I love working in trot with horses.🏃‍♀️‍➡️💪 It's the most straightening, strengthening and at the same time suppling gait of all 5.⚖️🚘

If you ask a horse to perform it in different frames, exercises or you use objects as are ground poles, you get the most out of it.

On the picture there is just a tiny change in frame compared, but it's the beginning of the path towards the full "trot scale" - from working trot to extended trot and even piaffe or passage. All this is trot! It's amazing !

So ... start with recognizing of the carrying and pushing capacity of the inside hind leg and try to equalise both sides, left and right. All the rest is just repetition and patience.

Frisians 🐴⚫️◾️are quite flexible horses. With beautifully round, arched necks and long strides they can easily full you. Instead of using the core and flexing the pelvis correctly they often leave their hind legs far behind leaning on the forehand heavilly.

For carring the rider in a healthy way they need a lot of stabilising exercises. The best gate to start helping them to stabilise their back and use their core corectly is a slower paced trot.

Consider a break 🙈😄...

With quick Exercisses on the ground before & after riding you can easily warm up, stretch and relax your body so you can move more in synchronicity with your horse.

05/02/2024

When working towards collection from the ground or from the saddle as well, moments of stretching and relaxation in forward down and out posture and movement are essential. Only this way you can prevent the horse from developping unfunctional compensational movement paterns or even strains in soft tissue.

AN OPEN WEBINAR SERIES 1️⃣ 2️⃣ 3️⃣ to raise donations for ⭐️🌊 VICTIMS OF RECENT FLOODING IN SLOVENIA

🐴 OWNERS AS ADVOCATES FOR THEIR HORSES

As owners we love and care for our horses to the best of our ability, normally our decision-making is shaped by our surroundings and the advice of horse professionals we cooperate with. For this reason, we have organized a webinar series to empower you with even more knowledge about horse wellbeing, based on newer studies and principles of work, taking in consideration the nature of the horse.

🌊 Because of the devastating effects of recent flooding in Slovenia, we have connected with the Mohanji Foundation to help raise donations 🚩for the people who suffered horribly by the 4th August 2023 flooding. Overnight numerous people were forced to leave EVERYTHING behind in order to flee for their lives, as the water level rose up to 2 meters in height in a matter of minutes.

💗🙏The next step is to help people find permanent accommodation and to rebuild what was lost.

🚩Therefore we offer an open webinar series with two major benefits – KNOWLEDGE which will help you with informed decision-making, shaping you to be the best advocate for your horse and an opportunity to HELP OUT people in need. Help will be accepted by making a donation (the proposed minimal amount is 5 EUR per webinar) to the Mohanji Foundation (Mohanji Peace Center Slovenia). All funds will be directed towards furniture or building reconstructions for families that lost their homes. Donations can be transferred to the following bank account or via PayPal.

Bank account details for donations:

You know, when you have a training plan and a scedule to follow, but the horse just says "Let's have a break now" .😄🐴🐌😁😴😙🦄

1️⃣ Equine Pastern dermatitis / 2️⃣ Wound / 3️⃣ Abscess > Which one do you fear the most? 1️⃣2️⃣3️⃣ 😱 😁 ❓️

From my experiences:
3️⃣ Abscess = good👍
🔸️ something bad from the body is cleaning out 🍀
🔸️don't panick, could look like the horse has a broken leg
🔸️very good if the shoe can be removed, call an experienced trimmer/vet
🔸️after the acute phase he needs to move as much as possible
🔸️clean the liver

2️⃣ Wound = ok "💩 happens"
🔸️ keep it clean if superficial, or call immediately a vet, if big, dirty or deep
🔸️find out how the horse got it and remove the cause/dangerous object/situation

1️⃣ Pastern dermatitis = 👹 oh no !⛔️🚫❌️
🔸️ a sign of weaker immune defence and that a horse is under (unnoticeable) stress for a longer period of time
🔸️ very difficult to get rid off, especially if it has already damaged a wider range of skin
🔸️ focus on the cause, don't only treat the infected area
🔸️remove the stressor, adjust the food ration, especially minerals & vitamins
🔸️the wet weather and moderate temperatures are your bigest enemy in this war
🔸️keep the legs dry as much as possible, cut the tail shorter

🐴 Our case : All 1️⃣2️⃣3️⃣ photos have been taken from the hind legs of the same horse, the same day. He has been stabled alone in an open stable with the access to the grass pasture for more than a month. He could see other horses just from far away. The wather conditions were especially rainy with higher temperatures. He had been in light regular work. In his feed ration there were some lacks in Zn, Cu, Se and vit E.

⭐️🦄 While working from the ground with Horses that are without one eye, keep in mind that they need a different training approach regarding the side you are communicating from.

👉 At the beginning use more voice and direct touch from the "eyeless" side and less contact but same voice aids from the "eye" side.

👉 Beguin new exercises always from the sound side. Repeat them exactly the same from the side that they can not see.

👁 Sometimes they need to turn their head to see things with the sound eye, so always give them enough time to check, if they need it.

⭐️ Before asking for the exercise step-back, it's very important to invite the horse in a relaxed head and neck position and ask him to stand paralel as much as possible with his front feet.🫏😉

💪🎯🐴 Only this way he can benefit from this powerful exercise.

⚠️ Backing up done incorrectly can really harm the horse, especially if done at high speed or with many repetitions. For more info on this ex., check the coure 'Basic groundwork for horses' on Equitopia learning platform.

"SCHOOL YOUR EYES" ⬆️➡️↘️↗️ Different head and neck possition as a result of engagement of the core and hind legs of a young horse during canter work at liberty.

🐴The horse is searching for his horizontal balance using his mostnprecious tool - his head and neck.

👀During the training we are searching for the most functional position to prepare the horse for the rider, as seen on the biggest picture > relaxed underneck, open throathlace, the pole is the heighest point, spring of energy from behind up direction.

Training tip: Engaged, active halt/stop on the lungeline with a young horse. 💫✋🐴 You can mimick really obviously with your own body, your energy, intention and brathing the ful halt you would like a young horse to perform on a circle. ➡️ A precondition is active movement forward of the horse while coming into the halt, a good forward-down-out carrying of his head and neck, active muscles in the base of the neck, active core, focus on your aids and established basic communication. 🏇 In this video my aim is to ask the horse for the direct transition from trot to the halt. 🌟🥕Very important: Relase and reward obviously and immediayely after you are satisfied witth horse's performance. #younghorse #lunging #horsetrainingtips #transitionshorse #horse

Odi waiting for me at the grooming place. 🐴🐴🐴 If your horse knows the "protocol", he cooperates much better with you and helps you make the work easier.🎯 ⏰⌚⏳Horses loves timetables, scedules, predictable actions and routines. Knowing what to expect next makes them feel safer, so they can relax more and enjoy activities with humans. #lovelyhorse #cleverhorse #groominghorses #horseroutine #horsetraining #horsehuman #
