25.01.2022 Has becoming a professional riding instructor been easy for you? Now that you are here... what are you going to do to get to the next level?

24.01.2022 Hi everyone, This is the latest information released from EA. Due to stage 4 restrictions, i am not allowed to travel for coaching for the next 6 weeks. ... Please do not hesitate to contact me, if you would like a chat! I am still available to assist with any questions that may arise over this period Im just a phone call away.

23.01.2022 Following consultation with the relevant government agencies, Equestrian Victoria, HRCAV, PCV and RDAV advise that the current restrictions for Stage 4 Metrop...olitan Melbourne and Stage 3 Regional Victoria, will remain in force until the Victorian Roadmap to Reopening commences from 11:59pm 13 September 2020. Read the current restrictions https://www.vic.equestrian.org.au//EQUESTRIAN%20VICTORIA%2 METROPOLITAN MELBOURNE ROADMAP For Metropolitan Melbourne, the First Step Commences at 11:59pm on 13 September 2020. Restrictions for equestrian activity remain the same as currently in place for Stage 4 - Metropolitan Melbourne. Subject to trigger points and public health advice, the government MAY then move Melbourne Metropolitan to the Second Step from 28 September 2020, but ONLY if those trigger points have been met. We are still awaiting clarification of what the impact on equestrians under Step 2, Metropolitan Melbourne may be. When will Metro Melbourne move to the Second Step Metro Melbourne can move to the second step after 28 September 2020 AND when we reach an average daily case rate in metro Melbourne of 30 to 50 cases over a 14 day period with public health advice regarding transmission source.

Restrictions for equestrian activity remain the same as are currently in place for Stage 3 - Regional Victoria. When will Regional Victoria move to the Third Step When specified trigger points and public health conditions are met, then, the Government MAY move Regional Victoria to Step 3. Those trigger points are when: - Daily average number of cases in the last 14 days in Regional Victoria is less than 5 AND - Less than 0 cases in Regional Victoria with an unknown source in the last 14 days. Links: Website: https://www.vic.gov.au/restrictions-roadmap-regional-victor PDF: http://bit.ly/RegionalRoadmap The current provision to care for your horse/s under animal welfare grounds is still in place. This applies to both Metropolitan Melbourne and Regional Victoria. We must all remember that we are in the middle of a global pandemic. Victoria is at the centre of this pandemic in Australia, and how we all behave over the next few weeks determines how successful or otherwise we emerge on the other side. We understand that there will be disappointment and frustration that there is no further relaxation of restrictions at this point, but we will continue to advocate on behalf of the equestrian community. Once we have further information, we will email all members direct. MATTHEW BROWN CEO - Equestrian Victoria

22.01.2022 You may think that youre ready for the fancy warmblood, you may think youre ready for the 16hh+ sports horse. The truth is... The horse you trust will take yo...u further than anything you can imagine. The horses you laugh with will give you their heart. You dont need to lunge before every ride, lead out with a hefty bit, have an extra tack room for all of your gadgets to taste success. Just enjoy it and the rest will come. So to all the owners who dont have recorded breeding, the owners of fluffy feet, to those of you who arent taken seriously in the warm up ring. Keep pushing, your story is so special, and it might be too late before you realise just what you have Be bold, be brave and be bloody brilliant.

22.01.2022 Rein my golden pony!! #wintersunset #horsesofinstagram #horseridingcoach #equestrianlife #equestrianvictoria

07.01.2022 How bit pressure affects the movement of the hindlimb!!! The horses tongue attaches to the Hyoid bone (see photos) The hyoid is Intimately connected to the airw...ays and therefore affects the horses breathing, and is connected to hind limb via fascial. See below Sternohyoideus connects the hyoid to the sternum Omohyoideus connects the hyoid to the inside of the shoulder -Direct connection from the tongue to the sternum and shoulder along the bottom of the horses neck. Tension in the tongue tension in sternum horse cant lift through back to allow for collection- affects hindquarters Small muscles also connect the hyoid bones to the temporomandibular joint (TMJ) and the poll. The TMJ is an important center for nerves that control the horses balance and proprioception. And the pollits ability to bend and flexis of central concern to the dressage rider. Because of the small muscles connecting them, there is a very close relationship (which few riders know about) between the horses tongue, hyoid bones, TMJ, poll, head, and neck. When the horses tongue is free and soft, all of this translates into a horse who is better able to move well, with coordination, improved balance, and a significantly lengthened stride.(L.Tellington- Jones 2013) L.Tellington-Jones (2013) Dressage with Mind, Body & Soul: A 21st-century Approach to the Science and Spirituality of Riding and Horse-and-rider Well-being.Trafalga Square.

07.01.2022 Horse-people mostly think about horses from a humanistic perspective. The use of derogatory terms such as nasty, stubborn or lazy and the emphasis on the ...horses attitude can blur training so that when training doesnt work we excuse ourselves by blaming the horse. Such terms imply the horse is born that way and will never change. While horses vary in their genetic tendencies to behave in particular ways, these characteristics have significant learned components and can, therefore, be unlearned or suppressed, and better still avoided. Humanistic terms disempower us as trainers because they provide no useful answers for retraining the problem or difficult horse. Worse, they lead to beliefs that place unfair expectations on the horse and often create further conflict through punishments and incorrect reinforcement strategies that are beyond the horses mental abilities. More horses would succeed to higher levels and fewer would be wasted if training were more closely aligned with the horses learning capabilities from the start; prevention is always better than cure. Furthermore, learning can be accelerated in all horses to optimal levels when trainers fully understand what they are doing beyond second nature functional abilities. It is every horse-persons responsibility to understand the horse as completely as possible. Evidence-based horse training is our way to protect the welfare of the horse. Deep dive into this matter with our Academic Horse Training book: https://www.esi-education.com/prod/academic-horse-training/ (Excerpt from the Academic Horse Training book, p. 9)
