A short video from Robyn at Equine Miracle about why she is so passionate about Sure Foot Pads. She has a clinic coming up here…

The obstacles clinic we hosted last weekend with Lauren Woodbridge Black Pearl Horses was tonnes of fun, but everyone also learned some really great techniques for helping horses navigate new challenges and many types of obstacles while staying below threshold so they build confidence and patterns of navigating novel situations in a relaxed way

This past weekend we had the great privilege of hosting Academic Art of Riding - Bettina Biolik for a clinic in her first Australian tour.

I am very fussy about who we host – I seek people who I think are great for the whole picture of body, mind, spirit and hearts of horses and passionate about sharing it with their students. Bettina absolutely shone at this, and I think as much as the students and spectators enjoyed the clinic, so did the horses.

I smiled at the comment below from Bettina about enjoying being able to bring “all of me” because I think for our wonderful community here of like-minded people that is something so many people commented that they really loved – first, we must see and honor the horse and what matters to them.

I am getting peppered with requests for next time so Bettina - I hope we see you again soon!

Thank you to everyone who came along for our first clinic with Academic Art of Riding - Bettina Biolik

Bettina has a beautiful way of teaching with clarity and empathy in a way that is easy to understand and follow. So many epiphanies!

I personally enjoyed many revelations around communicating with body posture and positioning on the ground and in the saddle, how to invite something by providing space for it and becoming more aware of how I might accidentally be blocking with my own body the very thing I am trying to achieve.

For example with my very sensitive thoroughbred mare Mahlia, that when in the ground work position on a circle to the right the angle of my hips is the difference between enabling a nice shoulder-in (very hard for her in that direction) and travers (her preference in that direction).

Bettina offered great lessons on refining the language of the seat so that we can ask for correct bend and lateral work through clear and precise seat aids, and once we are masterful at this – through the seat alone. As someone how enjoys riding bridle-less I am constantly seeking refinement of this and found the seat lessons so valuable.

I loved Bettina’s gentle approach and way of helping us all to think about what is important to teach individual horse, and how they communicate this to us.

I also really appreciated learning more about recognising incorrect spinal rotation and blocks in the transmission of power, how to correct issues and how to set yourself and the horse up for success.

I always enjoy the wonderful community of like-minded people we have here and seeing everyone enjoy the learning and horses and people alike both shining. All the combinations were wonderful this weekend.

Well I’ve jumped the gun and had two pre-clinic lessons with Academic Art of Riding - Bettina Biolik.

It’s always a bit daunting starting with a new trainer and not knowing if they’ll align with what you are looking for and how you want to train your horses. For those of you who are coming this weekend… You are in for some fabulous learning! Both of my lessons were brilliant.

My mare Lulu is very broad chested. Prior to working with her I never knew how challenging this would be… broad chests are good right?!? But it turns out conformationally broad chested horses easily get crooked because there is so much room in the chest to fall side to side, and also easily fall into the chest.

In my lesson with Lulu we worked on getting the outside shoulder forward and up to make room for chest elevation and thoractic sling engagement, correct spinal rotation, and how nuances in my body position make a huge difference between blocking amd inviting correct movement. The difference in her was very exciting!

With Mahlia we also looked at tools to help me identify and correct incorrect spinal rotation. This really feels like ‘the thing’ to me right now, so I’m very much looking forward to what the weekend reveals.

Looking forward to seeing some of you tomorrow and…. side question… what feels like ‘the thing’ to you right now? That pearl of understanding that you are chasing?

We absolutely love hosting and learning from Thirza at Functional Horse Training by Thirza Hendriks and Raquel at Integrated Veterinary Therapeutics.

Occasionally the stars align and we can have this amazing duo here together. 🌟🌟🤩

The stars aligned this past weekend and clinic attendees got the benefit of both together, and horses getting both very insightful bodywork and functional training.

We’re part way through the second clinic with continuing students and it’s wonderful to see the progression of all the horse and human combinations 😍
