So what did they see as they rode out this night?
A sleigh with reindeer all in flight!
Once not believers, but now what the hay?
Did they really see Santa, reindeer and sleigh?
There is a magic at Christmas that makes things appear,
like love, peace and joy and, yes, flying reindeer!
-Stephanie Laird

🎁 Merry Christmas from our farm to yours. 🎁

Good Read. What is your seat telling your horse?

Regardless of the style of riding that you prefer or Practice… whatever it is maybe riding young ones , trail riding, competition from polo to campdraft to whatever it is that you pursue ..
My sensational Sunday suggestion is to think about your seat and how it moves or doesn’t move in time with your horses movement .
Rising to to trot is a basic element of riding that most of us learn when we start out ..this is a wonderful example of moving your seat in time with the horses movement..
How much or how little we rise can greatly influence the length of stride , but how about the sitting trot ..
Can you absorb the movement of your horse’s body through your core ?
And then can you speed you horse up or slow it in the sitting trot and … keep your torso still so that your arms and hands are not bouncing around .?
What about the walk , can you speed up and slow down the walk by exaggerating the movement of your hips ?
Can you brace your hips and slow your horse down?
Do you always have your hips braced ?
If so you’re getting in the way of your horse’s movement ?
Same with the canter
Can you speed up the canter by exaggerating the movement of your hips , can you slow your horse down by slowing the movement of your hips ?
Are you always braced through the hips and inhibiting the horse’s movement at the canter ?
Think of a dance partner who is braced through the body ??
Kinda hard to boogy with yeah.
And then what about the angle of the hips .
Do you ride with a posterior tilt ..ie sitting back on your pockets like you’re on the couch??
Do you ride with an Anterior tilt , ie hips tilted too far forward or a neutral position where you’re sitting evenly on your seat bones allowing for posterior and anterior tilt when required.
Anterior tilt is common when we’re asking the horse to go , posterior is common when asking for a stop ..
Are you always saying stop or go with your seat but sending a different message with your hands and legs ..?
Have a think and a feel about what messages are you sending to your horse via your seat ..
And if you want to seriously improve your riding take a deep dive into learning all about this topic , get lessons, watch utubes , be aware of your seat constantly throughout your ride …
You’ll definitely improve as a rider and the communication that can occur between the horse and rider via the seat is immense .

Not Your Baby AK - 2020 Half Arabian Mare (Aarowhead's Unlike Any Other X Margarita Rose PF) This 4 year old mare is getting started in the full bridle and will be ready to show in the spring. "Billie" has an incredible brain, Her trainability is top notch. The same horse every day, I never lunge or line her before I ride, she goes straight to work and is always straight forward. I have no doubts she could be ready for an amateur or youth rider later in the year after she gets a few shows under her belt. She is simply a barn favorite. Her kind, in your pocket personality, will steal your heart. Oh, and she gives kisses.... 🥰I WOULD LOVE TO KEEP THIS ONE IN THE BARN! LETS MAKE IT HAPPEN! 🥰

Just thankful we made it to Mid January before putting heated water buckets up! 🙌
