✨😉😆Totally Random Help Required😆😊✨

So I bought another Shires Blue and Black Haynet this week to add to the collection.

Lily is adamant that the new on is not the same as the other (older one - 2months old) because its smaller.

Can anyone please help settle this we have a wager on it now 🤣

Shires Black and Blue and their Black and Red nets grow once you have bought them and you can fit almost a house in them 😆 and that they one make one size in each colour. The blue/black is the smaller one and red/black bigger.

She won’t believe me. I got the wrong one apparently

🔊💪Last-Minute Prep for bluechipchampionships & POYS?
We've Got You.🏋🏼‍♀️🏆
💡 You’ve qualified, you’re entered… but is your horse actually feeling competition-ready?

Between revision, work, family, and life in general, it’s easy for fitness prep to slip—and suddenly, you’re a couple of weeks out, wondering:
🐴 Have we done enough?
🐴 Are they fit enough for multiple rounds?
🐴 Will they still have enough engine for the final day?

We get it. With all the time and money you’re investing to get there, you want to make sure your horse is feeling at their absolute best.

That’s where Yorkshire EC comes in:

🏇 Arena Hire – Need to polish up your lines, adjustability, or turns?
Book our Indoor and polish up on the flat & our Quarry Arena with vibrant jump4joyshowjumps inc fillers, planks and water trays available for hire.

🌊 Water Treadmill – The secret weapon for showjumpers looking for that extra edge:

✅ More power off the floor – Helps the hind end push more efficiently over fences.
✅ Smoother turns & stride adjustability – Improves symmetry, so your horse lands balanced and ready.
✅ More stamina for multiple rounds – Fitness without concussion, keeping legs fresh.
✅ Faster recovery – So they feel just as good on the final day as they did on day one.

⏳ Short on time? We can even fit treadmill sessions in for you—just drop them off, and we’ll handle the work while you get on with your day. Even late night sessions

Or we can go a step further and book you into our Treadmill livery and you can send your horse to us, and we’ll handle their structured fitness work while you catch up on life.

Need a mix of work? You can even skip a treadmill day and drop in for a ride instead or book to jump around the SJ course on arrival and pick up days!

💡 The countdown is on—book now and make sure you’re walking into that arena feeling 100% ready!

💭 Thinking of adding a new Friday evening showjumping option… what do you think?

In addition to our usual Friday Night Showjumping (starting soon - don’t forget! 😉), we’re looking at introducing a new relaxed Friday evening jumping night once a month from April to September - but we’d love to hear your thoughts before we lock it in!

🕠 Friday evenings from 5:30 PM onwards
🏇 Classes from 35cm up to 75cm
🤝 Assistance allowed – Need a helping hand? No problem. Whether it’s a coach, a friend, or just some extra confidence, just supportive and low-pressure.
💡 Keeping it simple – No changes to fillers or course changes, so it’s a great way to build confidence in a proper competition setting without added stress of remembering extra courses.

Would this be something you'd attend?
Or would you prefer a different night?

Let us know in the comments! If there’s enough interest, we’ll look at adjusting the calendar to fit it in.

More Lift, More Power – Why Dressage Horses Benefit from Water Treadmill Therapy 💪🚀

For dressage horses, lift, power, and core strength are everything.

🌊 Water treadmill work improves dressage movement by:

✅ Encouraging engagement behind without bracing.

✅ Building core strength for self-carriage.

✅ Improving symmetry for more even lateral work.

💡 If your horse struggles with sitting in collected work, staying through in the back, or pushing from behind, hydro can help.

Found yourself playing back videos of your horse and can see they need just a bit extra help.

Book a session at and find out how it can be the key to unlocking some 2025 goals!

When Your Horse is Lame, It’s Not Just Their Journey - It’s Yours Too.

📌 For Owners Navigating Rehab & Uncertainty

No one really tells you how hard it is when your horse is injured. Everyone talks about the rehab plan, the vet visits, the box rest… but no one talks about the sheer frustration, the doubts, the exhaustion of wondering ‘Am I doing the right thing?’

When your horse is on box rest, you’re counting the days. When they’re slowly rehabbing, you’re worrying about every step. And when they finally come sound, you’re questioning every footfall, wondering if this is the time it goes wrong again.

💡 I’ve seen this time and time again with owners at the treadmill. It’s not just the physical side - it’s the emotional toll of trying to do right by your horse.

🔹 Some days you’ll feel hopeful.
🔹 Some days you’ll feel like you’re getting nowhere.
🔹 Some days, you’ll wonder if you’ll ever have your horse ‘back.

🚀 That’s why structured rehab is so important. Having a clear, controlled plan stops the second-guessing. It gives you something to measure - not just ‘hope’ it’s going okay.

And for those who can include therapy to the rehab plan you know you have someone ready to hold your hand who really understands

So much so I bought my own treadmill 🙈

❓ Does this sound familiar? Let me know in the comments - sometimes just knowing other owners feel the same way makes the journey a little easier. 💙

A Good Walk Can Build Great Foundations 👇✨💦

It's so much more than 'just a walk'... 🐎

Of all the paces, walk is the most overlooked — and many riders and coaches say it is the hardest of all the gaits to train in a horse.

Walk is a four-beat gait, without a moment of suspension, and at least two hooves will be on the ground at any point in the step sequence.

👉🏻 Free walk: the horse is relaxed and supple over their back. Their head and neck stretches out and down, and there is a clear over-track (this is where the hind hoof steps in front of the hoof print made by the foreleg, rather than in it.

👉 Extended walk: the horse is in a longer frame and showing maximum ground cover with a greater over-track than the other types of walk.

👉🏻 Collected walk: the horse has shorter steps and is showing more elevation and activity in hind leg. The rider has a shorter rein and the horse is working in a higher frame.

👉🏼 Medium walk: The horse should stride forward with purpose (think marching) and the rhythm should be regular and relaxed, but with energy.

If dressage is your thing, the walk is worth double marks in places, so it pays to get it right! 🏵
