SENSORY HAIRS

The FEI has determined that any measures to trim or shave off a horse's sensory hairs, including whiskers, eyelashes and the hairs of the inner ear, is not permitted and shall lead to an elimination of the combination for the competition's duration.

Sensory hairs are of extreme importance for proprioception for the horse. They aid the horse's ability to judge distance and navigate in the dark. It has been shown that trimming or shaving these hairs leads to increased susceptibility to injury.

Taking advantage of a snowy day to work on balance, strength, & alignment with our Surefoot Pads. We love utilizing this great tool to teach our horses to engage & strengthen their core & discover how to more effectively utilize their bodies.

Welcome to the CBE Riding Academy lesson horse crew Winnie!

Winnie is an 18-year-old Connemara mare. She is very sweet and patient, and absolutely loves scratches and grooming sessions! 😄

She'll be going through our standard acclimation and tune-up process with staff before joining lessons with students. This gives both the horse and the students the best opportunity for success in future lessons, and gives our instructors a chance to get to know her well before teaching with her. Just one of the reasons our lesson horses are the superstars of our Riding Academy! 👩🏾‍🎓

We can't wait for all of our students to meet her - we know you're all going to love her as we do already!! 🦄

(Interested in meeting Winnie as well as all of our other AMAZING school horses?
Just send us a PM to connect with us!)

Due to life changes, her owners need to move her on to her next chapter in life. I can't wait to see what she can do with her own person!!

She absolutely LOVES having a job, & thrives in a regular program. Perfect for a confident, experienced Young Rider or Adult Ammy in a program with a knowledgeable professional. Has competed through BN eventing, could easily do more, or switch to the hunter/jumper arenas. She loves to jump, snuggle, and appreciates someone who is kind & clear.

Particular preference if she stays in our program with her new person, but not required.

Such a great point.

More on the German phrase that says “riding is only learned by sweeping.”

I remember an example of this one night, about 40 years ago, when I was spending a month at Walter Christensen’s dressage training stable, Stal Tasdorf, in Tasdorf, Germany. (photo of Walter teaching)

Walter’s main barn had a cobblestone type of floor, hard to keep clean because of all the indentations, and in various corners were funny little Hansel and Gretel type brooms, straight handles with what looked like a bunch of twigs wired to one end.

Everyone had left, all the working students, all the riders, and here was the master, then coach of the Swedish Olympic dressage team, vigorously giving the aisle one last cleanup before turning out the lights.

In the great scheme of things, why would it matter one iota whether the aisle was immaculate? Early next morning, when all the horses were being fed, hay and straw would get spilled all around, and who was going to see that floor in the middle of the night?

But that’s not the point, is it? And for those who do see the point, they probably would have been at one end of the broom. And for those who can’t grasp why it mattered to Walter, they’d have left it as it was.

To what extent can pride in a way of doing things be taught? Because that’s what’s at play here, I think.

And pride in one detail spills over into pride about other details, until it creates a mindset, a way of being. Or not---And in that way, sweeping teaches riding, tenuous as the connection might seem.
