Patience. These days lots of riders want immediate results for minimal effort.

Allowing the horse to develop mentally and physically is an integral part of good training.

The horse needs to learn what is required from him, to develop muscle, fitness and maturity. There are no quick fixes for long term health and wellbeing within the boundaries of correct training.

Cadence and the beauty of movement, the ability to dance is not a given. It will not be so because you impatiently demand it with a heavy hand.

The horse will give you his all when you have given your all to him.

The learning never stops. This horse, owned from 6 months old, now 11, has been training with me all his life. He is an example of excellent manoeuvrability, power and softness combined.

Please be advised that all employees planning to dash through the snow in a one-horse open sleigh, going over the fields and laughing all the way are
required to undergo a Risk Assessment addressing the safety of open sleighs.

The assessment must also consider whether it is appropriate to use only one horse for such a venture, particularly where there are multiple passengers. Please note that permission must also
be obtained in writing from landowners before their fields may be entered.
To avoid offending those not participating in celebrations, we request that laughter is moderate only and not loud enough to
be considered a noise nuisance.

Benches, stools and orthopaedic chairs are now available for collection by any shepherds planning or required to watch their flocks at night.
While provision has also been made for remote monitoring of flocks by CCTV cameras from a centrally heated shepherd observation hut, all facility users are reminded that an emergency response plan must be submitted to account for known risks to the flocks.
The angel of the Lord is additionally reminded that prior to shining his/her glory all around she/he must confirm that all
shepherds are wearing appropriate Personal Protective Equipment to account for the harmful effects of UVA, UVB and the overwhelming effects of Glory.

Following last year’s well publicised case, everyone is advised that legislation prohibits any comment with regard to the redness of any part of Mr. R.
Reindeer. Further to this, exclusion of Mr. R Reindeer from reindeer games will be considered discriminatory and disciplinary action will be taken
against those found guilty of this offence.

Whilst it is acknowledged that gift-bearing is commonly practised in various parts of the world, particularly the Orient, everyone is reminded that
the bearing of gifts is subject to Hospitality Guidelines and all gifts must be registered. This applies regardless of the individual, even royal personages.

Whilst it is acknowledged that gift bearing is a common practice in various parts of the world, everyone is reminded that the bearing of gifts is subject to our bribery policy and all gifts must be registered. This applies regardless of the individual,

It is particularly noted that direct gifts of gold is specifically precluded, while caution is advised regarding other common gifts such as aromatic resins that may evoke allergic reactions, such as frankincense, myrrh and other well known High Street body & bath oils.

Finally, in the recent instance of an infant found tucked up in a manger without a crib for a bed, Social Services have been advised and will be arriving shortly.

Have a Merry Christmas and a Safe New Year
Merry Christmas everyone!

"The Master is always the Master. The simplicity of the movements, the elegance of the gestures, makes everything seem so easy. But it is the firm hand that lends the elegance, a profound knowledge and respect for the horse"

Wise words.

The legacy of Hans von Blixen-Fineke.

β€œI have chosen to include the element of β€˜Art’. By art we mean the feeling of personal involvement: aesthetically, musically, as well as the appreciation of harmony and grace in the fluency of movement in this continuous exchange of information and ex*****on that goes on between the trainer and his horse, then, surely we experience something which has raised itself above the mechanical craft. The training of the horse and rider top act together is based on a mutual respect and understanding and only then can reach the highest levels of beauty, balance, and rhythm. Dressage must not be downgraded to mechanical tricks. It must remain a means to an end, not become an end in itself ".

An "outline" explained.

β€œA horse does not engage and carry its body in a round and through fashion because of the way someone is forcing him to carry his head and neck.

That head and neck carriage is a symptom of how the horse is using his mind and body.

When a horse is supple , soft, and has no resistance in his legs and has the confidence to work with energy, then he will use his body correctly and shape up in an appealing fashion.

If you create resistance by trying to force his head and neck into a frame and drive him into this and you will at best get a poor counterfeit of true engagement.
More commonly you will get a horse that is heavy in the hand, that lacks energy, is out of balance, is hollow backed and injury prone.”
