As I say a lot when I teach the basics are so important.

A top training tip from Carl Hester – any horse can be taught how to halt square to pick up valuable marks at every level.

The charter outlines the actions we all must observe to meet the mental, physical and behavioural needs of each individual horse, under six headings…
1️⃣ Empathy
2️⃣ Care
3️⃣ Respect
4️⃣ Consideration
5️⃣ Ethics
6️⃣ Learning

Our fields have held up well with all the rain we have been having, so nice to see blue skies and sun today. We have still been able to turn out all of our horses as routine 8am to 4pm every day, our horses get to be horses out with their friends all day in big fields that we have. Jon does a fantastic job looking after the land and has a good grassland management system, we invest a lot in our land providing good winter turnout is one of our top priorities for horse welfare and having happy horses 🐎🐎🐎
