Fun in the snow.

Causes me a headache every single year to renew my license. EC likes to changes things up and for sure asks for more money. But finally I'm good till next year. Gold shows here we come to make it worth the investment 😂

31/12/2023

Wishing you all a happy and successful New Year!

I'm a big believer in building trust and it works for me all the time. Just trust no exhaustion or chasing or longing the crap out of them. 4 th time she is on her and we had the first trot.

23/12/2023

From my barn to yours. We wish you a very Merry Christmas 🎄

05/12/2023

1.20m in the tiny indoor. They did awesome 👍

02/12/2023

Free jumping day, first time for Milly ever. From what is that to yeah I can do it .
Thought it might be interesting for some to see now I slowly start her training, how she will develop over time. More videos in comments no idea why I can't post just more than one directly.

27/10/2023

Winter is here , so I will set up chute jumps/ gym rows once a week at a Saturday.
Outside horses welcome.

If interested to learn longeing and double longeing winter is the perfect time to do so.
If you just want to spectate I will work mine Tuesdays, your welcome to come and check out the benefit of this kind of training.

Otherwise private lessons Mo-Fr between 9 a.m. and 6 p.m.
Weekends 9 a.m. - noon

Wednesday jumping lessons come half an hour before lesson to help set up the course.

I hope to see some of you continue training in winter 🥶❄️😂

26/10/2023

It's that time of the year already. Not to myself, don't forget to dress accordingly to the job 🙈 winter breeches aren't suitable

18/10/2023

That's a wrap, last jump the outdoor season 😭
We had a beautiful successful summer with lots of new experiences.
My jumpers are looking forward to the winter dressage boot camp 🤣
Just kidding they know how important solid dressage is for jumping.
But I bet I hear some swear words soon 😅

13/10/2023

Haha, guilty. I know a couple like that 😜

Jen and Simon had some fall fun practicing natural fences and a really skinny one

04/10/2023

Worth reading, I had a lot of those and learned a lot from those, thinking outside the box ♥️

Today nobody would think that Sven ( Ian was ready to give up on him) and Simon ( Jen thought they never would be a team) fall right into this category.

“I hope that all equestrians will find themselves so lucky one day to discover the truly difficult horse. ( the so called difficult horse but 99% just a very honest horse not hiding if something isn't right)

The horse who demands such fair and respectful treatment that their refusal to put up with unfairness initially takes you aback, leaving you unsure of how to respond to them in training. Leaving you questioning everything you knew.

The horse who forces you to reflect on your training toolbox and to consider why resorting to physical punishment as a go to for unwanted behaviour may not be the best method of problem solving.

The horse who, ultimately, results in such a systemic change in you as a horse person that every horse you touch afterwards is better for it.

Sometimes, we just need a truly difficult horse to force us to reflect on our areas of weakness and reawaken why we got into horses in the first place.

This type of horse is one who refuses to give in to unfair treatment. They will demand from you kindness, fair work hours, transparency and respect. They want to know what is in it for them. Such demands can be exceedingly uncomfortable initially.

Many horse people may react to these types of horses with anger and choose to blame the horse for being too naughty, too stupid or too disrespectful. Doing so is taking the easy way out and lacks accountability.

For those who are ready to commit to self betterment, though, they will respond to these horses with curiosity and start to look inward and adapt to reach this horse and help them succeed. Even if they aren’t able to have this response initially, they will eventually get there.

And thus begins the journey that will change your perception of horses as you know it. It will help you adapt your training in a way that allows for you to work with all types of horses. You will learn important deescalation tactics and realize that explosive stress responses are often created from human intervention, not the fault of the horse.

These horses teach us traits that make us better people as a whole and they are ones that we will always remember and hold dear, no matter how much grief and frustration they initially may cause us.

I am so incredibly thankful for these horses. For without their demands, without their strength of spirit; I would likely have continued to enable myself in lacking flexibility in training, in engaging in lazy training methods that come at the expense of the horse.

Their strong wills and clear communication were the catalyst to a necessary change within.

So, thank you to the difficult horses. The horses who demand more from us and don’t succumb to poor treatment, even if it initially results in unfair treatment to them. They keep on demanding, they keep on communicating, until they are finally heard.

These are the horses that ignite the change in the very fabric of horsemanship. Even amongst the horse people who initially try to ignore them.

Thank them for their difficulty.”

Getting ready for winter. Dust/ freeze control is in. If you want to stay fit this winter, renting without lesson possible, too.

04/09/2023

Awesome end of the season, congrats to Ian/Sven 2.3 hunter and Jen/ Simon in the young horse coming home as provincial champions.
The team from Tally Ho worked so hard to make that show possible after the big downpour which came down the day before.
Big thanks to them, it was sure noticed that you went above and beyond to get the footing dry and all riders had a good and safe ground to perform, we can't thank you all enough for your hard work endless hours you put in and the dedication to run this series so we have the possibility to show in our province. Can't wait for next year!!

14/08/2023

We had a wonderful weekend at the Tally Ho show again. Weather was perfect, footing was excellent couldn't be better. Great to see lots of competitors think that was the biggest show so far.
Ian and Sven were rock stars again. We moved them up into the jumper ring on Sunday and Holly crap they won two out of three classes 😀👏
Jen got reserve champion in the .90 and had good rounds in the Meter class.
We can't wait for September which sadly will be the final show this year already.
Summer goes by way to fast.

Things your riding instructor wants you to know:
1. This sport is hard. You don't get to bypass the hard…..every good rider has gone through it. You make progress, then you don't, and then you make progress again. Your riding instructor can coach you through it, but they cannot make it easy.

2. You're going to ride horses you don't want to ride. If you're teachable, you will learn from every horse you ride. Each horse in the barn can teach you if you let them. IF YOU LET THEM. Which leads me to…

3. You MUST be teachable to succeed in this sport. You must be teachable to succeed at anything, but that is another conversation. Being teachable often means going back to basics time and time and time again. If you find basics boring, then your not looking at them as an opportunity to learn. Which brings me to…..

4. This sport is a COMMITMENT. Read that, then read it again. Every sport is a commitment, but in this sport your teammate weighs 1200 lbs and speaks a different language. Good riders don't get good by riding every once in awhile….they improve because they make riding a priority and give themsevles opportunity to practice.

5. EVERY RIDE IS AN OPPORTUNITY. Even the walk ones. Even the hard ones. Every. Single. Ride. Remember when you just wished someone would lead you around on a horse? Find the happiness in just being able to RIDE. If you make every ride about what your AREN'T doing, you take the fun out of the experience for yourself, your horse, and your instructor. Just enjoy the process. Which brings me to...

6. Riding should be fun. It is work. and work isn't always fun.....but if you (or your rider) are consistently choosing other activities or find yourself not looking forward to lessons, it's time to take a break. The horses already know you don't want to be here, and you set yourself up for failure if you are already dreading the lesson before you get here.

7. You'll learn more about horses from the ground than you ever will while riding. That's why ground lessons are important, too. If you're skipping ground lessons (or the part of your lesson that takes place on the ground), you're missing out on the most important parts of the lesson. You spend far more time on the ground with horses than you do in the saddle.

8. Ask questions and communicate. If you're wondering why your coach is having you ride a particular horse or do an exercise, ask them. Then listen to their answer and refer to #3 above.

9. We are human beings. We make decisions (some of them life and death ones) every day. We balance learning for students with workloads for horses and carry the bulk of this business on our shoulders. A little courtesy goes a long way.

Of all the sports your child will try through their school years, riding is one of 3 that they may continue regularly as adults (golf and skiing are the others). People who coach riding spend the better part of their free time and much of their disposable income trying to improve their own riding and caring for the horses who help teach your child. They love this sport and teaching others…..but they all have their limits. Not all good riders are good coaches, but all good coaches will tell you that the process to get good is not an easy one.

*thank you to whoever wrote this! Not my words, but certainly a shared sentiment!

Great weekend again. So much fun this year at Tally Ho

24/06/2023

Das junge Pferd und sein in der Ausbildung junger Pferde eher unerfahrener Reiter.

Das ist eine häufige Konstellation, die uns immer wieder begegnet, meist sind es Reiterinnen. Alle diese Reiter und Reiterinnen wollen immer nur das Beste für Ihr Pferd, davon ist zunächst einmal auszugehen. Aber gut gemeint ist nicht immer auch gut gemacht.
Was sind häufige Kardinalfehler, die diese Reiterinnen im besten Willen machen? (natürlich nicht alle auf einmal, hoffentlich ;-) )

1. Zu wenig vorwärts zu reiten, da man Angst vor der Geschwindigkeit und dem Kontrollverlust hat ist einer der häufigsten Fehler, der dann den Pferden die Gehlust raubt, zu Taktverlust und Verspannungen führt sowie zu vorzeitiger Trageschwäche und deren Folgen. Hierbei geht es NICHT um ein Hetzen in den Gangarten, sondern um ein taktmäßiges frisches Vorwärts im Arbeitstempo und im fleissigen Mittelschritt. Es geht darum, dem jungen Pferd auch die Gehfreude unter dem Reiter in Balance zu vermitteln.

2.Keine ausreichende Vorbereitung an der Longe, vor allem bloß keine Verwendung von Hilfszügeln!
So lernen die jungen Pferde eben NICHT, wie sie den Reiter schadlos tragen können, bevor er aufsitzt. Durch fachgerechtes Longieren erspart man sich und dem Pferd viel Arbeit und Zeit und vor allem viel Frust. Ein Pferd, das gelernt hat, sich an der Longe in Takt, Losgelassenheit, Anlehnung und beginnender Selbsthaltung zu bewegen, wird dies auch unter dem Reiter viel schneller umsetzen können, auch die Stimmkommandos erlernt das junge Pferd, die man dann in den Sattel zunächst mit übernimmt, um die reiterlichen Hilfen zu erklären. Auch dieses Longieren vor allem junger Pferde will und muss erlernt werden!

3. Keine Verbindung zu Pferdemaul aufnehmen und halten. Schlabbernder und springender Zügel mit offener Hand. Viele dieser Reiter haben(oft berechtigte) Sorge, zu viel mit der Hand zu machen, dem Pferd im Maul Schmerz zuzufügen. Sie reiten dann mit offenen Händen und schlabberndem Zügel. Wie soll ein junges Pferd so Vertrauen in die Reiterhand entwickeln? Hierzu muss der Reiter in der Lage sein, bei aufgenommenem Zügel dem Pferdemaul konsequent, weich und ruhig zu folgen. Weder zu ziehen, noch den Zügel springen zu lassen. Hierzu braucht es einen handunabhängigen Sitz und eine sitzunabhängige Hand. Ohne diese Grundvoraussetzung beim Reiter wird es schwer. Der Reiter bietet seine Hand an, das Pferd beginnt die Anlehnung zu suchen, muss sie aber auch finden können! Nur so kann sich eine konstante und angenehme Anlehnung in Takt und Losgelassenheit entwickeln.

4. Reiten des jungen Pferdes wie ein ausgebildetes Pferd. Dies sehen wir bei Reitern, die lange Jahre ein Pferd geritten haben, es auch weit ausgebildet haben, aber eben lang nicht mehr oder nie auf einem jungen Pferd saßen. Sie reiten „automatisch“ mit Hilfen, die das junge Pferd überhaupt noch nicht kennt, sitzen zu früh und zu deutlich ein, verlangen zu früh und zu lang Beizäumung und Aufrichtung.

5. Dauertreiben! Da das Pferd die treibenden Schenkelhilfen noch nicht kennt, verfällt grad der unerfahrene Reiter ins Dauertreiben, was dem Pferd die treibenden Hilfen natürlich erst recht nicht erklärt.

6. Nicht erkennen von beginnenden Problemen. Die können sehr diskret ausfallen und werden oft übersehen: leichtes Klemmen, unruhiger werden in der Anlehnung, Unruhe beim Aufsitzen, Aufrollen im Hals, Verlust von Takt und Gehfreude, immer schiefer werden. Das sind häufige Zeichen, aber auch Unwillen beim Putzen, Gurten oder Satteln und Auftrensen.

7. Entwickeln von Angst und nur noch Arbeit vom Boden aus. Bringt die Ausbildung meist auch nicht mehr wirklich weiter. Ein junges Pferd springt auch mal zur Seite oder stürmt kurz vor, wer hier nicht sattelfest ist und stürzt, der entwickelt schnell Angst vorm eigenen Pferd und auch das junge Pferd erschrickt enorm, wenn es den Reiter „verliert“.

8. Sich nicht trauen, auch mal loszulassen. Kann der Reiter nicht loslassen, wird das Pferd es auch nicht tun.

9. Angst vorm Reiten im Gelände, Draußen , Angst vorm Springen.
…..
…..
Die Liste lässt sich fortsetzen.
Was tun?
Der Reiter muss mit intensiver Unterstützung lernen zu lehren. Das ist etwas ganz anderes, als ein ausgebildetes Pferd zu reiten.
Diese Paare brauchen intensive Betreuung und Unterstützung von Beginn an. Grundvoraussetzungen wie ein ausbalancierter, sattelfester Sitz, Zeit, Geld und eine Portion Mut und auch die entsprechende Infrastruktur wie eine sichere Reitbahn MÜSSEN vorhanden sein! Ist erst einmal Angst im Spiel, dann hilft nur noch längerer Vollberitt durch einen erfahrenen und gelassenen Jungpferdeausbilder und Ausbildung des Reiters auf erfahrenen Lehrpferden in dieser Zeit oder auch der Verkauf des jungen Pferdes, auch das ist keine Schande!
„Zusammen lernen“ gelingt nur mit einem Lehrmeister an der Seite.
Wenn Mensch und Pferd zueinander passen, erst dann ist Reiten auch

im Sinne der Pferde

After hard working weekends we always do a "just go for an half hour walk day" to help his muscles and body not getting sore . Well he is clearly not tired at all 😂 and had fun checking the fence.
P.s. we make sure horses are covered in mosquito spray, kinda sucks if you forget spraying yourself Jen doesn't it? Lol.

11/06/2023

Proud mom, even not everything went completely flawless they rocked it. Team Jen and Simon got reserve champion. It was a super hot weekend with very long courses. Very well organized and tons of fun in the evening with friends. We just love the Tally Ho series. Great people good riding tons of fun.

Be pushable.

If you are an athlete, or heck, even someone with any kind of goal, be pushable.

As a trainer, coachability and humility are two of my favorite traits a student can possess. Pair those with work ethic, and you have an unbeatable mixture for success. But more and more, I’m seeing that those tend to be elusive qualities. There are reasons for this. Entitlement. Helicopter parents. Wanting instant gratification. Or just the classic oldie but goodie: laziness.

I teach riders with all sorts of different goals, and what the goal is does not matter to me. I will do my best to help you win at the horse show, or I will do my best to help you become better with basic horsemanship and equitation so that you can be the safest trail rider on the mountain. However, if you have lofty goals, you better have lofty work ethic.

You need to be pushable.

If a trainer asks for more and is met with resistance, then for what are you even using one? I have witnessed riders flat out ignoring me, not listening until I say it 17 times, “trying” (but not actually), crying, whining, making excuses, blaming the horse… Basically avoiding responsibility for the situation. Growing up taking lessons, I wanted to be pushed. I wanted to grow as a rider. Little did I know then how much that was helping me and my lesson mates grow as a human too.

Riding is scary sometimes. It is hard physically and mentally. It requires discomfort. But being pushable means being comfortable with being uncomfortable. Accepting that growth isn’t comfortable. Stagnation is comfortable.
I have pushed through worry after a bad injury and discomfort which comes with it. I have done the work until I thought my legs might fall off. I have cried, sweated, cursed, and celebrated. I have erased doubt with tiny accumulations of “oh wait, I didn’t die! I DID IT!” moments.

If you are an athlete, be pushable. Be coachable. Dig deep, find your grit, and rally. Talk less. Listen more. Go into challenges instead of avoiding them. Understand it’s a SPORT, meaning your muscles will be tired. Your lungs will feel empty at times. You will be sore. You will grow.

But not unless you are pushable.

One of the most important exercises I let my students do to not relate on the reins for balance. Anne rocked it yesterday for the first time.

14/05/2023

KTS had a great weekend, I'm still pumped. Sven and Ian rocked it like no words. Jen won the young horse class sadly the ribbons didn't arrive soon enough for the show. And placed so awesome that we decided to crank up the height on Sunday. This season will be just awesome with a whole crew hopefully showing.

29/04/2023

I can't be more proud of my student. I'm not an expert in mounted shooting but that's my students first priority. So I tried my best to get them both ready to challenge it. This horse has never experienced anything like that before. He is at a mounted shooting clinic this weekend and send me the video. 😍 So like I always say you have to be a team with your horse and the trust in eachother is the most important tool you have to have no matter what your goals are. That sure proves it, from a bucking uncontrollable little s**t head to that. 💕

Day 307 today. Pretty soon we hopefully can say hello to her second foal. I'm really excited to see if it turns out as good as her first one .
Time to do the guessing game. Enter day, time and gender to win a free riding lesson. If you want to enter color and markings and get those right there will be another surprise gift.

They are getting there. 😁 If control and rhythm is there one meter looks easy peasy 💪

If you can do it in the small arena you can easily do it in the big. Some gymnastic , control and rhythm work.
