This lovely warmblood mare came in earlier in the year, with a plan to resume work undersaddle.

She had been initially started, trainer and campaigned, before being a broodmare with no consistent work for many years now, an injury in the mid, and most recently carrying her on foal, birthing, raising and weaning.

Part of her assessment recognised she functionally didn’t have carrying ability at the time, so addressing that was part of the first step - a postural relearning, some proprioception, and time to develop the strength.

I made and tweaked a program over several weeks, and when she was consistent with the exercises and we knew the direction of progressing the program, she went home to continue with her owner.

When she recently came back, WOW!
Huge respect and appreciation for the owner for putting in the hard yards.
Her posture was completely different, showing connection through her body and looked and moved like a horse that had a capacity to carry a rider.

I am a light weight rider, and am riding lightly - forward and soft seat, forward and soft hands, forward and soft connection through the horse.
Sessions with a rider are short, low impact and low energy. And she has done so well with her first couple of weeks of life back undersaddle.

It was not that long ago we were unwilling to comprise on saddling and riding, and now here she is at a point where we are not only willing to work with her undersaddle but can see and feel the befits of it, and know we can progress towards addressing everything we need to over time!

So rewarding to be a part of!

Galsi, Icelandic C**t, is doing a super job learning some more about the lunging, one reining and two reining.
Circling around the trees and weaving between them really got him thinking!

Looking for her new human

Woodlgen Dakiri
Percheron Warmblood by Tulara Dakchico II
2022 (rising 3yo).

Dakiri is a lovely personable youngster, and is easy to catch, tie, wash, rug, float, good for the farrier etc. She has worn all of the gear without any fuss and had a few preps of work aligned with her age.

Lots of photos and videos available in her album (this one).

He has been well handled since birth, had lots of outings, easy to float, wash, rug, trim, dental etc
And has worn all the gear, is mouthed, works in hand, lunges and long reins, and lines up at the mounting block etc.

He will be super easy to bring on undersaddle as he matures and is a very keen willing partner 🤩

I have heaps of photos and videos of him!

Some one rein and two rein driving/long reining work with Lilibet and her human 💛

A process I work through with all of the starting horses, as a part of the mouthing, so they understand the feeling of the bridle for riding

It is also a really great tool for horses already undersaddle at any stage in their education to teach them more about the bridle; flexion, bend, and direction - how we are asking for a shape through the horse holding the same line, and how we are asking for a change in the line where the feet need to follow.
A great way to practise coming from bend to straight, straight to bend, staying through in transitions and feeling the horses body through the bridle connection.

And then being able to take that exact same feel to rhe saddle where we can also use the seat and leg aids in what we might be asking.

Everything we do has a purpose and is a step in the progression, the same ideas in the ground work, in the lunging, in the long reining, for undersaddle.

James - Opus De Coco

Another few months under his belt playing with the collected work, the laterals getting more established in the trot and breezed into the laterals in the canter work, I was very impressed!
Looking forward to his human mum visiting next week!

Beautiful Nera developing over the months 🤎

The trip to South West Vic, and settling in, took its toll on her - she absolutely loves spending time with people though, which made it a pleasure to work with her on the ground and undersaddle, to build her up again.
