20.01.2022 Just found this fantastic article and diagram explaining bending and turning and the importance of having the horse connected between your inside leg and outsid...e hand. ‘MORE INSIDE leg!’ or ‘more outside rein’ is a common comment by Trainers and coaches. (I say it all the time ) What does it really mean? It means that your inside leg creates the energy when riding, and your outside rein regulates it. The inside leg, being at the girth, asks the horse to bend around it. Then the outside rein is there to elastically maintain the horse’s shape around the inside leg, by supporting the inside aid so the horse doesn’t move away from the leg. Your inside leg and outside rein should constantly be talking to each other and coordinate. If you were to only use the inside leg for instance, without the support from the outside rein (and leg), the horse would move away from the leg instead of around it, and he would fall out through his outside shoulder. Using the outside rein and leg we can support the outside of the horse. The inside rein is used as a direction by opening the hand to guide the animal to the direction your wanting to go. By turning your body and shoulders your horse will find it easier to turn and bend around the inside leg. Of course, it’s not just the inside leg and outside rein that’s doing all the magic. They are just individual instruments in the orchestra of aids that combined creates the symphony of harmonious riding. But they do play important parts of the beat. If you want to be sure you’re riding on your outside rein: Do a shoulder in, and let go of the inside rein. In walk, trot, and canter. The movement should not be disturbed if you’re coordinating the aids correctly. *correct bend shown on the right of the diagram

14.01.2022 URGENT !! Dear dog loving friends can you please help find someone to give these gorgeous dogs a loving home ? Very sad circumstances as the lady’s husband has... passed & they were his dogs. I believe they’re located in Bairnsdale but the lady is happy to bring them for a meet & greet. Please no judgement it’s just a sad situation. I would take them myself but we are over full at the nut house. These are not my dogs. Thank you IF INTERESTED PLEASE CONTACT THE OWNER. Her name is Ann 0459183835 RE-HOMING MY PUPPIES. Contact Ann please EDDIE: 7 years old male. MAGGIE MAE: 6 years old female. Eddie is a pedigree dog (with papers) and Maggie is his daughter. Forced rehoming due to my downsizing to Melbourne. Will not separate. They are very bonded and would stress if separated. Require space to move, so a farm or larger land holding would be great. They are not suited to a small suburban housing block. . I'm looking for a dog- loving new owner(s). Both very intelligent dogs. Completely house trained. Devoted to each other. Loving, affectionate and fun companions. Real attention and affection seekers. They make the best companions as they love being with you all the time. Suited best to older adults, rather than a family with young children. Maggie Mae was hurt badly when a puppy by a child and is very wary of young children. They love outings and walks and being part of your life. They are very fond of swimming and all outdoor activities. If you are interested please let me know as soon as possible because I have to move mid-January and I'm getting very concerned for them. FURTHER INFORMATION FROM ANN. Eddie and Maggie Mae. They are registered and microchipped. They have been vaccinated and wormed. I will give all their bits and pieces to anyone interested in taking them (harnesses, leads, feed and water bowls and food etc etc to last a while). Eddie had a very big operation on his hind leg earlier in the year (a similar thing to a complete knee reconstruction, but with steel plates and screws etc), and although it's been Vet checked, successful and well healed he still seem to still having a bit of soreness there ... he is so placid and calm he never seems to complain about it though.

04.01.2022 With a huge influx of applications for the 2021 State Camp, selectors had a tough job to decide on just 12 riders per discipline to attend the 28th Annual State... Camp at Sydney International Equestrian Centre in January. With over 130 entries for the camp and only 72 positions available, you can just imagine how difficult it was. Dressage had the highest number of applicants, which is great sign of the strength of the discipline within Pony Club. For those that weren't selected this time around, we hope you try again next year - and also put in your Expression of Interest for the 2021 Nationals (and training clinics) here https://pcansw.org.au//2021-national-championship-team-eois Please find all riders selected for the State Camp 2021 here https://pcansw.org.au//g/78/selection_list_for_website.pdf Half Steps Photography
