18.01.2022 "This is why your turn does not come from pulling on the rein. Note the riders hand and leg position and hip angle in each sketch. Note the development of the h...orses muscles in each sketch. Note the shape of the horse in each sketch. A truly supple, truly bent horse is working through their entire body. It is OUR job as the rider to guide the horse to become soft, supple, and through in all movements. Rider one is pulling the nose around, and trying to push the haunches in, with a following outside rein offering the horse no balance, and a hardly supportive inside leg to wrap around. This has created a rigid, stiff horse that will surely be back sore, weak in the hind end, with front end bulk in all the wrong places. This horse has every opportunity, and will likely be so uncomfortable that it will try every time, to run out of his right shoulder. Rider two is pushing the horse from his inside leg to his outside rein. The outside rein is providing a balance point for the horse, allowing him to be both comfortable and willing to carry himself. Because the riders rein is supportive and blocking the shoulder, the horse can not blow out the shoulder, and can only become truly bent along the entire length of the spine. In order to build the athlete you want, and to allow your horse the opportunity to have a long, successful, and most importantly SOUND career, it is important to understand how we ride, even in seemingly simple tasks such as the walk or trotting circles, is effecting each muscle in your horses body. Not all muscle is good muscle!" - Ali Hamann South Coast Sport Horses LLC.

18.01.2022 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. Thats 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."

07.01.2022 Well do I have a story for you! Ps... see comments for videos Two cheeky little rouge ponies escaped their yard today and made their way up to our horses paddock. They scared the pants of the bigger horses and caused a fair amount of kerfuffle . ... Now these little munchkins arent halter broken and dont float load so we had to figure out how to safely get them back to their proper home. We had the idea of having traffic control in front of us (cue Wodonga council rangers ) and behind us with the super star Seby as the lead pony. Our little escapees were very taken with Seby boy and followed him like little legends (until the ran up a driveway and another horsey round up happened). It was a hilarious afternoon with a bunch of legends that made this rescue happen (Kim Day, Jenny Garratt and Loz were awesome) I think I might become a professional pony wrangler, the rangers said they might need to contract Seby and I out in the future What an arvo! Lots of laughs and hearts beating out of our chest.
