Lisa Wilcox working with Ernst Hoyos, he tells us:
“Riders don’t realise that they are asking two opposite things. I also have a nice contact in the forward, but the pressure I make, I have also got to let out again. This is the ever-changing task of maintaining the energy – it goes back and forth over the back, this is the bridge, and the energy is going from the hind end and the hocks over the back through the neck and into the mouth, and then back again. You are just maintaining the energy. If you brace with dead hands, then the energy flows out the back.”

Pumba and Michelle Part 2

Just so proud of these two ❤️

11/01/2024

Who remembers Pumba, quite some time ago, who presented himself under a different rider as a head flinging, jigging, hot mess of a horse that intimidated anyone to touch him with their leg? Here he is today with his Mom, Michelle (who also has Gulliver), and what a break through. Hard to believe it’s the same horse. (He also took an hour to load before arriving, so added stress for poor Michelle!)

To answer a query about Daily Dose Equine Feed ( available at feed stores and Chewy—which delivers right to your barn door!) This is why I choose Daily Dose’s Mass-no-Sass for Zalazar:

Mass-No-Sass is a hay-based whole food boasting both high fat and fiber. Roasted barley adds extra calories. This grain digests in the foregut, allowing a horse to maintain focus and calm during training. Canola oil and peas round out this no-soy feed.

Wonderful read.

In an interview she gave the British magazine „Dressage“ in its April 1992 issue, Gold said that “as a judge I regret that so many riders fail to carry on a conversation between their hands and the horse’s mouth. The hands can feel what the horse is feeling and vice versa.“

When the British flag was raised and „God save our gracious Queen“ was played on the equestrian’s holy grounds of Aachen in 1958, dressage history was written in the truest sense of the word. For the very first time a rider from the British Isles won the highly regarded Aachen dressage Grand P...

Tommy’s back with ex jumper Tallulah, who can be quite distracted by the horses on the property. Shes also been living on her left shoulder for quite some time, but she’s a super horse for Tommy’s education as she requires that her rider prevent her from falling onto her left shoulder every step by using his leg and seat while not holding the left rein (which Tallulah would LOVE him to do). She requires tact and precision coupled with softness and relaxation and Tommy did a really nice job here, getting the pieces of the puzzle first at the walk so that he could get a quality trot that was aligned and soft. Good job!

And this is why it is imperative to understand what the Palmar angle is and how it affects your horse’s soundness. I have a great farrier and generally, they can eyeball the correct exterior angles, however, specifically for this reason, I Xray my horse’s feet yearly—sometimes twice yearly to make sure, depending on the horse. I’ve had horses where one would swear the Palmar is in positive territory, only for the Xrays to show they are slightly negative. It’s hugely important—especially for OTTBs.

Super read.

Super read.

Like his mentor, Klaus Balkenhol, Stefan Wolff is absolutely determined that the horse is thoroughly relaxed and through:

“Horses react to riders more than we think. They feel when the rider gets stiff and hesitant up there. The horse’s body always follows the rider, and when the rider gets stiff, that’s when the body of the horse also gets stiff and we end up in holding, pulling…”

Tommy and Charlotte have been graciously given the lease on a lovely teenaged WB mare named Talullah, whose former career was a jumper. And so we begin the journey of teaching her to accept lateral flexion in her body and to follow the hand as Tommy tries very hard to do that with his own forward hands— not easy when you don’t have very long arms! Today we focused on helping Tallulah relax as she accepted Tommy’s legs, taking our time at the walk and leg gilding shallow steps, both off the rail and then back onto the rail to help loosen her shoulders and rib cage. Once we had her softly and reliably connected into the outside rein, Tommy picked up the trot and did a very nice job with her. It can take months and months to get to know a new horse— even a year— And how nice for Tallulah to know that she has this home in which she will not be rushed. The trot work is in the comments. Good job on your first ride, Tommy! The future is bright!

Good job, Janice! Mattie had a few days off, as did Janice, and still a nice breakthrough in learning to ride with a ‘forward thinking’ hand that doesn’t restrict Mattie’s neck/shoulders or balance. A difficult thing to learn, especially when your horse is enjoying ‘Bucktober!’ 😂

A little announcement… As many of you know, I returned to France a couple of weeks ago to the same barn from which Damon was purchased. The experience that I had then assured me that that is where I would look in the future. Jean and Charlotte Chalvignac Vesin are extremely successful GP trainers and competitors. They produce horse after horse to top level in the sport along with several national titles. Most importantly they produce happy horses. Horses correctly trained, and living in a natural, relaxed environment. No stress. No ‘dressage factory’ atmosphere. Like many of you, I did not have the budget for a top FEI horse. I did not even have the budget for a slightly older horse with a clean change. I had a budget for a tall, sound, youngster with correct gaits. That’s it. Jean found me the horse of my dreams. He knows everybody and he knows where to find you a horse if it’s not in his stable. He even has access to Spanish horses. I cannot recommend the Vesins highly enough for an honest, relaxed, fun and professional experience. Yes, Americans flock to Germany and Holland to look. I urge you to visit France first— especially the Vesins. And so, here is Zalazar: 4 yr old 18h gelding by Blue Hors Zackery. Hopefully he’ll ship over by the end of the month. I’m incredibly grateful to have this opportunity to begin one more journey with a horse of my own, and to share this happiness with you all means the world.

Ta-daaa!
