During a recent PoleDressage lesson I quietly observed my client’s (perfectly sound) horse knock pretty much every single pole he went over.

After the demolition finished I asked his rider why she thought he had done that …
‘Maybe because I approached it wrong, maybe I dropped my shoulder, maybe I didn’t do my half-halt in time, maybe I did or didn’t etc etc …’

Then I asked her who was responsible for picking up HER feet?
‘Well me, of course’
Hmmmmm.
And who is responsible for keeping your mind on the job?
‘Also me’
Let’s think about that for a moment🤔

Sometimes we overthink things. Sometimes we are quick to blame ourselves when things don’t go great. Sometimes we try TOO hard.

And sometimes, we take away our horse’s RESPONSIBILITY for their own movement and their own SELF-DISCIPLINE to carry themselves, look where they are putting their feet, adjust their own speed and focus on the job in hand …

Just a thought 🤔

Need I say how wonderful PoleDressage is for teaching your horse to focus and adjust their own stride😂😍

EVA & ‘BACI’ (Warmblood. 14yo. 17.3hh)

‘Our first PoleDressage session was great for my 2* eventer & also for myself.



It teaches the importance of accuracy by giving obvious markers & the consequence of messing up a stride when you’re not accurate, which will transfer perfectly into the dressage arena.



The pattern really helped my 17.3hh Warmblood come over the back & step deeper underneath himself which is something he struggles with at times.



Working over poles is great for eventers, not only by engaging their core but also for making the horse more accountable for where they put their feet - which is vital for cross-country. It also connects their brain to their feet whilst encouraging correct, even paces .. something we should all be striving for.



Baci & I loved PoleDressage & can’t wait to do more!’

💚❤️💚Adding pole dressage patterns into the training and education of my horses has been so beneficial for them and me.

For my more educated western dressage horse who is coincidentally also learning to jump, the introduction of poles in his flat work rides has helped to improve the elasticity and freedom of his movement and adjustability of his gaits. It has also helped him find confidence with poles as he starts his jumping education.

For my young, just started horse the introduction of poles around the arena has given him something to concentrate on where he can still get a bit distracted. They also helped him think about where he is putting his feet as well as improved the adjustability in his gaits.

And for me the patterns have helped me find more direction in my flat work rides. I can often fall into the trap of doing the same shapes and movements around the arena and these patterns gave me new things to try.

Getting diagnosed with Stage Four Breast Cancer in 2020 rocked my world. It took a huge and conscious effort to change my sad, negative mindset ..

After a lot of emotional up and downs, I chose to see terminal cancer not as the ‘end’ but as a ‘barrier’ that I could smash my way through and bring my long-standing dream of PoleDressage into reality.

I certainly couldn’t have achieved any of it without the love and support of so many amazing people .. thank you all🙏💜🙏

BELIEVE. GO SHATTER THOSE BARRIERS.

HORSE RELATED POST :
So last year I was involved with two amazing people to bring about the birth of a dream for Horse trainers. Vanessa Hancox always had a vision to make Horse training accessible and safe using Poles, and not just boring grids, (like I did at pony club) but dynamic and exciting challenges

Melanie Gleeson worked her magic on the brand and graphics and thus appeared https://poledressageonline.com/

‘The reins of success ..’ I just love that🥰

But you know, it’s so true.
I’ve seen so many horse & rider combinations who have struggled away for years in their chosen ‘discipline’, then they looked outside the box … and everything changed.
And for the better🥰

Don’t be afraid to look outside of your box. Introduce your horse to something new and different ..
You may be astonished 😉

Here’s something out of the box: PoleDressage🙌🙌

I love this quote .. ‘the arena of life’ that really resonated with me …
Because life is just like a dressage test - there’s lots to learn & lots to do and things don’t always go the way you’d like - no matter how much preparation you have🤷‍♀️
And we go through our lives riding these tests every day out there in the public arena with everyone watching our struggles and successes ..
Kindness. And compassion.
Always show it🥰

My BigDream2023 and the creation of PoleDressage .. a fairytale come true🥰

“Strength doesn’t come from the body. It comes from the will.”

I’ve been very reticent to mention my breast cancer journey as I didn’t want to be perceived as attention-seeking nor did I want to allow bc to define my life, but a fellow bc lady said she would actually find it inspiring and hope-building and encouraged me to share.

So I had another think about it🤔

Breast cancer does not define you.
But it does give the opportunity to discover untapped resilience and strength .. and if you can be at peace with it .. anything is possible 💜

This was the most wonderful day of my life and I’m so thankful for everyone who helped make my BigDream come true ..
