07.01.2022 Leonie Brammall on frame, and lots more: It’s hard to teach riders not to fiddle with the frame. As humans we are very front-end orientated, our comfort zone i...s what is happening in front of us, while what is happening behind us is 70% of our riding, and only 30% is what is happening in front. Is the horse soft in the mouth? It can be backed off the bit and soft in the mouth, and riders are happy, that doesn’t mean it is working from behind. When is the horse working positively in a biomechanical way through its body, even if it is for a moment behind the vertical that is not necessarily a bad thing, on the vertical can become a bit over-rated.

06.01.2022 The cost of convenience. It's a sad truth that non-fitting saddles are more common than fitting ones. The reason the horse doesn't have a fitted saddle could be... plenty, but the reason we see most is that most people don't know that a saddle actually needs to be fitted, and not just once either. For others, it's a matter of convenience with a "if i can't see damage, it's not there" attitude, typically by people who could not tell if a horse was in pain if it developed the ability to speak and outright told them. This convenience, we'll call it, costs a surprising amount. Let us look at some of the expenses an ill-fitting saddle would create. Non-fitted Saddle - anywhere from $200 to $4000 Extra pads and shims to "make it fit" - $400 Gimmick girths - $200 Misc tack to "help" the saddle - $300 Chiro for a now misaligned and sore horse - $110 per session Massage - $100 per session New non-fitted saddle - $500 - $2000 More pads, risers, etc - $200 More chiro and massage - $400 Vet to diagnose mystery lameness - $200 New non-fitted saddle - $500 - $2000 Injections - $1500 Kissing spine surgery - $2000 Rehabilitation - ?????? Additional therapies - $1000 This doesn't even go into expenses for the rider, including health issues from riding in an improper saddle. Back pain, hip pain, tailbone issues, knee pain, injuries from coming off the horse, etc. Not so convenient. Almost all of these expenses could've been avoided. All it takes is a bit of education for yourself, and a small cost to determine what you need in a saddle as a rider, and what your horse needs in a saddle to be able to move, grow and develop. Extra gadgets, pads and tack aren't required , your horse will not be hindered in his movement or performance, you will not have to stop riding due to mystery lameness issues, your horse will last longer and be healthier, you as a rider will be safer atop a horse who can not only use their body correctly, but move without pain or discomfort as well as be less spooky due to not being in constant flight mode from the pain caused by incorrect tack. A correctly fitted saddle is more than just comfort for your horse, it directly relates to skeletal health, muscular health, psychological health a calmer disposition and just the overall well-being of the animal. Photos show the xray of the horse, and the removal of every other process. A huge thank you to the Helen Davies Equine Research Project for partnering with us, and providing invaluable insight and education to our students.

04.01.2022 Somewhere in the world, the 2028 Olympic champion is a foal out in a field. He’s ewe-necked, sickle-hocked, downhill and shaggy, with a club foot and a chunk of... mane missing, because his buddy chewed it off. Somewhere in the world, there’s a young horse that everyone says is too short to make it big. In three years, he’ll be jumping the standards, but right now he’s fat and short and no one is paying him any mind. Somewhere in the world there’s a 7-year-old who can’t turn right, and a 10-year-old who has not shown the ability to put more than two one-tempis together without losing it, and a 14-year-old who hasn’t yet reached his peak, and all of them will be at the next Olympic Games. Somewhere else in the world, there’s a rider who is thinking of packing it in. Maybe the bills are getting out of control, or she’s killing herself to get enough help in her own riding development because she’s having to spend all her time riding and teaching to make ends meet and change needs to happen, and she’s wondering if it’s worth it. She’s thinking it’s time to just give up and be a local trainer, to shelve her dreams of international competition. And then she’s going to shake off the doubt, double down, and make a team in the next 15 years. Somewhere in the world, one of the next great team riders is 9 years old and couldn’t tell if she was on the right posting diagonal if her life depended on it. Somewhere in the world there’s a future team rider who just got told that she’ll never make it because she’s too chubby, because she’s too short, because she’s too late. There are horses who will cost hundreds of thousands of dollars that will never amount to anything, and there are horses who will be touted as the Next Big Thing only to be never seen or heard from again, and there are horses who will fly under the radar until suddenly they’re setting the world on fire. There are riders who will win Junior and Young Rider competitions only to quit riding completely, riders who will be touted as the Next Big Thing only to get stuck in their comfort zones and never come to fruition, and there are riders who will make their first Olympic team at 50, at 55, at even older than that. And yes, there are the horses that will be brilliant from day one, and there are the riders for whom success both comes early and stays late. But more often than not, history has shown that the unlikely story, the horse who was passed over in favor of his more expensive stablemate, the rider who no one saw coming, is the more likely path to greatness.

01.01.2022 Best shopping day CEN Nutrition

01.01.2022 The purchase of a well bred horse did not sentence another horse to death. The purchase of a well bred horse did not cause an increase in the number of horses i...n the kills pens. Someone wanting a horse with a predictable temperament from healthy lineage did not cause another horse to not get bailed. Someone's meticulous research and support of only the most responsible of breeders is not the problem. It is not what you should be mad at. It is not what you should be pushing the blame onto. As a breeder, I am not the one who brought these horses into the world irresponsibly and dropped them at podunk sales when I was done with them. Responsible breeders are not the ones who consistently feed the flow of horses in to kill pens It is my home, my life, and my choice of what kind of horses or equine crosses to bring into it. Maybe I needed a small cowhorse, a sport horse, or the strong bone of a draft cross. No matter the reason, the choice to support a reputable breeder did not send another horse to the kill pen. A breeder who health tests, studies pedigrees, proves a horse worthy of being bred, and only breeds when doing so is of benefit to the breed or to create a purposeful cross is not contributing to the number of neglected horses. The number of neglected horses in the world is a problem, but it is not a problem exacerbated by reputable and responsible breeders and those who purchase from them. Your neighbor down the street who is breeding unhealth tested, unregistered mares to a 16 year old not halter broke stallion because they "want baby horses" IS contributing to the problem. Your friend who impulse bails low quality and dangerous horses from the kill pen regularly IS contributing to the problem. That guy pumping out mediocre horses as fast as he can IS contributing to the problem. Your relative who just HAS to let their grade horse with poor conformation have one foal so she can experience motherhood or because she’s just so sweet IS contributing to the problem. A reputable breeder offers their lifelong support. A reputable breeder would never allow their horses to end up in a kill pen within their control. A reputable breeder makes it an understood agreement to sell horses they have produced back to them should you find yourself unable of keeping it. It is understandable to be angry about the number of neglected horses in the world, but if you take a deeper look, you will find your anger is misplaced. If you take a deeper look, you will find reputable breeders and those who purchase from them are just as angry, we are just pointing fingers at the right causes. In conclusion, blaming responsible breeders for the amount of kill pen horses is like blaming Harvard graduates for crack babies.
