24.01.2022 Training tip: Flapping Elbows! Watching a heap of riders this weekend and noticed a fair bit of flapping elbows in sit trot!!! Why do you think the elbows flapped? Number of reasons..... ... Poor core stability is the main reason. Your elbows should sit in at your body, flexible and loose but close to your sides. They can move forward and back but should never move in and out like a bird flapping it’s wings. Do some core exercises to strengthen your front core and back core. Practise sit trot in short bursts (5/6 strides at a time to start with) then build up... laps and laps of the arena. See more

23.01.2022 Training Tip: Tall horses! A lot of people think they want to ride 17 or 17.2/3hh horses or even taller horses. But in reality, tall horses are hard. Harder to ride (you need long legs -hip to knee or knee to ankle or both), strong core, lengthy torso, xfull size everything from boots to rugs to feed bins, they eat more not to mention a larger float and a bigger car to pull that big horse and float! Be realistic on what you should get!

23.01.2022 XC clinic sat 19 sept STILL ON!!!

23.01.2022 I often get asked about what is the best way to add weight to horses without heating them up. These are the two products we use at the training centre. **Pearl Barley. - cooked ( boil in water till it splits open 2/3hrs) cool and feed 1 cup per day. $2.50 a bag. Will last 1 week with results in 6-7 weeks. **Muscle Max - 15ml per day. $160 a bottle. Results in 4-10 days. Bottle lasts 50/60 days. ... You do the math to see what will work best for your horse and circumstances.

20.01.2022 Training tip: Taking your horse to a event. This is one of the most important times you’ll need to work on. Planning to create the positive environment every single time is paramount. *Pick your venue. Good grounds, safe fencing, even footing, not boggy sand and plenty of places to get on your own. * Don’t take hangers on. You’ll feel like you need to entertain them rather than keeping your mind on your horse. Low key is best. ... * Don’t be in a rush. To compete ( if they are not ready, then they are not ready). *Don’t be in a rush to get there, you’ll make the experience tense for your horse. Plan ahead. Time takes to get there, time it takes to load your stuff up, load your horse up. If your going to be late, so what. Be late! Don’t rush! * Leave the dog at home. See more

17.01.2022 ENGLISH VERSION: It’s been some time but it’s finally done! Here is the graphic to understand the differences between males and females and how that impacts how... we sit in the saddle. It should be noted as it says in the disclaimer that these are only sample body types as for what is considered average conformation. We know we are uncomfortable in certain saddles and in others we aren’t... this might just be why: Saddles were made for men, members of the military, women rode in side saddles. This impacted design for decades and only recently have there been more specific studies regarding these differences. Regarding production we are still quite behind and this not only when recognizing the existence of these differences but properly differentiating between their chatacteristics. Hopefully this graphic can give more insight into why a saddle might be less comfortable for you as a rider. - I would like to thank Jochen Schleese of Saddlefit 4 Life for his studies on the topic which he has made readily available for people to find. I would also like to thank Dr. Deb Bennett for the amazing work done in the years both regarding horse and rider. Knowledge is power! P.S: Please note I am not associated in any way personally or economically to the professionals that the study for this graphic was based on. This is not an advertising poster and these are aspects I have personally verified both in theory and practice on saddles from several brands.

17.01.2022 So we have a few things now booked. Dressage comps, training days and lessons! Plus our own clinics happening!

16.01.2022 Tune into the HORSELAND YOUNG HORSE CHAMPIONSHIP here!

15.01.2022 Exactly what I was saying yesterday!!

14.01.2022 I learnt this many many years ago in my veterinary training and definitely helped me training horses over the past 25yrs.

14.01.2022 Saturday is going to be very wet. Think ahead. Bring rug for your horse, feed, hay, extra water proof jacket for yourself and a dry jumper to wear home in the car. If your sick beforehand please fo not attend. If you arrive and your sick, you will be asked to leave and forgot your spot and receive no refund or roll over to next clinic. Beware!

13.01.2022 Ingrid Klimke talks about dressage real dressage for everyone: If the horse sits on his hindlegs and has the energetic, quality collected canter that I need ...for half pass and pirouettes, it’s good for them. They get stronger behind, they are in better balance and they are much more using their bodies. We are looking for a healthy athlete in the long run, using the exercises I can do in dressage, I can have my horse straight, balanced on both legs, and that means healthy and sound in the long term. This for me, is dressage. https://www.horsemagazine.com//ingrid-klimke-dressage-for/ See more

12.01.2022 DAY THREE HUNDRED-TWENTY-SEVEN PANDEMIC 327.0 FEB 11 2021 For some of us and in my early days this problem was so annoying that when I went to mount my horse ...from a mounting block that would not stand still... I was lectured early on in my formalised training the role of why the horse has to learn to stand still and as a safety requirement. Simply put if your horse walks off while you are in the process of mounting and not yet properly mounted and stable in the saddle or don’t yet have your feet in the stirrups, you are quite vulnerable and might even risk an accident. Most of the horse we worked then would stand for they were worked nearly on a daily basis by me or other then bereider grooms. Mostly they would be moved back into position until the were suitably stable by another groom, which is OK, but for everyone this, not an option as you work by yourself. We used verbal commands followed by the groom helper to keep positioning the horse to where it was possible to mount the horse safely. When we go really busy we would not have the luxury of a helper so we had to devise exercises that would help us and now you to them to standstill for mounting horse safely. We always started with in-hand work such as walk-on, half-halt, full halts and rein back so these exercises helped us have the horse conform to standing still base upon these basic in-hand exercises. In this process, the horse learns quickly to respond to voice commands. To which they learn so much faster than any other aid. They also learned from the ground person responding to their body language, in conjunction with the voice aids. Horse recognise the familiarity, and consistency of the commands and most importantly the intonation, which lowered when good and heightened when an instant or any form admonishment occurs. In addition to the in-hand exercise two exercises, we developed and found very exercise was to use an outstretched arm and the whip on side of the horse to ask for a turn on the forehand. Especially when they were unsettled, basically saying to the horse if you don't stan still we'll keep on with the exercises. Try this with or without a ground person, it is quicker with two persons versus you on your own: 1. At the mounting block, stand to the near side of your horse near the head. 2. With your whip, touch your horse on his haunches to ask them to move away from the aid and the mounting block 3. The do it on the opposite side and turn them back to the mounting block. 4. Do this several times and repeat the exercise of turning back to the mounting block shoe he or she still be distracted when you mount. 5. It is important to ask for just a few steps, not a full-blown turn of the forehand, that can come later when they are comfortable, work on a few good strides only. With this exercise, they soon tire of the, and the soon standstill at the mounting block. In addition, you should achieve an easy turn on the forehand. This type of lateral stretching is helpful for warming up your horse as well as relaxing them and building their muscles. Even though we are using it to develop a more attentive aspect from the horse when mounting, but we have to be mindful that dressage exercises the whole body, so we make sure to do the turn on the forehand on both reins. Everything has to be done as if you are playing, and you must always check that your horse is relaxed and happy in its work, not moving away from your every time you try to mount up. The horses we found were not stressed but worked out that it was less of an issue if the stood still and allowed the riders to mount without moving and walking off. It took a little time for some by-in-large one or two lessons using this methodology worked really well. Of course, when they got it right we made complete fools of ourselves with our praises which they liked, then the balance was turning in the favour standing still through schooling and acknowledgment. Regardless of your horse’s age, learning to stand while mounting is a crucial part in their schooling. When you are consistent with your approach and act clearly and use reward and correction, your horse will learn to stand when you mount, good luck. Gave a great Pandemic Thursday and stay super safe, take lots of care, talk soon... Cheers Trevor The best role you can have in your life is the role of being your authentic self. -- Steven Cuoco

12.01.2022 CHEW ON THIS! Did you know that a horses saliva is key to buffering their highly acidic stomach? Saliva contains bicarbonate, which also helps protect the frag...ile amino acids provided by feed. Saliva is only produced when the horse is chewing, so how much they make, is determined by what goes in their mouth. Hay encourages the most chewing, with 2500 - 3500 chews/kg which can produce 20-30L of saliva in a day. Sweet feeds and grains only take between 350-500 chews/kg, and produce 12-14L of saliva. This is why having adequate hay and forage is important for gut health. Keep the quantity up, but let their body condition dictate the quality of the forage i.e. if they are overweight or have sensitivities, offer less nutritious forage. Whats the take home message? Keeping horses chewing as much as possible on good chewy feeds, keeps the saliva flowing, and their stomachs going! #equinenutrition #guthealth Feed Your Steed

12.01.2022 For the second time in a fortnight this week, our gastroscopy service at EVDS has proved that not every horse with symptoms of gastric ulcers should simply be ...treated without evidence through scoping. This horse an 8 yo stock horse gelding , had a dull rough coat, 9 ribs showing , would seem hungry but then stand for 5 hours without eating grass. He also didnt want to eat his carrots and was girthy. The option to just treat him properly for gastric ulcers was considered and would cost upwards of $600 for 4-8 weeks of treatment. But the better option of scoping him was chosen and revealed that he did not have ANY ulcers - in the pylorus or non glandular stomach - but he had a gastric impaction ! Gastric impaction is diagnosed as a hard ball of feed that should have passed after a suitable period of fasting. This horse had the standard pre-scoping protocol of fasting for 18 hrs and no water for 6 hrs. His stomach should have been close to empty! Gastric impactions can last weeks to months and cause symptoms similar to stomach ulcers. Causative factors include gulping/rushing of feed, feeds that swell, teeth problems, and stalky hay/straw being fed. This horse had 3 of those factors, plus was only been fed once daily in a paddock with little grass. Treatment of these involves administering large volumes of diet coke and water , over several hours to days, and rescoping until the hard ball has dissolved and passed. This horse received 4.75 ltrs of diet coke over 3 tubings and 4 hours and that did the trick. He was scoped again yesterday to check his pylorus and non glandular stomach and all was good. No impaction. The reason diet coke works is that is has a pH of 2.6 from the phosphoric and carbonic acid, so the acid, along with the bubbles, help to penetrate and break up the cellulose fibre impaction. Regular coke has far too much sugar and could cause the horse to get laminitis. There were NO ill effects from the diet coke or the scoping and fasting procedure. Even within a week, this horses coat, body condition and energy levels have improved a lot. He has continued to gain weight and be very healthy in the 3 wks following the treatment.

05.01.2022 Training tip: Mental Health. Sometimes it is good to remove yourself from your daily grind and step sideways and take some time out for yourself. Your mental health is just as important as your horses. This doesnt mean taking your foot off the gas but reflecting on your achievements and celebrating your journey. Which is different to everyone. Horses are great listeners and are amazing at crying cuddles. Spill your guts to them, tell them everything. Trust me, they wont g...et offended by any of it. Dont spare feelings, just let rip. You will feel much better for it, they also keep secrets. Xx See more

01.01.2022 DO YOU HANDLE YOUR HORSE COMPASSIONATELY? How we handle and train our horses is extremely important, not just for our horses welfare but also for the effect th...at it has on our relationship and our safety. Training is essential, it is not a luxury or something to do at the weekend. Horses need to know how to behave around people and be prepared for as many situations as possible. How we train our horses will understandably have a lasting impact on how they feel about us. If you use force or bully your horse to do what you ask they will associate you with the fear or discomfort they feel at the time. This is when relationships start to break down and difficult behaviours begin, and the horse will start to say no. No, they dont want to be caught, no they dont want to be ridden, no they dont want to interact with you. And why should they? Create a good relationship with your horse by ensuring they arent fearful or incapable of performing what you are asking, provide calm equine company, use positive training methods that reward your horse when he does the right thing, stay calm yourself and your horse will learn to trust you. Compassionate handling leads to better welfare and safer horses as well as faster results for horse owners. The Brooke, Action For Working Horses and Donkeys have produced a brilliant evidence-based factsheet with information about why good handling matters. Plus, there are some useful tips for you to handle your horse more compassionately. You can download a copy here: https://www.thebrooke.org//CompassionateEquineHandlingWeb.
