Say hello to Sydney and Sooty.

Great to do a session of groundwork with them. Sooty needed help with picking up his feet, and they had a joint session to help with Sydney's separation anxiety. They both did really good, and were rewarded with lots of scratches.🐎🩶

I'm inviting you all to my first Webinar - Communicating with Your Horse When Riding: Mind, Body, Language.

It is on 22nd July 2024 at 18:30.

https://us04web.zoom.us/j/79421965334?pwd=VlD1QUzJVb07FVs61zyWUVsxdBADlJ.1

I wanted to do this so you can learn more about me, and one of the things I'm so passionate about. I will be discussing how you should use your mind when riding, how to use your body when riding and how you should be talking when riding.

These 3 things will help you build a better relationship with your horse, and work with them using natural methods.

This webinqr is free and will last around 30/45 minutes. There will be time at the end for you to ask any questions you have and I'd be happy to answer them.

The link is above, but id be happy for you to message or comment if you have any questions before, or would like to tell me you're coming. I hope to see you all there.🐎🩶

1 year of JF Equestrian.

I've not been so passionate for a job like I am with JF Equestrian. 1 year ago I decided to stop working for companies and bosses, and do what I've always wanted to do. I've always wanted to work with horses, and help fix behaviours, guide owners and watch relationships grow between horses and owners. It is so rewarding.

Thank you to everyone who has supported my business so far, and thank you to all of my lovely clients that I've had over the last year. Some of my current clients have been clients since the start, where I've been schooling their horse, or being there every week with any support they need. I appreciate you all.

I can't wait to keep helping horses and owners fix their behaviours, gain confidence and achieve what they want to achieve.🐎🩶

A lovely wandering with Theo.

We have been working on leading when doing groundwork and backing up. We also have been working on Theo getting past sections of a hack when he plants, so more going forward, working through and remaining positive. He now walks past the section and doesn't stop and loves the praise he gets afterwards.🐎🩶

We've been working on this in the school, and she was very calm and listened to everything when we did it on the road.🐎🩶

Kliny is now bending and is more forward going. She is stopping less, and she is understanding what I'm asking when I'm squeezing her to move forward.

I am taking it slow with Kliny and making sure she's always happy in the sessions, by making sure there's not loads of pressure on her.🐎🩶

I went to see Prince to help with picking up his feet.

I slowly went down his leg, giving him lots of scratches and praised him when he picked up his feet with more scratches.🐎🩶

Nolas bending has become more natural to her. She is moving off my body and my leg and doesn't turn away from the bend.

In the video, I am talking about her relaxing her head down on her own, rather than forcing her to collect or extend her head down. I ride with a loose contact for 2 reasons.

1. I have no choice but to use my mind and body when riding a horse. I use my seat and legs rather than relying on the reins. I want the horse to respond when I change my position slightly and use my body to guide them round bends rather than use the reins to make them bend.

2. When riding with a loose contact, I'm not pulling on the reins as much, I'm not pulling on the bit, or if they're bitless, I'm not pulling on their head. When this happens, a horse will put up more of a fight when you ask them to do something. This may stop your horse from doing what you're asking them to do, or they become scared when the bridle goes on, as they know they find a heavy contact uncomfortable.

I ride Nola with a loose contact to encourage her to lower her head, engage that top line, and start collecting herself naturally, not forcefully.🐎🩶

Ida has begun to understand what lunging means. We are gradually getting out to a larger circles. She just loves to come in and get scratches instead.🩶🐎

Doing some electric gate training with Kliny, and also tackled roads and noisy cars.🐎🩶

This was the first time Freddie has ever been to a show. We walked around and I let him look at all the other horses. He was really calm, so we went into a clear round class where you can have the jumps as high or low as you want. Freddie hasn't jumped a cross pole before, he normally runs through them, so we have been jumping over logs. He really picked up his feet today and is starting to know how to jump over poles and planks as well.🐎🩶

Jumping logs with Freddie at Poplar Park.🐎🩶

Having a great hack around the woods on Blazer.🐎🩶

Freddie loves the water, hot day and jumping ended with Freddie being very thirsty.🐎🩶

Freddie's gaining so much confidence with his jumping. He has his eats forward anytime he sees a jump.🐎🩶

Freddie taking a stroll through the water at Poplar Park again. It was the first time he's been out on his own with no other horses to follow or anyone on the ground, and he really enjoyed himself. We had a go at a couple of logs, a canter in the field and walk through the water. I made sure to take it at his pace, so that nothing got overwhelming for him. The more he can do and see when he's out, the more conferment he'll be.🐎🩶

Freddie out in the forest today.🐎🩶

Always let your horse play, go up to things they're not sure of and suss them out. It's all part of their training, and no session needs to be serious. So, if that's what they want to do that day, let me have a rest and enjoy themselves.🐎🩶

Freddie always has a fast paced step on and ears forward when we are going in the fields and on the track.🐎🩶

Nola going past the scary hedges. She has always walked past this side absolutely fine, but this time it was scary. This is her after calming down, and walking past it lovely.🐎🩶

Freddie enjoyed his walk down the track.🐎🩶

More drill rides at Becky Jackson Horse Riding. Spud and Logan were not feeling like keeping up with the others, so they had a ride of their own.🩶🐎

Sun and rain for Freddie this week. He's been to Tunstall Forest in the sun and enjoyed a walk round the forest. Then, he went to Poplar Park Equestrian Centre for a walk around the Cross Country schooling area. He took on inclines, declines and water, all in the rain. He's been out to different places to get him used to different environments.🩶🐎

Nola has become so chilled and relaxed in her sessions. We've been working on her bending, and she is now moving off my body more. I wanted her to go off my body more than anything, so shifting my weight slightly forward for her to go faster and shift my weight further back to ask her to slow down or stop. I am breaking her in bitless, but I still don't want feeling like I'm pulling on the rope and putting too much pressure on her.🩶🐎
