Super star mare looking for a rider!

If this was a photo of a dog then we would all be demanding justice and an end to this abomination! So what makes it okay to do this to a horse?

A horse is at least as sensitive as a dog, or as a human for that matter - could you imagine the outcry if someone did this to a fellow human? So how can anyone think this is okay?

There are very few specific rules for noseband tightness in horse sports. Dressage asks that one finger can be inserted in the fleshy hollow at the side of the face with no measurement where the noseband is tight on the ridge of the nose and the jaw bones. There are no checks on the composition of the noseband, which means it could be lined in solid metal or even a chain. There are no restrictions in show-jumping or eventing, and the no-blood rule is largely irrelevant in the case of over-tightening a noseband.

One has to ask oneself why the sport fears a change in the rules that asks for merely two fingers width, flush with the ridge of the horse's nose, under the noseband. Two fingers are SO little to ask for!

Of course, if the horse can open his mouth - even that little bit that two fingers allow - then we would see which horses are objecting to having a bit in their mouth, which horses might be in pain and which riders have strong or hard hands - it would be much more difficult to hide the fact that a rider may be using force so only the genuinely well-trained horses and genuinely skilled horse people would rise to the top. Now, that is something to think about!

Please help us get this rule changed and enforced by signing the petition.

Recommendation #7:
Improve the controls against the excessive tightening of nosebands and curb chains: Provide a more calibrated check, performed randomly during training sessions and systematically when entering or leaving each event, using a 1.5 cm ISES taper gauge placed on the nasal bones (which allow one adult finger to slide between the noseband strap and the hard nasal bone) and apply a penalty in the event of an infringement.

Recommendation #8:
Review the list of tack which, by its creative design or manufacture, can cause harm and discomfort to the horse, and prohibit its use in competition, in particular nosebands that increase the capacity to tighten (crank, lever, grackle, double, etc.) as well as flash nosebands in all disciplines: Create a positive list of authorised nosebands.

Many people are wondering about the safety of riding or exercising their horses in the current conditions. Air quality index data can be found on the weather network for your area. The chart below is a good guideline to follow until things clear up! Consider stall rest/no exercise at AQI of 10, mild exercise at 5.

THIS! 💥
Wonder why your horse fights draw reins, a harsh bit, etc??

Because you need to go back to basics and get rid of all the band aids!

ANY horse should be able to flat in a plain snaffle. Work on yourself. Educate yourself. Keep those hands steady and follow the horse’s mouth
♥️ that is all ♥️

So proud of these two brown horses!
Frank put in a solid Dressage with a 33.7pp (66.3%) which although not as good as it could have been he was still trying and thats what counts, I think! After a *rough* warm up for stadium he went into the ring and jumped around perfectly to leave us double clear in stadium! Cross Country he felt confident and keen again! We had one stop at a table because he wasn’t focused and I didn’t do a good job of making him focused but once we re-approached he jumped it like it was nothing! All this to say we finished 5th in the U25 Training!
Deeds was super for her first ever event! Dressage was a little stressful with all the commotion and horses but she kept her cool and put in a good test with 43.8pp. (52.6%) stadium was very good with one stop because the judge was very scary but we got over it and past the judge and continued on with confidence! Cross country was better than I could have ever hoped. She went out of that start box with vigour and came to every fence brave and bold! Im very happy with her 5th place finish as our goal was simply that, to finish!
Overall, im very pleased with the results and Im excited to get both horses out again!
