Loading Horses 👇👇👇

And this is why ground work is key 🔑 👌

Loading horses can be an extremely annoying and time-consuming task! Issues can be made worse by the adrenaline of a show setting, and after a long day of competition, people are frequently tired and frustrated.

👉 Naturally, loading exercises at home will be beneficial. Still, in order to be able to step your horse forward, backward, and sideways with composure, you must first master your groundwork and be able to move your horses feet.

👉 Next, you present your horse to the ramp of your horsebox or trailer using this technique. Apply light pressure on the halter to get your horse to step forward, but if they resist, tap them on the shoulder with the schooling whip until they do. Once more, acknowledge their forward motion with a release of pressure on the halter and cease tapping as soon as they take a step. It truly is a matter of taking things "one step at a time," so patience is required!

👉 Their eyes undoubtedly stray during a show, which could lead to further loading issues. Before he gets to the horsebox, make small circle lunges towards the bottom of the ramp to get their attention back. If they tend to keep looking around rather than in your direction, make them work extra hard by having them turn their head slightly towards you and changing direction frequently. The horse will perceive the horsebox or trailer as the "nice, easy" spot to relax, while they must work outside, which is an additional benefit of doing this!

An introduction to stress points 👇👇👇

▶️ Stress points at the muscle's origin tendon, which is attached to the least mobile bone, might form as a result of intense training. It is our responsibility as massage therapists to make every effort to prevent stress spots in the horse.

▶️ Stress points can be as small as your little finger and feel hard and rigid. You can feel this hardened tissue, which may be slightly swollen. When you press on this area, the horse will respond. The tight band of muscle fibres that crosses the muscle (the muscle bundle connected to the stress point) may also be visible. It's crucial to keep in mind that stress points don't always develop at the exact location of trauma or injury. Stress points frequently form in the compensatory muscles of injured horses during the healing phase.

Raised Poles in Walk 👇👇👇

This workout is excellent for:

▶️Building up

To clear the raised poles, your horse must lift their limbs and raise their back and thoracic sling (shoulders), using their core stabilising muscles.

▶️ Flexibility

To get past the elevated poles, your horse will flex the joints in its limbs, stretch over the top line, and extend its lumbosacral region (pelvis).

▶️ Proprioception

For your horse to navigate the uneven spacing of the poles and avoid bumping into or falling over them, they must be aware of where their body and limbs are in relation to one another.

Despite their ability to graze for long periods, horses have limited appetites and can only consume the equivalent of 2 - 2.5% of its bodyweight as food per day. Ideally, as much of this as possible should be forage. ✅

𝗔𝗽𝗮𝗿𝘁 𝗳𝗿𝗼𝗺 𝗶𝘁𝘀 𝗻𝘂𝘁𝗿𝗶𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝗮𝗹 𝗰𝗼𝗻𝘁𝗿𝗶𝗯𝘂𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝘁𝗼 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗵𝗼𝗿𝘀𝗲, 𝗳𝗼𝗿𝗮𝗴𝗲 𝗶𝘀 𝗮𝗹𝘀𝗼 𝗼𝗳 𝗽𝗵𝘆𝘀𝗶𝗼𝗹𝗼𝗴𝗶𝗰𝗮𝗹 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗽𝘀𝘆𝗰𝗵𝗼𝗹𝗼𝗴𝗶𝗰𝗮𝗹 𝗶𝗺𝗽𝗼𝗿𝘁𝗮𝗻𝗰𝗲.

⭐ The digestive system is designed to have a constant steady flow of fibre-rich food flowing through so access to ad lib forage will ensure it continues to function healthily.
⭐ Horses are designed to graze for 18 out of every 24 hours. If they are deprived of forage or pasture for any length of time, it can cause stress as well as digestive upset.
⭐ Chewing releases saliva, which helps neutralise the acid constantly produced by the horse’s stomach, so any period without forage leaves the stomach vulnerable to ulceration.

Forage alternatives are available for horses and ponies who may not be able to eat hay or haylage. Our new product, Natural Meadow Cobs, break down to a mash, so ideal for all types of horses, including equines with poor dentation. 🥰

Hacking is a lot of fun for the rider and the horse. Finding a break from riding in a school can be challenging for many due to their busy training schedules, but there are so many advantages to riding outside that it would be a shame to pass up the chance, especially since it doesn't require giving up on their education. Hacking allows you to use your creativity and critical thinking in a variety of settings. It's an excellent method of teaching your horse to perform effectively in an entirely unfamiliar environment. It will also teach them to concentrate in unfamiliar settings, which will be useful when competing in novel venues. Here are some suggestions for more imaginative learning environments. ✅️ TRANSITIONS WITH TREES Correctness is crucial when training your horse. One excellent technique to help you achieve more precise transitions is to use trees as markers. It will help you and your horse stay focused during hacking, which is crucial for maintaining control and safety. Try using direct transitions like halt-trot and canter-walk after you've practised walk and trot transitions. ✅️ TRANSITIONS WITHIN THE PACE Working on shortening and lengthening your strides is the simplest approach to teach your horse when hacking because it's a basic activity you can do anywhere and it will help you both stay focused while also improving your control, which is essential when hacking. Since you don't need many precise places to transition, it's also a relatively simple exercise to try in an area without many natural markers, like a field. Working on speed changes in large, wide areas helps your horse to be aware of you at all times and is an excellent way to ensure that you have control in a variety of settings. ✅️ IMPROVE YOUR CANTER Avoid letting your horse jump straight into the canter when you leave the arena, as transitions are essential for a well-balanced and established canter. Before attempting to transition, make sure you are in a quiet area a
