Two great lessons today with Chloe and her Apollo, working on her position over a fence, using her core and lower leg. Then a flat lesson with Emma and her Millie, working on flexion and bend as well as downward transitions.
They both did so well! Massive improvements!

Another lovely day with our riders in their therapeutic sessions. We saw one rider finish their last session as they are moving on to mainstream! Very proud!
We also had another rider chat with me and say words unprompted!
Thanks to Shona, Chloe, Aisling and Sophie for today!

🍽️Hard Feed🍽️ This is something that every full livery provides for their clients. But we have to look at what the hard feed is actually doing to the horses that get it.
Course mix/competition mix/12% or 10% mix is usually the norm for livery horses to receive, along with regular (molassed) beet pulp. Can anyone see the issue?
High concentrate feed with high sugar. What does what equal to the average horse? High energy levels and possible health risks.
At The Royal Stables our feed base line is fibre and forage, along with low sugar. We feed hay and not haylage (unless it is needed). As a result we have well fed and well balanced horses. We cater the feed to the individual horse and discuss it with their owner. Our base feed is Dengie Alfa A Oil or Dengie Hi Fi Molasses Free along with unmolassed beet pulp. This provides a boost in condition to those that need it and fibre to all.
We also talk about the correct supplement for the horse and advise the owners what works best for the horses needs.
I feed my own horses Top Spec Senior Balancer and Top Spec Linseed Mash, along with supplements from EquiSo CBD and EquiNutritive.
Ad-lib hay is accessible to the horses day and night and we provide trickle hay nets as well as loose hay for the horses.
I’m posting this as I would hope people take note of what’s going into the horses and see that fibre is the basis for anything. We see so many issues coming into horse’s lives with high sugar diets (same as humans), we see possible laminitis, insulin resistance, gastric ulcers, flare ups in conditions like hyperkeratosis (mallanders and sallanders) and flare ups in conditions like CPL in cobs or heavier horses (chronic progressive lymphedema) and and overload of the horse’s digestive system interrupting the natural bacteria (possibly contributing to EMS).
NB: If a horse requires extra energy levels we usually ask for a blood test first to see if there is an underlying cause in their drop of energy. Once that is clear we look at what we add to their feed to help. But the point of this post is a lot of horses are possibly on a higher sugar and concentrated hard feed diet than they need.

We had some amazing lessons today!!
First off was Chloe and Apollo, they did absolutely fabulously around our zig zag. Apollo giving some air time! Chloe really pushed herself today and did so so well.
Then we had Franny and Thomas, we changed up the exercise and kept it as poles. By the end they had to canter up to the pole, transition to trot over the pole and then leg yield to the track! Very technical but they were on point!
Lastly was Sophie and Flex, and Flex was jumping out of his skin today! They were flying around the zig zag and were really trying to improve the little things that matter so much when the jumps get bigger.
