Training Tip 🤌🏻

Polework is beneficial for all horses, regardless of age, ability, or discipline:

🦄 Improves balance: Polework helps horses maintain balance and improve their footwork.

🦄 Strengthens muscles: Polework can help tone muscles and increase strength.

🦄 Improves flexibility: Polework can help keep horses flexible and encourage them to step under with their hind legs more.

🦄 Improves core stability: Polework can help develop a horse's core stability.

🦄 Improves agility: Polework can help encourage horses to be more agile.

🦄 Improves straightness: Polework can help promote straightness for horses that tend to be crooked in their body.

🦄 Improves harmony with handler: In-hand polework can help improve the harmony between the horse and its rider.

🦄 Reduces stress on joints and limbs: In-hand polework can reduce stress on a horse's joints and limbs because it doesn't add the weight of a rider.

Some polework exercises include:
🐴 Poles in walk: Set up six poles in a straight line and raise each pole on one side.

🐴 The double fan: Create a double fan pattern by laying poles at a canter distance apart on one side and a trotting distance apart on the other side.

When setting up a row of ground poles, space them about 2.5 feet apart for walking, 4 feet apart for trotting, and 9-11 feet apart for cantering.

Use PolyJumps poles, pole pods, cavalettis and more to help with your exercises. Code JKE5 will save you money on your order and you can also customise any colour you fancy. Remember we hold regular pole clinics here too. 🙌🏼

"Stop whipping your barrel horses..

Barrel racers who whip your horses between the barrels or on the way out, STOP doing it. What you don't understand is that when you whip it, you are actually slowing it down - it will try to tuck its butt to keep from being whipped the same as you would do ( Yes, it's been proven ).
Furthermore, all of your whipping and moving around affects your horse's motion and momentum which slows it down even more. So, learn to ride your horse in a balanced manner and "stay out of its way" so that it can run its best. Think of racehorses: they run the entire track and may only get whipped a few strides the entire race because the jockey stays out of the way and lets the horse run.
So, as for your horse, stop whipping it to make it run faster. If he loves his job, he's probably running as fast as he can already ❤️"
