Susanne, Alex And Holly riding Generoso, Ehpico D’Atela and Exparta D’Atela with Maestro Francisco Bessa de Carvalho 🤩
Well done daughter. Made a lot of people happy. Mistral D’Atela out of Inter A. A quiet speed round by your standards. But a great start to this unexpected arrival into Advanced. Well done everyone at Ashton Le Walls 2024.
Holly and our very much loved Bacardi (Ginger) 🤩
In the 1970’s ….. I gave some talks on mental resistance of the horse and rider. Still have my notes somewhere. Was reminded of this today.
Horses take tremendous confidence from the rider. You don’t have to be super brave. Just have to take a big breath and convince your horse. Don’t bend your horse away from problems. Shying is avoidable !! Bacardi’s first go at 18 with fire 🤩 show training ❤️

Friday Shoulder in Tip 🤩
1. Careful not to lose the outside shoulder or you will not get stretch through horses pectorals
2. Don’t hang on to the inside rein @remember wise words of Richard Watjen. “All lateral work is the same the only thing that changes is the yielding hand and the direction of movement”
3. When we talk about collection of the inside hind leg. Perhaps we should think about not blocking with the inside hand. Therefore energising the inside hind leg.
Lastly hind legs should not cross in SI. Try not take inside leg back, otherwise hind legs will cross and movement is lost
Happy Shoulder In Friday
