🧠EQUINE TRIVIA ANSWER🧠
This may cause some controversy, but it’s important that you know there are ZERO 👌 benefits to using these restrictive aids. Here’s just a few reasons why:
1: Backwards pressure on the head will compress the neck and the horse looses their power from behind. The horse needs the hindend to move straight.
2: The horse falls onto the front end creating choppy steps and compromising their balance, vision and breathing.
3: Posture is dynamic. Meaning a horse should not be forced into a frame. Even the best looking posture with ruin a body if the horse cannot move or relax their muscles. A fixed headset does not build fitness. It builds stiffness.
4: The head and neck are communicating what is happening in the body. When the body is in balance the head and neck will follow. But micro-managing the head will only create tension and make the horse brace, making you fight harder with the body.
5: The horse will build muscle, yes. But not in the areas we desire. It will make for an overdeveloped neck and no engagement through the thoracic sling. This can lead to issues such as; kissing spine, tendon injuries, hock and stifle pain, nerve compression, and so much more.
There are no quick fixes! Only correct training. Headset should not be focused on too deeply. Ride and work with the body and the head and neck will fall into place.

Freelance groom required to join this great team. George, Emma and Rachel are doing a fantastic job keeping everything running, and we're looking forward to meeting our 4th team member.
I need someone experienced, reliable and competent handling a range of horses (including youngstock) for 3-5 mornings per week. Some weekend availability would be an advantage.
Please read the duties required before you apply. Our yard and turn out is designed for ease of use, and the horses move in and out in herds so you don't have to lead them all individually!
An interest in R+ would be a bonus but not essential, but you must be quiet and respectful with horses in undertaking the following routine:

Pick out feet and apply hoof treatments as required (14 horses)
Turn out first lot (9 horses)
Prep stables and feeds to bring in second lot (5 horses)
Skip out 8 stables, Muck out 2 stables (inc turning banks and adding fresh straw)
Turn out 2nd lot, skip out and set fair.
As a competent freelance groom you will be efficient at squaring muck heap as you go, be familiar with preparing feeds and generally competent at keeping the yard area tidy using your initiative. 2- 4 hours / day. Please PM with your CV, hourly rate and available days
