10.01.2022 To help you understand what the horse feels when you sit crookedly in the saddle "Load a wheelbarrow heavily to one side as in the center illustration. Now pu...sh the wheelbarrow, and feel how it pulls to the weighted side and how you are forced to lean in that direction to compensate. That’s how your horse feels when you sit unevenly in the saddle, as shown in the left image. When you sit evenly, the horse will be centered and balanced as shown in the illustration on the right." Sharon Sweet Illustration by Sandy Rabinowitz This Solutions concept is brought to you by Practical Horseman magazine's Summer 2019 issue.

07.01.2022 School holiday fun in full swing

07.01.2022 In 2004 when I was fresh out of school, I went and tried my hand working at a polo club in Richmond, NSW. One of the first horses I had the pleasure of riding was a super little gelding named SPY. He hated being led on sets when being exercised, so we spent a lot of time together in the saddle and was an absolute pleasure with his rocking horse canter. He played polo for many years all over Australia! In 2013, when I started Sydney Trail Riding Centre I said to my old boss, ...when spy is retired, I need him for my beginner clients... a few years later when we moved our Centre to Sydney Polo Club, I finally had the opportunity to purchase this legendary gelding... At the age of 23, we found Spy in his final resting place while on a break in a big grassy paddock in Goulburn. Spy taught countless children to ride, and gave many more the confidence they needed to get riding again. He will be sadly missed by many. RIP OLD BOY Renee xx
