23.01.2022 http:// Friday Fact - Basic in-hand responses // Even before you get on the horse there are a couple of basic things in hand that you need to establish that will mak...e your life easier and the horse much calmer. It is important that you can give 'stop' and 'go' signals in-hand from light aids. Everyone will say all horses can do that, it is just leading. It's not about leading, it is about being able to move backwards and forwards with just a light rein aid when you are standing still. Because when you are walking, the horse copies you and that is not necessarily being under the control of an aid. It is important that the horse understands these aids and is not just following, as then there is confusion when you tie the horse up and walk away and he can't follow. By doing that we are teaching them that humans are ambiguous animals that you can't really rely on. Teaching the horse to step back is important because the muscles for stepping back are the same muscles the horse uses in the chest for downward transitions. You are training the horse to have a good deceleration as well as acceleration. Finally, teaching them to park, where they stay still even if you move away is important. It will make a great difference to you training under saddle if you have established these important basics before you get on.

23.01.2022 Bullengarook PC Members heading out on the weekend. Jemma Murray and her pony Karlana Bespoken Kevin head out to their first CT ever at Ballarat, coming a very respectable 10th after a clear round in the Show Jumping. Invaluable experience gathered and ready for the next one!! Marnie Jackson header out with her pony Karlana Ima Koolkat to contest the Spring Hunter Trials at Werribee as well as the EV Spring Dressage comp, a clear and quick round for the Hunter Trials and ...a 9th in Dressage in a big field of Dressage Riders. Clara Greenwood also headed out to Spring Hunter Trials in the Sunday, it was a tough 65 course with many many riders pulling up at the 3rd Jump, well done Clara for getting out and about We are so lucky to have amazing coaches that prepare our riders to take on the comps, a huge thanks to Richelle Thompson, Claire Thomas, Meg Rac and Asher Jackson for their dedication to our amazing little club!!

05.01.2022 This situation is very real, there are a lot of ponies missing, if you know of anyone who has a little pony that may match this description, I know that the former owner just wants to know she is ok!! Pass this around to all of your friends who have ponies, hopefully Meg can be found.

02.01.2022 Keep 16 August 2020 pencilled into your equine diaries! Bullengarook Pony Club still intends to hold an event this year, however due to covid19 restrictions we can’t confirm exactly what it’s going to look like! Maybe showjumping, maybe Combined Training.......

02.01.2022 We have cancelled plans to run an event mid August this year. Sadly it’s just too hard in the current climate.
