25.01.2022 - Quand mon instructeur me répète:Redresse tes épaules et ouvre ta poitrine !" Il ne m'apprend pas seulement à avoir une bonne position. Il m'apprend que dan...s la vie il faut toujours marcher droit et affronter les problèmes la tête haute. - Quand mon instructeur me demande de descendre mes jambes et de les garder bien près du cheval, il m'apprend que dans la vie on n'admet pas de distractions et qu'il suffit de peu pour dévier de son chemin. - Quand mon instructeur me ditTrop de mains, ne t'accroche pas aux rênes !" Il m'apprend à donner et non à prendre, dans le plus grand respect des autres. - Quand il fait la grosse voix et qu'il me répète à l'infini : Regarde vers l'avant dans la direction où tu veux aller !" Il m'apprend l'importance de se fixer des objectifs et de ne jamais les perdre de vue pour les réaliser. - Quand je demande de passer à l'allure ou au mouvement supérieure et que mon instructeur dit que je ne suis pas prêt, il m'apprend que dans la vie il faut toujours respecter son rythme et ne jamais brûler les étapes. - Quand je tombe et que je remonte, j'apprends qu'il y a toujours des revers, des moments où on s'emballe, mais l'important c'est de se relever plus déterminé qu'avant. - Si je retiens mon souffle pendant une reprise et qu'il me dit en plaisantant respire ! Tu es violet !"Je comprends qu'il faut laisser couler les émotions pour s'en débarrasser. - Quand à la fin du cours je suis content du travail accompli et que mon instructeur me ditBravo, remercie ton professeur je sais qu'il ne fait pas référence à lui même mais à mon cheval. - Maintenant vous, vous qui regardez passer un cavalier en selle, continuez à dire que l'équitation n'est pas un sport car c'est le cheval qui fait tout. Je suis d'accord avec vous. - L ' équitation n'est pas un sport. C 'est une grande leçon de vie. Traduction libre d'un texte de Maria Grazia Pispico

19.01.2022 My heart horse was my darling Albie. He taught me to ride, not sit in the saddle and look pretty.

09.01.2022 I see countless numbers of riders and trainers who use various leverage devices to make a horse put its head in a certain place, by employing more force than th...e horse can withstand. Whether draw reins, tight side reins, various bitting rigs, strong bits, specifically designed to create pain, all of which are predicated on some degree of obtaining submission through coercion. But I have also watched some of the truly great riders, those who have a combination of a deep, supple seat, combined with a subtle, feeling set of hands, and they NEVER need those things---Never, not ever. And the people who do use them will have 101 reasons why its OK, but the real reason is that they use force when they lack the skill to get it done without force. This post may annoy some----But if you are one of those annoyed, I would urge you to spend time with better riders, and learn how they do it-----

03.01.2022 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

02.01.2022 It has been a big few weeks at TMP Equestrian with riders out and about at Pony Club and Cobram show. It is fantastic to see how much the confidence has improved with this duo.
