A small stab in the heart is what you feel when you put up the day's riding list and you see riders sinking heavily in their shoulders when reading which horse they are assigned for the lesson. A small stab in the heart for that horse that for an hour will carry around a rider who has already decided that he does not like his horse. A small stab in the heart for the horse that did not choose the rider himself but still does his best, lesson after lesson.
Riding is a privilege and something you have chosen to do. If you chose to ride at a riding school, your instructor assumes that you actually want to learn how to ride. The instructor's highest wish is that you get good at it.
Often there is a plan and a thought as to why you are assigned to that exact horse. Before you mount up next time, ask yourself "what can this horse teach me today?" All horses have something to give, a feeling or a new tool in the box.
The art is actually in being able to get a lazy horse to move forward, to get an uncertain horse to gain confidence, a naughty horse to focus or a tense horse to be released. It takes work. If you think a horse is boring, it's more likely that you don't ride the horse as well as you think! It's not easy to be confronted with your own shortcomings, but it is in that very situation that you get the chance to truly grow as a rider.
The excuse that "it's not my kind of horse" is actually a really bad excuse. A good rider can ride any kind of horse. A good rider has trained many hours on different types of horses to become a good rider. A good rider can find and manage the gold nuggets in every horse.
If we absolutely want to ride, it is our duty to strive to do it as best as possible, even if it's only for fun. We owe it to every horse that carries us upon it's back.
Copied and shared with love for all of our horses, ponies and riders πβ€π

A little insight into β behind the scenesβ at Squirrel Wood
Poor Kaiβs leg has not been healing as well as we hoped. The vet canβt do much more. So after 2 weeks of leg casts and sedation itβs now over to Team Squirrel Woods amazing senior staff.
In these pictures the team are working togetherβ¦..Mel diverting his attention, Meg applying the necessary creams, Izzy cutting bandages and myself securing dressings. All done in record time before he realises whatβs happening!
Because itβs so sore Kai canβt cope with pressure on the wound. Meg came up with the most brilliant idea to protect itβ¦.can anyone guess what the dressing is?
Fingers crossed for his recovery π€π»π€π»π€π»π€π»π€π»π€π»π€π»
