Merry Christmas 🎄🎄🦄

Love the bling Xmas spirit :)

Learning 'leg on'. I advocate for teaching "how, why , then try". This client did serpentines and zig-zagged the cones with leg only - we are all so happy :)
(And she is going to feel that tomorrow lol)

Gotta love it when your pwnies come to the front door for a morning apple and you can take their rugs off for the hot day ahead at your doorstep lol

Position and seat. We live in a time where daily/lifetime posture is neglected.... I am so happy with this client's improvement. (L-R: Then and Now)
(Also note the horse's different carriage and engagement.)
Happy coach, happy rider, happy horse..... Super proud :)

Adding-on....
Clients this week will be asked to halt the horse half-way across poles and then reach for a leaf....

13/11/2023

You see a young girl on a large horse reaching for a leaf. I see: balance, concentration (I asked her to do it 3x), confidence, physio, task achievement, bravery, communication and (last but not least) fun :)

(I dont have kid's pictures on my fridge, I have flowers and leaves that they pick and give to me ###)

Lungeing and Long-reining - excellent groundwork/training/exercise/bonding for you and your horse

Transitions and poles - technical riding... Halt at 'X'.

31/08/2023

Horse interaction therapy.... Today we re-enacted the classical Greek myth of Pegasus (Tiki has wings), Perseus and using a mirror shield (saucepan lid lol) to turn Medusa to stone

From learning 'shoulder in' to 'at liberty' - all beautiful

22/08/2023

Happy pony, happy tiny child lol

12/08/2023

Learning 'shoulder in'

12/08/2023

We need to regularly remember that horse riding is fun. Today my little 6yo, her mum and I played 'tag' in the arena

05/08/2023

A girl's first attempt for show braids (incl. the ridiculous 'perm' when removed lol)

01/08/2023

Happy Birthday to all pwnies, everywhere.

Tiki and Mr Brown had a deep tissue massage/physio morning for their birthday pressies (with many thanks to Contact Equine Therapies)

30/07/2023

A girl's first effort at inside leg, driving the horse from the rear end... She was given tracks to try and turn along, resisting the urge to use reins - just pressure and release - she did super well. Next add-on: outside rein...

23/07/2023

Let's have fun! Today we began acclimatising Charlie Brown to horse archery (no projectiles, of course...) A couple of spooks but we are well on our way to surviving the Zombie Apocalypse lol

22/07/2023

Much and many highly technical exercises today - cooled and stretched down with some horse yoga :)

21/07/2023

Dally in training: Learning words (walk on, woah and back up) in a different terrain than the arena because groundwork manners are more important than riding

19/07/2023

More balance, confidence and position... [echo: position, position, position. lol]
and never forget: matchy, matchy :)
