Save this one and look at it often, WE need to encourage ourselves. To much of the ’outside world’ would rather see us fail.

What a fantastic time we had being vendors at the Master of the Horsman event. We met a lot of great people and had great conversations. We tell everyone that we are here to help make your riding experience more enjoyable and safe. Ask us about the Hit-Air Safety Vest, ask us about saddle fittings, ask us about the DP Saddles with the adjustable gullets, ask us about your own tack needing some kind of repairs.

Thanks to Robbie (bronc rider) with the Ranch Rodeo series for asking me to take a look at his saddle. I found a few small concerns and was able to do minor repairs on the spot. He scored an 84 for the night!!

WOW, I’d say that is very eye👀 catching

At the U.S. Dressage Finals in Lexington, Kentucky, there’s a common question bouncing around the rings and barn aisles between the volunteers and competitors: “Have you seen the checkered horse, yet?”

Pole work exercises are commonly used in equine training/rehabilitation programmes to build core strength and improve limb flexion.

Ground/raised poles are thought to be beneficial for:
🐴Training proprioceptive skills
🐴Improving/restoring joint range of motion
🐴Strengthening propulsive muscles
🐴Providing variety within training programmes

This popular* 2-hour webinar will review the literature and present new research related to the use and application of ground and raised poles when walking and trotting.

Great practical information courtesy of the horse doctors at Barrow Veterinary Service:

NORMAL: NOT JUST A SETTING ON THE DRYER!
If your horse seems a little "off," do you know what his "normal" is? One of the best ways you can determine if your horse is ill is to know his normal vitals—temperature, breaths per minute, heart rate, and capillary refill time. If they are outside the normal range, a call to your equine veterinarian is definitely warranted! Any refusal to eat a meal or to get up from a recumbent position is also a clue that you and your equine friend need assistance.

**THURSDAY RESEARCH MEME**

Todays meme relates to the changes in back shape and saddle fit.

The horses back shape (posture) can alter with exercise (if ridden in a correctly fitted saddle), training, seasons etc. Important that the fit of the saddle is checked regularly to reduce the risk of back related dysfunction.

As an example - a saddle that is fitted on day 1, after 90 days of correct training and management (resulting in an improved top line) , will the saddle still be in balance and a optimal fit??

Or a saddle which was “made to measure” for a young horse, will it still fit the same as when the horse has matured??

The horses back is a dynamic platform where it’s movement and shape is influenced by multiple factors. The fit of the saddle must be checked regularly throughout the horses ridden career regardless of what it’s purpose is - hacking or sporting.
