This is so incredibly true!
Make them carry their saddle!!
Horse people are physically strong and also strong willed people who are resilient and capable of doing great things!
Love all my pony magic kids 🫶

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.

On Friday a friend turned up with some wild ducklings that had been abandoned by their mum
So Lou and Bella took them home to bring them up with their baby goose who had just lost their friend and was sad 😔
Lou has sent me a video today of Bella teaching them to swim and I think you will agree these are the cutest little pictures ever ❤️❤️

When you tell a child who has been struggling to meet the neuro-normative expectations place upon them at school that they have a "superpower" , it is going to invalidate their struggle, create the perfect breading ground for shame and possibly impair your relationship with that child.

Students with ADHD have a neurodevelopmental difference that creates some of the most extraordinary minds but most have to function and cope with the ordinary classroom, one not built for their extraordinary mind.

The mismatch creates the disability, and children are not at all in control of their environments.

Instead...
✨Teach them that all brains are different.
✨Teach them that different is not less.
✨Teach them to find and name ways of doing things that work for their brains.
✨Notice and celebrate their unique strengths .
✨Use those strengths to bridge support for challenges.

We make sure you first validate them because nothing feels "super" about being different than your peers to a child in the school setting.

We are sad to announce that Maisy’s beautiful Thor has had an accident this morning whilst away from our yard at a different location and has unfortunately died 💔

As a team we are absolutely devastated and heartbroken to have lost this beautiful boy and although he wasn’t used for Pony Magic he was very much a loved member of our herd 💔

Please give us time to process what has happened today and take time to grieve for a much loved gentle soul that Thor was
Sleep tight our beloved friend
Gallop free in the clouds until we meet again
Please do not message maisy she is heartbroken and needs time
