all do it in a different way.

1 - is a Neue Schule Team up snaffle. A fairly plain lozenge snaffle. This is NS's answer to the French Link snaffle. Its designed to distribute pressure more than a French Link with a rounded centre link and curved cannons.
As you can see from the photos, this has the most tongue pressure from all the bits presented here.

2- NS tranz angle lozenge snaffle. This lozenge is designed at an angle so that when a contact is taken up the lozenge rotates to a larger pressure bearing surface. This reduces some tongue pressure so that the lozenge presses more gently into the centre of the tongue for communication.

3 - NS verbindend with the angled lozenge and curved cannons. This was originally designed to enhance lift but it has been later found that it also gives tongue relief. The bit itself stays more curved in the mouth, reducing pressure on the sensitive parts of the tongue.

4 - NS turtle top Flex Z with a flatter link which locks upwards. This link is designed to be more aligned with the horses mouth shape - flatter wider tongue surface area, flatter to align with the palate. You can see that the cannons upwards movement towards the teeth is reduced. The cannons angle flatter to give arched shape and less likely to be dragged up into the mouth.

5- NS Turtle Tactio flex T - this is designed to focus pressure into the centre of the tongue diverting pressure away from the bars.

If you have any requests for bits for me to cover please leave a comment!
