25.01.2022 Had an absolute blast teaching all the kids from Zone 8 on the weekend. It’s so rewarding teaching riders that really want to learn. We touched on all things horses from boots, bandages, bits, plaiting, quarter marks, showjumping, course walking, sheath cleaning and how to check vital signs. Look forward to the next clinic already

21.01.2022 To help put the horse in front of your leg in walk... "Imagine that you’re pedaling a bike. Without moving your body left or right, step down to the left each t...ime your horse’s left hind leg leaves the ground and step down to the right each time his right hind leg leaves the ground. When successful, you will be following your horse’s barrel in harmony while feeling anchored to the earth and balanced independently from him. As a result, your horse will balance around you and be in front of your grounded leg." Annie Morris Illustration by Sandy Rabinowitz

19.01.2022 Extra grateful for this soul today. Spent the majority of the day tied to the trailer in the pouring rain while I was assessed on different areas for my @ponyclubaust A certificate. Only for the remainder of the day postponed due to COVID and a sudden lock down in Brisbane. We are now nearly 7 hours into our trip home due to traffic, and he hasn’t made a peep. He doesn’t know about COVID, or why he stood at the trailer in the rain all day, his day started at 4am along ...with mine. We forget how generous and willing these animals are when they don’t understand nor have the ability to reason with why we are doing things. They do not get enough credit for being the saints they are when the vast majority of what we do with them is completely unnatural: Thankyou Thomas #ponyclubqld #ponyclubaustralia #ponyclubproud #thoroughbredsofinstagram #ott #powerfulsphere #widebay #frasercoast #herveybay #coach #hbpc #carratumpark #equestrian #showjumping #kingstonsruralsupplies #teamtuffrock #tuffrockaustralia #thejtaime

18.01.2022 16 useful tips from Ingrid Klimke, but I especially love #5: 1. Quiet with your hand use your fist not your whole arm. 2. Keep your horse out in front of you n...ot underneath you. 3. All fingers have to be closed. 4. Do not give with the outside. The outside always stays. Only the inside gives. 5. Your half halt has to be more interesting than everything around your horse. 6. Put the spur away. 7. Diagonal aids. The outside rein holds and the inside leg pushes to the outside. 8. Supple the ribs. 9. Keep the rhythm with your rising. 10. Take give. Don't hold or pull too long. 11. You are not a passenger. You are responsible for your horses ride. 12. Stretch. And more stretching. It's good for him and he will like it. 13. Active from behind. More active. 14. Canter in the light seat. 15. Hands down, hands down, hands down. 16. Hands together, hands together, hands together

18.01.2022 No lessons this Wed/Thus due to the whole venue being booked. Back to normal next week

18.01.2022 Noah strengthening his lower leg (much to his disgust?) Holding a dressage test under each leg. His leg came loose once and the test fell and scared the shit out of chevy, safe to say our legs stayed on for the remainder of our lesson .

17.01.2022 How many times do I make you all do transitions to get your horses sitting up a bit more and using themselves!! And poles! Here’s the detailed explanation

17.01.2022 Because the best horse deserves the best treatment. Thomas loving his shockwave thanks to Wendy Bannerot!

14.01.2022 WHAT A MOB! So much fun over the weekend teaching the kids from Bororen Pony Club. What a wonderful club full of talented little riders. To finish in the much needed torrential rain was the icing on the cake! See you next year team

14.01.2022 Purchase any horse wormer and go into the draw to win a Portable Hot Water Washer!!! So convenient for shows!!!

13.01.2022 TUFFROCK ORDER! Doing a Tuffrock order guys if anyone wants anything. Bonus items for those that buy in larger quantities (10kg Joint Formulas, 8/10kg Poultice, 4L+ G.I or C+) Any of my regulars that would like products feel free to message me for prices. ... Placing order Wednesday! Just ask if you need any information. All my horses are fed EJF daily, plus those in work get C+ daily as well.

13.01.2022 I will never not share this! MUST READ! Parents, please let your kids read this and then help them understand what it means. "The message for me is that I must train each horse with the kind of pressure in which they can deal with. Each horse has a different tolerance for pressure. Us as riders have to be adaptable to each horse’s ability to deal with pressure. Personally I find that most behavioural problems stem from confusion, discomfort and too much pressure."... Photo is the equine brain in front of the human brain.

13.01.2022 Great night of teaching! Vids to come Noah was the lucky duck who got to ride on the freshly dragged arena.

12.01.2022 Thomas was super at Jump Club today. Looking forward to Spring Champs next week. Dressed head to toe from Kingstons Rural Supplies, powered by Barastoc and TuffRock Australia. Thankyou to everyone from @gympiejumpclub for a great day and super courses. ... #TuffRockAustralia #KingstonsRuralSupplies #Barastoc #showjumping #lifeafterracing #PowerfulSphere See more

12.01.2022 How often do you all clean you gear? Tell me, honestly?! This is how my gear looks every time I get on. My bridle, bit, reins, saddle, girth, and stirrups all get cleaned at the end of EVERY ride! And because my gear is constantly clean and supple it takes less than 10 minutes to clean everything every day. ... Now can you all guess how old my bridle is????? 8 years!! I bought this shockemohle bridle in Aachen in 2012 on the young riders tour and it is used as my home bridle and comp bridle every day for 8 years. Sometimes it will go on 8 different horses in one day. Look after your gear and it will last you forever! Plus the added benefit of looking a lot more professional and your horses being comfortable... because please, no one likes dirty bits. #ponyclub #ponyclubaustralia #ponyclubproud #carratumpark #shockemöhle #bridle #equestrian #pariani #showjumping #love #thoroughbred #dressage See more

11.01.2022 To feel correct contact "Imagine a fishing line. When the horse is behind the hand or empty, the contact feels like the fishing line is just hanging on the... water [image on left], but once you get the horse pushing into the bit, the contact you feel is like a draw on your back, elbows, forearm and handjust like a fish taking the line [image on right]."

11.01.2022 For a solid ten minutes tonight I could of told Noah I would give him a million bucks if he jumped the wave board and he still wouldn’t have done it. So proud of you overcoming your fears mate. You don’t give yourself enough credit! Super riding tonight.

10.01.2022 Hope and legend, being legends. Super upward transition working on not pulling back towards us as we ask for canter, and keeping our outside rein closed to avoid legend drifting out through the shoulder.

09.01.2022 Excited to be holding an introduction to Hacking day with the equestrian team from Aldridge State High School.

As let’s face it, we have all be there and it’s terrifying! Especially when you are just getting started. Looking forward to it! ... #kingstonsruralsupplies #tuffrockaustralia

08.01.2022 Remember when you dreamt of being where you are now? Horses don’t run in our family, for a large part of my childhood we were horse free. I remember getting up every day before the rest of my family so I could watch The Saddle Club (it was always on early - could never understand why?! ) and I would dream about one day owning a horse, or pony, or just being able to ride one. Fast forward a few years, I have Bazz, couldn’t do much, had no idea what we were doing, cried eve...ry time I got on and made mum lead me around. But by this time my dream had changed, now I wished I could canter, one day, just like Stevie and Comanche (Saddle Club). Few more years go by, I’m cantering, jumping probably not much more than a pole on the ground, I am literally the best. I use to think that anyway. In that moment, when I was cantering around (felt like flying), I thought I had made it, I was just as good as every other girl I saw riding their horses. Few more years go by (I’m 12 now, we got Milly pictured below) first competition horse, she was gorgeous, I sucked. I would fall off nearly every round, most times before I even got through the start pegs or if I did make it through the start pegs she’d turf me at jump 1. I remember being absolutely terrified jumping the height I am in the picture, terrified! I looked at all the other kids getting ribbons or rugs or even just clear rounds and wished I was one of them. Most of these kids had been riding twice as long as I had, but to me that didnt matter, in my eyes I should of been doing better than I was. I hated horses and I sucked. (If only I knew then what I know now) Fast forward 10 years, my warm up jumps now would be double this in height and I don’t think twice about it. I am still no where near the rider I aspire to be yet, but I owe everything I currently am to all the wonderful horses I had the privledge of owning as a kid. Don’t forget about the times you dreamt about where you are now. Appreciate where you are now and the people and horses who helped get you there. Never take anything for granted. Riding horses isn’t a right, it’s a priviledge. Set goals, admire other riders, don’t compare - you can’t compare yourself to them, you can be better every day, be dedicated, professional, love you horse, thank him no matter the colour of your ribbon, he doesn’t know whether he came 1st or 30th, he doesn’t know if you knock a rail or a barrel you don’t win, he’s trying his hardest day in and day out because he loves you. Always pat your horse and put him away clean, you owe him that. But most importantly, be a good role model - you never know what young riders are looking up to you and dreaming to be you.

06.01.2022 Had such a fantastic day teaching some show ring tips and tricks with the kids from Aldridge high.

06.01.2022 A week ago Kev was tense, he was constantly behind the vertical and sucking back, and then there were moments where he pulled so hard down to the ground he’d pull you out of the tack. Anything new or something he was cautious about he would jig jog or just resort to trying to buck Laura off. A trot that was either on the bit or in front of the bit was completely impossible, and relax was a word he didn’t know. Whilst there is both respect and trust issues he also no longer ...enjoyed his riding time as it’s stressful, he gets anxious and he has had a few frights. After a few quick rides and lessons LOOK AT THIS HORSE AND RIDER! How happy is Kev, how easy does he look, how comfortable does Laura Westrop look. Baby steps but in the right direction. We will now only focus on letting him be in front of the bridle, in a relaxed manner, with lots of rewards and big fusses for small achievements. Super proud of this achievement and also Laura’s resilience for trying, tolerating and persisting with such a hard horse for such a long time! Don’t for a second undermine your ability kiddo as there were moments I was certain I was going to hit the deck. Can’t wait to see the improvement over the next few months .

06.01.2022 This is a big win for our horses

05.01.2022 Guess which superstar (Thomas) is hitting the XC course again with this superstar coach and one of my all time favourite people. Thomas, Palmer and I - Burpengary Summer School, noms just opened!!! Can’t wait to see you Rebel Morrow

04.01.2022 To prevent your reins from getting too long or too short ... Think of the rein contact as if you were talking to someone at a comfortable distance across a dinn...er table. If you expand the distance and stop talking, the person loses attention and becomes distracted. If you suddenly shorten the distance and talk without a break, the person becomes uncomfortable and claustrophobic. Jane Karol Illustration by Sandy Rabinowitz
