25.01.2022 I have had lots of enquires regarding agistment over the last few weeks. So I thought it best that I post on the page that I am currently full and expected to be until March next year. So sorry to you lovely people looking for agistment, I wish I could help but unable to at this time.

14.01.2022 Clicker Training Dressage Horses Q: Can you train a dressage horse with clicker training? A: Yes! Here is a pic of my warmblood horse Joey who was first in h...is dressage test last weekend with a score of 76.3% Q: You cant click while you are in the competition arena so why would you train with a clicker, wont the horse want to stop and look for food in the test? A: We use the clicker to teach a new behaviour or improve a response. Once the behaviour is established and reliable you can phase the clicker out so you wont need to be clicking while you are in the competition because the horse will have already learned all the behaviours it will need for that event. You should be training a level above what you compete so that when you go out to a competition where there is a lot of distractions the horse will be performing movements and behaviours that have a strong history of reinforcement and the horse is very confident with. You are not allowed to ride with a whip at a national or international dressage event, yet many people use a whip in training to teach the horse to do the movements correctly. Clicker training is a different way of motivating and communicating with the horse using a marker signal and positive reinforcement. We use the clicker in training but by the time we get to the competition arena the training should be already done. Q: I notice you use the clicker and rewards in the warm up arena, why do you do that? A: In the warm up arena I want my horse to be relaxed and confident so I click and mark some movements that the horse is familiar with this helps the horse to focus on me and to relax in the distracting competition environment. In the warm up arena I also like to click and reward a few of the movements that will be in the test. This means the horse will be really confident about the movements in the test since it recently was rewarded for these behaviours. Q: Will the horse try to stop and get a treat during the test? A: No, the clicker trained horse will not try to stop and get a treat during a test because there will be no click during the test. The horse is really confident at the level it is competing at and can do all the movements for a duration anyway. The horse will try really hard with all the movements just in case there is a click. Q: What if someone in the crowd was to click would the horse stop? A: It is a good idea to train your clicker trained horse around other horses that are also clicker trained, this way the horse will learn to tune into you and your click and will tune out the sound of clicks that are for other horses. The horse also reads your posture, energy and intention and these are other signals that tell the horse if the click means they are getting a reward. Clicker training is not only the most ethical training method but it is also the most effective way to teach a horse to be a really motivated, keen participant in the training process. Clicker trained horses are calmer, more focused and try harder than those trained with traditional classical training alone. I have ridden dressage horses with and without a clicker. I find that the horses are much happier when clicker trained and they also try harder. Dressage training is also easier with a clicker because we can communicate with the horse precisely when they get it right. There is no downside to training dressage horses with clicker training, only benefits. It is only a matter of time before clicker training is mainstream in the dressage community.

11.01.2022 THE REAL RULES OF DRESSAGE 1. If you really want to get better at dressage, take it up at an earlier age - and grow an extra 3 inches of leg. 2. A dressage tes...t is a test of your skill against another competitors luck. 3. Dressage is about achieving a harmonious working relationship with your horse, whose only idea of harmony is eating grass in a field with his buddies. 4. If you want to end a drought or dry spell, wear a new jacket and hat to an outdoor arena. 5. Untalented, difficult, aggressive horses have robust health, good hocks and long lives. 6. Talented tractable horses are accident prone and have OCD lesions. 7. You will ride the best test of your entire life just prior to being disqualified for not wearing your gloves. 8. Never keep more than 300 separate thoughts in your head before a test. 9. Never keep less than another 300 separate thoughts in your head during a test. 10. Horses do not improve their paces because you are wearing expensive German breeches. 11. If you chose a disco theme for your dressage to music test then the judge will be more than 90 years of age and Swiss. 12. The less skilled the rider, the more likely they are to share their critique of your test. 13. If you are considering the services of a horse clairvoyant to help you with training then you have reached the point of total desperation - try the German breeches. 14.Your horse has never heard of Podhajsky, let alone read the book. 15. No matter how badly you ride a test, it is always possible to ride a worse one. 16. If it aint broke, try shifting your position and it will be. 17. Judges only suffer from temporary blindness (or kindness) when they are judging someone elses test. 18. If you fall off your horse in the arena you will have paid to have the test videoed. 19. If you are feeling confident before a show then three of the USET dressage team will turn up to give their young horses some "experience." 20. Your horse will perform its best piaffe ever when you ask for extended canter. 22. Since runs of bad competitions come in groups of three, the fourth competition is actually the beginning of the next group of three. 23. No one cheats at dressage because no one has worked out how to do it. 24. It is surprisingly easy to end a test with a perfect square halt once you have scored a four for every other movement. 25. The result of an expensive lesson from a top pro is that you will stop believing in that tiny piece of innate ability that was holding your riding together. 26. Remember when buying a dressage horse advertised as "needs experienced competitive rider" this really means "needs the skills of Isabelle Werth just to stay on board." 27. If you think your test was better than someone elses, it probably wasnt. 28. If you pay 60,000 for an imported WB, you will be beaten in First Level 4 by a Quarter Horse. 29. Clinics given by someone with an interesting accent are not necessarily superior to those given by the homegirl. 30. If you go to the expense of raising an expensive WB foal, he will have a talent for jumping and no walk worth talking about. **Author unknown
