Ryu Equestrian / Sakura Hill Farm Breeding Top Show Jumping Prospects Today, for the Equestrian Sport of Tomorrow. No breeding decision is made lightly. We strive to never stop learning.

We scour the globe, looking for outstanding pedigrees, performance records, approval results, and progeny, learning from our European and American mentors and paying close attention to their advice and taking advantage of their years of experience. We strive for perfection in every cross and all the while anticipate what changes the sport may undergo and what new challenges our foals will face to

be highly competitive international-level athletes when they reach their prime. Jumping talent is purported to be transferred to progeny through the dam, as such we endeavor to consolidate, enhance, and secure that talent through our carefully selected and robust mares whose bloodlines can be found at the top of the WBFSH Show Jumping rankings year after year. Our mare base consists of performance-producing foundation mares (many of whom were competitors themselves) selected with assistance and advisement of renowned breeders in Europe and North America to represent the best of the European bloodlines. Each was scrutinized thoroughly, and chosen in part for their own inherent abilities at the highest level, in addition to their proven sport producing bloodlines. The highly sought-after dam sires, Ahorn, Heartbreaker, Ekstein and Quidam de Revel, as well as the valuable Dutch -niki and -nita mare lines are all well represented in our broodmare herd. Each of our jumper mares has no less than 38% blood to guarantee suitable crosses with today's stallions and the creation of prospects for today’s highest levels of equestrian sport. We continue to broaden our knowledge base, researching the bloodlines at top of the international rankings, tracking their progress, and development, as we seek sires that are consistently producing International offspring. We take note of the European stallion approvals, paying close attention to young stallions as they begin to make their mark in Europe and take care to consider the jury’s commentary. We continually make use of these tools and others to maintain a modern, consistent, and adaptive breeding program that ensures we produce future international level prospects that can handle the demands of the modern competition ring.

Überstreichen:
Translated from the German, über means over, and streichen means to stroke or pet. Put simply, überstreichen is slacking of the reins by moving both hands forward along the horse’s neck for several strides, demonstrating that the horse is in self-carriage. During this release, the tempo, balance and outline of the horse should not change. It can also be a test of diagonal connection – inside leg to outside rein, and bend by just releasing the inside rein for several strides while riding on a curved line, the goal being that the bend and balance remain the same. In both cases the reins are taken softly back up afterward.

Exercise to help a horse that rushes.

When changing direction, do a reverse tear drop to go back toward the fence. Ride him to the fence and make a downward transition as he approaches. After he becomes light in the aids, half halt instead of transition and continue until he is light in his half halt. At this point you can begin introducing short straight lines, come off the rail, go toward the fence, rinse and repeat until you are able to go long stretches without rushing.

Avoid long straight lines for him to gain momentum. Work on getting him stronger in his balance to rock back instead of rush forward. Use the fence as your aid to get him accustomed to your half half cues.

**THURSDAY RESEARCH MEME**

Todays research meme relates to bit fit. A certain brand of bit features an arrow on one side of the bit. It is important for correct bit fit, that the arrow is on the left and pointing forwards. Arrow on the left ensures that the smooth rounded surfaces of the bit are comfortable, and smooth on the bars and palate. If using a bit, important to check it is fitted correctly to ensure optimal intra-oral comfort. 🤓
