Squares...in the horse world we ride a lot of circles. In riding circles we find our horses falling to the inside or outside or falling on their forehandโ€™s, not maintaining gait etc. Those issues come from lack of balance.

Think about riding straight lines and square turns. Start riding with more outside or bridle rein to help balance the horse and use less direct, pulling, gee haw rein. Use your bridle rein to not only push your horse but think about using your bridle rein to rock the weight over the haunches, lightening the front end so you can ride a square turn.

When youโ€™re good at long straight lines and turning corners shorten your lines, ride an octagon then when thatโ€™s good you ride a circle but itโ€™s a series of short balanced straight lines and corner turns. All coming from the bridle rein and your body.
In this world of circles be a straight square.

Ok H/J industry โ€ฆwe need to pay attentionโ€ฆ the NFL is calling for artificial turf to be removed in all stadiums โ€ฆWHY? Because injuries on AT are 65% higher and more catastrophic than seen on GRASS!

We put these artificial surfaces in because we are not willing to do the work to keep grass or in our case - drag daily or even more often - our natural sand rings. Vets, farriers and the equine insurance industry have all stated that these artificial footings are causing a rise in micro tears within the hoof capsule, side bone injuries, suspensory issues and shoulder/back and stifle injuries.

A horseโ€™s hoof is meant to SCOOP dirt and fling it so it gives โ€ฆ.these new ring additives do not allow this to happen so the force of landing and cantering across these footings is then moved into the horse - ever notice there are NO divots? Or not as much dirt to clean off your horses belly?

Also โ€ฆ because we think these footings are superior we do not drag as often nor water enough - so the footing gets thick, gummy and gooey - you can feel the sludgy texture when you walk across the schooling area โ€ฆ

We have seen racetracks starting to study the increase in fractures and career ending catastrophic injuries in race horses on these same artificial products

We have seen increases in cases of bacterial infections such as scratches - does this fabric additive hold bacteria??

Did you know that if you sell your equine property your new fangled ring footing is considered hazardous waste? It cannot be disposed or removed without special handling as other equine properties disappear into development some have been sued by the new owner when it costs thousands to clear this material away

We have seen more tragic injuries from even simple falls because of horses tripping in the sludge or the impact of a fall not being as absorbed by a naturally giving material

Something we need to pay attention to - yet - we keep seeing more and more of it even though a lot of horseman and well qualified people are seeing huge issues โ€ฆWHY?

We are fooling ourselves into thinking any footing can be low maintenance - footing is crucial and whether itโ€™s protecting and seeding your grass field and rolling out divots or dragging your 131 screenings while keeping it watered properly โ€ฆ even the new footings require manure to be removed and must be watered and dragged properly to be cared for

This is just my opinion and I am sure many will disagree with me โ€ฆbutโ€ฆ. I think we should all pay attention
