How healthy is your horse's coat? Remember, it comes from inside out. How healthy is his gut? Winter or summer coat, whether it's dusty or dirty, rugged or unrugged.. It should shine!

P.s. Biscuit is dirty, unwashed, pulled out from the paddock and brushed. Not even a curry comb 😂

What products do you use?

Hygain Zero and Digest & Protect

Equimin, CEN Oil and Lucerne

Time to think about whether you want to clip your horse. Which clip to use? How healthy do you think his coat is underneath?

Appreciate your trainer.

They spend way more hours at work than you could even imagine. They are here six if not seven days a week every week. They work holidays. They work weekends. And just because their office is outside and they get to be surrounded by beautiful animals the whole time does not mean they aren’t working. The barn to you is your sanctuary. It’s your escape. It’s your place to vent. Your place to relax. Your place to unwind. That is not what the barn is to them. While they have moments of serenity when everything is quiet, this is still their job. they are still on the clock. They still need to be on their game. Always.

Their job is not just riding. They deal with all of you every day. Long before and long after they have come and gone from the barn. During dinners. During drinks with friends. During family time. On days off. They are here for you.

They care. They care more than you could ever know. Each and every horse is a part of their soul. They know their mannerisms. They meticulously watch their weight, their movement, monitor what they eat and how much of it, how much they work, whether they are happy doing their job, and how to make them go in a way that pleases you without jeopardizing them. They stay up late with them if they are sick. They write down every time they batted an eyelash wrong. And they remember what they need when.

They take pride in them going well for you. They listen to every flaw you find with them, even if it is in fact your flaw, and try to help them do their job better. When you are unhappy with how they go, they strive to never let it happen again, even if your expectations are unreasonable. They bend over backwards to make your horse perfect, even if what you’re asking for is a horse without spirit, or personality. They stand up for them when they can, trying their best not to make you upset in the process. They are their life’s work, and they know them inside and out.

They listen to you. Whether you are rational or not. They remain calm when you bring the stress of your day job to the barn and take it all out on your horse and on us. They pick up the pieces when you’ve been unforgiving with your horse, who was simply surprised by your lack of patience after a long day. They are your rock, your shoulder to cry on, and your horses.

When they go home, they still reply to your texts and your emails and your calls. They are never off the clock. They take in stride as best we can your rants of frustration when your horse or your riding isn’t exactly where you want it to be exactly when you want it. They take the blame. For you. For your horse. For everything.

And yet here they are. Still showing up. Still being here for you. For your horse. No matter how you treat them. Regardless of whether you deserve them. They are here.

Exercising with a low neck : essential prerequisite to the back functioning correctly
By stretching the nuchal and supraspinous ligaments, exercising with a low neck will create a tension in the topline and space out the spinous processes, especially in the thoracic region. With regard to the muscular system, this low attitude, when associated to correct engagement of the hindquarters, reinforces the work of the abdominal muscles and the psoas, which need to counteract the tension in the ligament system of the back. It also promotes stretching, and consequently suppling of the extensor chain muscles. When repeated regularly, this exercise allows the horse’s back to carry the rider’s weight and retain freedom of movement, preventing back pain.

Today in Dumbarton, we worked on willingness of the horse to engage with the owner/handler. To keep their attention & connection with us on the ground and under saddle. Willingness creates a happier & more relaxed partner ❤️

Is Your Horse ACTUALLY Halter Broken?

I have come across a lot of horses that fool you into thinking that they are halter broke because once you put a halter on them they follow you around. Does it actually follow halter pressure?

If a horse is ACTUALLY halter broke they follow the pressure of the halter regardless of where the handler is going.

Have you ever loved food so much, you're literally up to your nostrils in it? 🤣

Do you know what you're feeding them, and why? Or did you just follow what everyone else feeds their horses?

Did you know that the seasons also make a difference to what you may have to feed them?

Some days, when it's too hot for ridden exercise, we take to desensitization! Today's toy: metal cans!
