Clipping season 😍
We get a lot of clients asking “why we shave our horses hair in winter”. So here’s a very simplified explanation. Over the winter months horses tend to grow a thicker and denser coat. This is a great way of keeping them warm as the temperature drops. However when horses are in some form of work/exercise the winter coat causes them to sweat profusely. Which in turn increases the risk of them losing body condition, becoming uncomfortable and can even cause a chill if left wet with sweat in the colder temperatures. So we simply remove the amount of coat necessary to make them comfortable when in work and make up for it with cosy rugs when not being worked.
**Spot on the other hand… is just a complete scruff bag over winter so gets a clip as to keep him nice and tidy (oh and for the rare few minutes work he may do when doing zoomies 😂)

ERNEST DILLON CLINIC 😎
What a day we have had! We had the pleasure of Ernest Dillon FBHS joining us for a day full of coaching! Covering both flat work & showjumping throughout the day. With a complete array of ability in both Horses & riders. Everyone came away with a refreshed and positive mindset and a clear pathway on how to progress their riding journey further! We are super grateful to Ernest for not only giving us his time today but also the years of experience and knowledge he shared with us all (with a touch of humour for good measure)
A massive well done to all who took part and extra carrots for all of the horses for behaving beautifully as always ❤️
If you would be interested in joining our next clinic please let us know so we can put you on the list!

COOPER 😍
Zoe had her first jump lesson onboard share horse Cooper today. It was very much a session of learning about one another and understanding Coopers way of going. Zoe had to learn when she could put the pressure on and make necessary adjustments and then the times when she had to sit back quietly and let him do his job. All In all a great session with both horse & rider learning a lot more about each other and building positively towards progression as a partnership 👏🏻
