Free course on Biomechanics Basics.

Introduction to basic biomechanics principles and lameness assessment for horses. These are things I hope will become common knowledge in our industry - that's why it's FREE! Enjoy!

Hope everyone is staying safe and don't have flying field shelters or arena mirrors!
We are certainly facing many challenges, with dire weather always seemingly arriving at weekends and Strangles cropping up here and there( it is great to see many yards following safe practises and recognising transparency is well received).
I felt like I can have extra snacks today after doing some decent weight training ( muck trailer had fallen off stand so had to move muck and replace trailer on stand then replace muck), managed some very basic core and target work with the girls then did some resistance training with Teo ( my hound) on the way home walking in to the substantial gusts.
Hang in there.

Show and Tells
For every action there is a solution.
A symptom of what is needed.
Here is one where you try to solve with your hands when you need .........

As a rider I want to have time to practise what I have been taught, by my coach. I, of course, hope I have really improved by my next session though mostly I just want to truly understand and importantly feel what I need to be doing to help my horse and myself.

As a coach, I look forward to seeing how the rider has interpreted the session.
Has it been truly understood?
Can they do what I am asking of them?
Has it been well received by the horse and rider?

It takes time to learn how to coach each rider and horse combo, it takes time for a rider to find their right coach, to understand and be able to replicate then learn the nuances of what has been taught.

Oh aren’t they a little delight!

With lots of ice I fell foul to feeling frustrated at not being able to get on with much then remembered all I could be getting on with on the ground. I am very fortunate that my girls have the choice of the barn, field and hard standing though mostly they are round the hay bell haha.
Worked on Zaffi and Ella's core with lifts whilst in the yard
Same with Adie and added some haunches in, in hand
I do love hard frost, bright days though keeping them drinking enough and chipping off Poopsicles off the frozen ground less so 😬
What is everyone up to?

Couldn’t have a better ambassador or supportive regional rep

Meet our new Regional Reps!
Karen Smith - NORTH EAST

A bit about Karen -

As a Rider Member and selected North East Representative, I'm proud to support BWE's inclusive culture, which embraced the unique 5 gaits of my Icelandic Horses. It's heartwarming when fellow competitors explain to spectators when they comment "that horse is doing something funny."
My friend Karen and her Spanish Stallion introduced me to BWE at Nettleton Grange, with the support of Claire and John we've progressed, and made new friends. Working up to BWE's high standards has made my young Icelandic become braver and more agile around cows; both in the field and in competition.
Despite competition nerves and breed-specific challenges, such as performing in a 40x20 Dressage Arena instead of a 250m Oval track, we focus on trying to achieve Trot (not Pace) in Walk Trot classes.
I'm excited for 2025, to help facilitate, meet or compete with BWE friends and supporters, and to help grow the sport.

‘I don’t think I’ve ever felt him relax and listen like that before. It was absolutely wonderful. You’re such a fantastic coach. You made us both feel at ease. Bonner is very wary of new people and he doesn’t take to people in his space easily. It was lovely to see him let you in 💚’ Charlotte

For anyone who has had an in hand session from me you will get this 🤣
Hold your frame, head up and I don’t mind spaghetti arms

Our goal was calm, steady and fluid.
Very impressed with Charlotte’s timing ( we were using reward based training), learning to work in hand rather than leading and being so aware of her own space and posture.
Bonner is a real thinker, gets anxious and wants movement however movement does not calm him.
This worked beautifully for him and it was a pleasure to watch

Sneaking in before the weather changes! We’ve had so much fun on our Equi-Pole-Work course, so many choices and options. Very few photos today and only from one session however what a session it was.

Whilst I haven’t set any New Year’s resolutions I do want to remind myself of progress over perfection.As I rode Adriana around the reservoir we hit the spot the day before, she balked at. I was glad we got a little further and waited a little less before she found her brave and off we went again.The rest of the ride was wonderful with bridges, new road markings and low flying waterfowl haha.I reminded myself of the little mare who couldn’t bear anything near her quarters and the work we did to make it become ok.She may never become completely fine with all the challenges WE brings, for us I have loved the training, the learning and the fun we have had.I will celebrate the forward thinking where there had been backwards thinking, the understanding of our new cues and new moves and hope the overall picture is of improvement.A look back of Adie learning to become thoroughly bored of moving parts near her quarters.

Aw wonderful to have an update from last week. Jake ( who is 24), Annie and Piegi have all been enjoying their bridge! Thank you for the videos and photos Michelle.
