18.01.2022 Recommended Schedules for Equine Massage. There are many horses which display signs of muscle soreness or trauma, a lot that goes unnoticed. Most people forget, your horse is like a human athlete, they come out of there stable or paddock and get a saddle put on, then there expected to train for at least an hour, either trotting and cantering in sand, jumping over poles, running on hard ground or whatever you choose for it that day. Take a think about it how would you feel wit...h a bag of sand strapped to your back, made walk then run over soft sand then hard ground. Maybe jump over a few poles after going in one direction for a while turn and go the other direction. The next day I bet you would be feeling tired and sore; your body aching and wishing you had a day off to rest. Do you book a massage to ease your aching muscles? Horses suffer after exercise just like we do and they benefit from massage just the same as we do. Remember if we expect our horses to be athletes then we have to treat them like athletes, and we owe it to our horse to help them recover properly. As the saying goes prevention is better than cure! If you are competing regularly and riding regular then it is highly recommended your horse get a massage to ensure his muscles stay relaxed and supple, tendons remain elastic and any potential problems are diagnosed and addressed early. Anyone who owns a horse have regular schedules for worming, farriers, vaccinations etc, why not incorporate massage regularly too. Depending on how much work your horse is getting will depend on how frequently he should have a massage. Pleasure riding/ light training several times a week 4-6 weeks Competition (in full training) dressage, show jumping, western etc 2-4 weeks Pony club every weekend throughout the season 2-4 weeks Racehorse racing an average of 2 times per month 1-2 weeks A massage should be booked in for 2-3days after your competition. Pre and post massage treatment is highly recommended, and if possible a few days rest period after hard competition will help your horse if he can move around freely and have a pick of grass.

02.01.2022 Knowing how to communicate with your horse is only half of the equation, the other essential piece is understanding how your horse learns. Have you ever given t...he right cue, but your horse still didn’t respond? If you’ve ever had this happen, then you know that communicating with a horse involves more than just the right position and the right cues To be effective, confident riders, we need to know how horses learn so that we can better communicate what we want them to do. Watch the video below to discover how horses learn and how understanding this can help you decode your horse’s behavior.

02.01.2022 I guide with my HANDS, I ask with my LEGS and I ride with my SEAT! THE CONNECTIONS - Contact is not just about the hands, it is about a horse and rider in un...ison. The rider's hands and reins are connected through the bit to the horse's front legs and the rider's legs are connected to the horse's hind legs. The rider’s pelvis is connected to the horse’s pelvis.
