A really great point that has to be shared by Hannah Campbell Zapletal horse

"Make Them Carry Their Saddle

A father of a darling girl and I were talking last week and he said that he wanted his daughter to ride more and not have to do the work part of the catching, grooming, and saddling. I smiled as I explained.

Riding horses is a combination of strength, timing, and balance. Kids in this country are physically weak (unless they are actively involved with weight training and physical conditioning 4+ times a week.)

When you walk out to the field, you are clearing your stress from being under fluorescent lights all day; feeling the sun soak into your bones. As your body moves on uneven surfaces, it strengthens your legs and core.

When you groom your horse (especially currying), you are toning your arms and stabilizing your core.

When you carry your saddle, your arms, chest, and back are doing isolated strengthening work.

Being near horses, calms and makes you tune into the splendor of these empathetic animals.

When you ride at a posting trot, it’s equivalent to a slow jog calorie burn wise.

After a lesson, the riders are physically tired and mentally quiet and balanced.

Horses feel your heart beat and mirror your emotions back.

Riding large and somewhat unpredictable animals makes you resilient and pushes your expectations.

Working with horses is so much more than learning how to ride.

So parents, make your children carry their saddles. Don’t do the hard parts for them, as long term it actually hurts them. To advance with their riding, they must get stronger. You can help by doing the high parts.

I love having you all at the farm, and am so grateful to get to share these fascinating animals with you."

Would you like to join the RED MOUNTAIN HORSESHARE CLUB? 🤩🐎🤠

The Club has been formed as a social hub for riders who have committed to the HorseShare Programme, where we pair up our rescued and adopted horses with their very own human to give them the one to one love and care they deserve.

It's a rewarding experience for everyone, as not only does it give our horses a second chance but it gives our riders a chance to enjoy the experience together and also bond, ride and spend time with a horse as if it was their own, at just a fraction of the cost.

We still have some horses available, suitable for all different types of riders. If you would like to find out more, just send us a message and we will be happy to talk you through it. 🏇

It's always great to catch up with a friendly face and see how much the Volunteers over the years still love our equines.

Thanks for taking the time to pop back and see us and give Midnight lots of hugs and TLC, he's always a bit camera shy but I think these pics say it all, he was definitely happy to see his first mummy again Mackenzie 😍🐴🙏

A memory is worth a thousand words ❤️

It's been a long hard slog since the original Red Mountain team all disbanded in the name of Covid restrictions. Unable to visit, work or even just help with the horses, our super little team one by one just had to find a way to fend for themselves and had to give up all the things they loved.

We are all still recovering still to this day but these lovely memories pop up and remind us of the special place our horses, volunteers, kids, families and friends have had in each others hearts over the years. We may have to move on but we never forget ❤️🐴

Cherish the Small Moments with Your Horse

"What if we asked the old horse in Heaven about the best moments of his life? Do you think he would talk about the ribbons he won or the points he earned? No. He would talk about the hours you spent grazing him and playing with his mane. He would talk about your kind hands. He would talk about the sound of your car when you pulled up to the barn, knowing you had a bag of carrots for him. He would talk about the laughter of the child who trotted for the first time on him. He would talk about how their little hands gave such gentle pets on his nose. He would talk about the times you came out in the middle of a snow storm to make sure he was okay. He would talk about the time you stayed up all night with him when he was sick and scared and confused. He would talk about the times you cried on his shoulder, and while he didn’t know why, he understood. He would talk about galloping through green pastures and playing with his friends. He would talk about naps in the sun. And finally, he would talk about when he was hurting so much in this earthly existence, you set him free. He knows the decision literally broke your heart in half, but his pain was over and he will greet you again when it is time. Cherish the small moments with your horses. They are what he remembers."
