20.01.2022 What are you focusing on now with your horse?

13.01.2022 I'm very sorry to share this unfortunate news, however...

12.01.2022 It’s not just the horses that miss our kids while we’re closed! Our volunteers don’t know what to do without you! I didn’t think it would come to this.

11.01.2022 "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.

10.01.2022 Eager for dinner tonight!

04.01.2022 Sunny day for a little bit of work & play!

02.01.2022 Tanja's Tues Tip Foot position in the stirrup. Have you been told to keep your toes straight?... Do you find that when you do so, it hurts the outside of your ankle? Let’s have a look at it. When you keep your toes straight, not only do you block your hips and close your thighs (we will talk about that some other time) but you also roll your ankle in the process. Rolling your ankle can lead to all sorts of issues, plus it will keep your leg unsteady and flapping. So how do you know when your foot is in the right position? You want to feel the entire ball of your foot across the bar of your stirrup. Keeping your toes straight will automatically lead to the inside of your foot lifting upward and all your weight dropping to the outside ball of your foot. To keep the entire ball of your foot on the bar of your stirrup you need to slightly bring your toes outward. You know that your toes have come out too much, when you feel more weight shifting to the inside of the ball of your foot, and the outside lifting up. So, whenever the entire ball of your foot is across the entire bar of the stirrup you are in the right position. Happy Riding, Tanja xx
