We do NOT do trail rides
(3)
Big day today. Moved all the ponies to their new homes for the next 4-6 months. These ponies give their hearts and I absolutely love them all and I’m already missing them. They all have beautiful new addresses with loving caring friends.
Mansfield Riding Centre will still be operating so please pm me for further details.
Just a few pics ….❤️❤️
Please note we do NOT do Trail Rides
LESSONS ONLY
Eye eye!! Anyone know what these are?
To anyone who knows or has ridden this spectacular pony Zara. She is unbelievable.
This was taken 9 years ago. Love her SO much ❤️
Just sharing a great post. We adhere to this all the time.
Run up those irons.
A warning is circulating about an accident where a horse caught his jaw on a stirrup iron while biting at a fly. Sorry, folks, this should be a no-brainer.
Yet, constantly we see pictures of riders of all ages leading horses with the irons down, portraits being taken with stirrups swinging, ditto with horses waiting for classes or being cooled out, even in lessons when riders drop their irons.
I’m old and have no sense of humour about such things. When the foot is not in the stirrup iron, it is either run up, crossed over the horse’s shoulders, or woven up for lungeing. It is never, even for a few minutes, allowed to swing and bang against the side of the horse.
Note that one useful exception to this rule is in teaching a green horse to accept the irons bumping his sides while on the lunge. Better he blows up momentarily in the lunge line, than when we are on him!
Running up one’s irons takes only a moment, shows you care, and shows that you’ve been well taught. It is a shining beacon to younger riders who may look up to you. One small effort will prevent the panicked horse with his bit caught, or the child run over when her stirrup gets caught on a stall door.
Teach your children to run up their irons, first thing when they dismount. There is a reason this has been a safe practice for more than a century!
Speaking of long ago, this is an illustration from my old childhood riding diary on weaving irons up for lungeing. Styles may have changed since the 1970s, the kids more sophisticated, the horses pricier, but ‘safety is safety’ all the same.
