The power of reverse training
Now that got your attention didn't it? Not the usual type of topic we talk about!! But no... it's not what you think! We are actually talking about backing up!

Many of you who have been to my workshops or had me out to see your horses know how I feel about backing them up and what an important exercise I think it is not only for posture but for the body as well. but why is it so important?

Backing up is a great postural exercise because it encourages thoracolumbar rotation, conditions the core muscles and engages the lumbosacral junction. It also engages the thoracic sling and shortens the abdominal muscles.

Backing your horse up (and by backing up I mean once it's relaxed and comfortable with the exercise and can go 10-20 steps without raising it's head and hollowing it's back) can lead to:

Strengthening of the core muscles
Improved proprioception
Better muscle function
Stronger quadriceps and gluteals
Better forelimb swing phase
Improved posture
Better flexion of the thoracolumbar spine

This afternoon in between the showers of rain I got a ride in on this little gem!
William the German Riding Pony x I have been working for a lovely client while she has been out of action. This super cute little man picks up on things so quickly and tries his heart out 💜

Thanks to my (less than enthusiastic 😂) son for getting some video and photos for me xx

Dear Horse industry,

Stop being awful.

Stop putting others down for the sake of one's own prosperity.

Stop the whispers in the warm up ring.

Stop the snarky remarks behind closed doors.

Stop with the clicks and underhanded complements.

Stop with the need for newest and latest fashions or tack sets but never riding your horse in fear they may get dirty.

Stop manipulating others words or actions.

Stop normalizing poor sportsmanship and start normalizing folks who work hard.

Chances are if you've had horses long enough you've encountered some sort of this. From the competition world, to trail riders, to rescues, to top level riders, it's everywhere and it's terrible and it's got to stop. It's got to.

I've met riders, young and old, who are petrified to ride infront of people because some where along the line, someone told them they weren't good enough. I've seen talented people quit because of gossip and I've seen people give up on what they believe in because folks made them belive they were only 1' tall.

When you see a rider kicking them selves after a bad ride, tell them great job for hanging in there and give them some tips.

When you see that girl show up in the rusty old bumperpull, know she likely put everything she had into her entry fees.

When you see an organization fighting for what they believe in, fight with them.

When you see the girl too shy to ride, ask her to help you out by hopping on to keep your horse company because it would be an awfully big help.

When you see the girl scared to death in line up remind them why they are there and they have this.

When you see the girl discouraged over progress, remind them how far they have come.

The world is full of ugliness, horses should be our escape, not a place we feel belittled. We are all incredibly blessed to have Equines in our life. Becoming better Horseman is hard enough without having folks tear you down.

Please start normalizing raising each other up.

Elvis having a taste test of the MTB HiCal Lix to make sure it was safe for the girls in the back paddock 🙌

Being on a high oxalate grass (Kikuyu) the HiCal Lix is perfect for my broodmares and my almost 2 yr old filly who is learning the wise ways from the older ladies 💜
