24.01.2022 I have always loved mares. From my first cheeky little pony. I love their strength, attitude and character. They 100% aren’t always as chilled out as your geldings. They are hard to win over, definitely make you work for a connection/ bond and will always give you their opinion whether it’s wanted or not. ... However - once you have a mare on your side they will do anything for you, It’s an amazing partnership. You don’t dominate them, you talk to them and create a plan together. You listen to their opinions as they know exactly what they want and if you’re lucky enough to be able to understand them, then you as a team are unstoppable. Because once a mare decides what she wants, there is no stopping her. Full Gallop Equestrian is fortune enough to have a number of amazing mares and more being delivered towards the end of the year! ~ Mares aren’t always well liked and for the same reasons strong women aren’t. Opinionated? Those opinions are not without good cause and maybe you can't figure them out or maybe you just don’t like her opinion of you. Change it and she will always be on your side. Stubborn? She just won’t let you bulldoze her. Treat her with respect and her resilience will be an asset to you. Difficult? You just can’t handle her. You don’t have what it takes. Stick with geldings then, and leave the mare for someone who understands her and appreciates the same qualities society has subtlety taught you not to like. Here’s to mares, to strong women, and to those who CAN and DO appreciate them! ~ The Evolving Equestrian Post a picture of you and the mare/mares that have made you not only a better rider but a better person!!

23.01.2022 Select your trainers carefully. Observe how the horses interact with them. Watch how the most decorated horse in the barn is treated. Watch how the least qualit...y horse in the barn is treated. (because EVERY horse deserves to think it’s a champ at the end of the day) Look at the workouts, attitudes and relationships between the trainer and their strongest riders. Look at the workouts, attitudes & relationship between the trainer and their most limited riders. How do they treat their team members? Does their staff like them? Are the other clients happy? What dreams is your trainer chasing? Choose a trainer that lives the values that matter to you. Choose wisely, and trust the process. Not every horse will be a grand champion. Not every lesson horse will be a walk in the park. Not every rider will win the roses. Not every ride will be easy. Not every prospect will work out. The challenges ahead are inevitable. Spend your time and money to be with a team that you believe in, a team that has your best interest at heart and is honest with you as they help you and/or your horse stride towards greatness- whatever it is you define as such. Select your trainers carefully- and give it your best shot. Greatness isn’t common; but it certainly doesn’t occur unless the trainers, clients and horses are all giving it their best shot. *Copied*

22.01.2022 Some information about our newest broodmares and some photos of their previous foals - All three mares are by Grand Prix stallions - California is a 10 year old, stunning grey by Hector IMP. She produces sharp, careful jumpers with endless amounts of talent. ... Muffy is a gorgeous bay who produces horses who can not only move but jump too. With her strong dressage / jumping lines from Monopol and Lander. They’re the ultimate performance horses. Sky was successfully campaigned up to 1.35m before beginning her breeding career. She has produced a number of foals who have sold either overseas or to World Cup riders.

18.01.2022 Why trainers PUSH horses TOO FAST Klaus Balkenhol explains, "Although breeders have created a better horse, the market has created a demand for a stronger, heal...thier, more powerful horse. It's easier to sell a horse that looks like a carefully developed eight-year-old, and not like a three- or four-year-old just beginning his career. If you force it, you can get a three-year-old to physically look like a developed eight-year-old. Too many colts remain stallions which, if approved, promise breeders higher prices as three-year-olds. Now 250 to 300 young stallions are presented each year, when only 40 or 50 will be approved. Few breeders have the sense to geld the yearling stallions and leave them on the pasture to mature naturally. Instead, yearling stallions are brought into a stall, fed too much grain, and at three, look like six- or seven-year-olds. They have muscle mass, but not enough bone structure to support it. They look mature from the outside but aren't . . . and when started to work, degeneration sets in. Competitions also create pressure to push horses too fast as competitions are now scheduled throughout the year without any breaks." Common Mistakes In Pushing Too Fast Tightening the noseband: "A horse resists by sticking out his tongue. Tightening the noseband too much puts pressure on the nose and on the poll. If it is necessary to tighten the noseband very tightly, then something has gone very wrong in the basic training of the horse. The horse cannot be relaxed, the first step on the training scale," warns Klaus. Specializing too early: "Drilling every day in the indoor arena is too intense for the young horse. It's very important, especially in the first two years of training, not to specialize the young horse. Training should include a variety of activities, including trail riding, which is good for the mind as well as building strength with hill work. It should include jumping, either free or low jumps under saddle, including small natural obstacles on the trail, and cavaletti. A variety of work will allow the horse to stay mentally fresh and to enjoy his work. Only when the horse is happy can dressage become art." Not checking tack frequently: "Saddle and tack need to be checked constantly for proper fit and adjusted as the horse's body changes with growth, and as his fitness improves with the training. If the noseband gets too low, for example, and the skin between the noseband and the bit is rubbed and becomes sore, this causes the horse discomfort and loss of relaxation. Regularly check for sharp edges and bit problems in the horse's mouth and teeth." Working too long: "The goal of our training is to build the horse's mind and his muscles. Suppleness and relaxation require adequate muscle strength. strengthening requires both contraction and relaxation. Blood flow and oxygenation occur when the muscle relaxes. If the muscle is kept in a constant state of contraction, it loses power and strength, and actually becomes smaller. Frequent rest periods, especially for a young horse at a free walk on a long rein, are necessary. The rest periods are not for a rider's fatigue, but to allow the horse to stretch and relax his muscles. The rest breaks will give you a completely new horse. This is the systematic gymnasticizing of the horse." Riding when the horseman is tense: "Horses are particularly sensitive to the rider's mood. A rider shouldn't ride if she is under undue stress or doesn't have the time to ride. If the rider has a bad day, give the horse a rest day or go for a relaxing trail ride; don't work in the arena. The horse mirrors the rider's mood." Not praising the horse enough: "The horse must perform from joy, not subservience. Praising a horse frequently with voice, a gentle pat, or relaxing the reins is very important to keep the horse interested and willing. If the horse offers piaffe, for instance, because he's excited, praise him for it. You shouldn't stop the lesson at that point nor make a big deal out of it. If you don't want piaffe, quietly urge him forward into trot, but you should NEVER punish him for offering the piaffe. - Klaus Blakenhol

18.01.2022 Just a boy and his bear

16.01.2022 James’ Fascination aka Chocolate This little girl arrived yesterday from Queensland. Yet she acts like she’s lived here all her life! Never had such a well behaved, sensible baby. From the moment she arrived she’s been an angel. Even stepping in for Vienna in our equine therapy sessions today, as well as having a little ride. ... Very promising future ahead for this one

13.01.2022 Welcoming Bellini’s Girl to the team Bunny is a gorgeous yearling filly by Bellini’s Boy out of HPS Marbelia Thankyou Hayden James for helping us find a Monte filly and Ursula Lang for trusting us with your beautiful girl

12.01.2022 Quint Horta (IMP) 16.3 HH BWP 4 yo stallion ... Quint Horta is bred by Mosito vh Hellehof out of Berenice of colors, who is the granddam of the impressive Irenice Horta who recently became 7th at the World Equestrian Games in Tryon. Quint shows a really nice technique, with huge scope. He is really beautiful horse to look at and for sure one to keep an eye on if you take a closer look to the pedigree. Messi of Colors (BWP approved stallion), Isidoor vd Helle jumped on a 160 level, Erenice Horta 1.60 with Edwina Tops Alexander and le Diamant Horta at the world championships for young horse, those are all closely related to Quint, who showed the same quality as his family. And who knows maybe one day Quint can be sold to Cian O’Conner like his aunt Irenice!
