Been a hectic few weeks but just want to say how much I’m loving the lessons and training sessions we are doing
Keep up the good progress y’all 🤠
A few pics from our lovely sunny day at Hopton yesterday
We got Molly to work on being calmer on the approach to jumps by using the circle to 3 strides approach instead
Betsy rode so lovely, really proud
Also we made time to do some loading practice which was really worthwhile
Happy horsin’

“english" or "western" horse.

Good riding practices don't defer from one style, and shouldn't.
All horses need to learn to engage their core and work over their back, sitting weight on their haunches for the longevity and soundness of the animal, no matter the discipline.

A good rider is one that trains a horse in relaxation and balance with care and empathy to listen to the horse and give them the time they need to get physically strong enough to do the job and mentally prepared.......the rider has to be acutely aware of THEIR balance/ timing and feel....no matter the discipline :)

Balance Seat Equitation

A great diagram to show the progression we build on during my lessons
Rhythm and suppleness is the key foundations to all work we do
I give each rider a specific training exercise each session to help with core balance and strengthening
Contact, impulsion, straightness and collection only done once I see the horse and rider are working in good rhythm and supple
Horses and riders fixing on contact and collection forces tension and long term issues

Happy horsin’ xx 🐴

CW Ground work
Friendship first horsemanship

Work with your horses brain connection and focus to move their body for you
Reduce contact and control
Look in their eyes and read their mind and body language
Less contact allows more connection mentally between you
Start your youngster on a groundwork programme from day one and reset better manners with older horses
Establish leadership without dominance and control
Horses need a pecking order to manage their behaviour and reactions to certain situations
Confident human leaders allow horses to settle and willingly follow you without challenging you for the leadership role
A good team leader allows horses to show they can work well within their individual abilities if given the right environment and security to do so
A human with good leadership using herd communication techniques will mirror how the horse interacts just like in the paddock with other horses
Understand your horses pecking order will give you clear reasons on why they push for leadership or happy to follow
Commit with your body language and voice instructions Reward praise repeat
Let the horse look for the space and no pressure praise reward and they will start responding much quicker than being told only through pressured commands
Only use pressure and contact as a stabiliser not a constant take off once connection regained
