Hello team,

Booksy is at it again with the random issues - some bookings are being removed from the diary or cancelled. We are really sorry about this and have been on the phone with them today to resolve the issue - if anyone is involved please send me any screenshots as they help to explain/prove it’s not working as it should be.

If you have a booking for any services please check and let me know asap.

Thanks

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.

Good morning team!

A remind for all clients please DO NOT park at the gate or on the grass verges, the farmer has had to speak to two people last week about blocking the road it’s a private single track farm road needing access 24/7.

Enter from currie rugby club/malleny gardens and we are just after the rugby pitches on the left massive sign on the gate can’t miss us - parking is before the gate on your right a break in the trees with hardcore down. Please park there and walk to the gate it’s 2min walk.

Thanks
