🤔 WHY WALK OVER POLES?
🤓 A recent study suggests that walking over poles can be more beneficial than trotting or cantering over them.
This is because in trot, horses can rely of the elasticity of their tendons to do a lot of the work for them.
This natural spring and bounce from the trot helps them lift their legs up over the poles.
But in walk, horses have to use their muscles more to lift their legs over the poles. 💪

🤩 Progress post - Hannahs confidence has come on leaps and bounds recently.
We have been working really hard over the last few months on the lunge to get Hannah more confident cantering Domino.
Now she is more relaxed in canter, her position and effectiveness has really improved... So much that tonight she cantered her wonderful pony Domino completely independently!
Super proud instructor! 🏇

A huge privilege to be trusted to ride Dexter during Rachel's lesson tonight.
As a coach, I'm usually the eyes on the ground, however when I'm given the opportunity to ride a clients horse, it helps to get a feel for the horses way of going, so I can help both horse and rider to keep progressing together! 🏇💕
