25.01.2022 Introducing TINY TACK! For the little horse lovers in our lives ;) Rope or leather. Any size, many colours to choose from. Thanks to Rhiannon Mills for the photo of her beautiful daughters enjoying an early birthday present for their noble steed!

24.01.2022 It is OK to keep a horse and not ride! There are so many other things you two can do together. Here are just a few... Find your horse’s favorite place t...o be scratched. A lovely way to bond with your horse. Most horses love having their withers scratched but try other places like inside their ears or under their belly. Build a simple horse playground. Playgrounds are a good way to have fun with your horse but they can also really help them be calm around new and different objects. Bake your horse some special treats. Find a treat that your horse really loves. Teach your horse to smile. This simple trick is easy to teach and is a real crowd-pleaser. Record your horse’s vital signs. Knowing what temperature, heart rate, etc is ‘normal’ for your horse, and recording those details, can really help if you ever have to call your veterinarian. Help your horse with an issue eg fear of hosing, spray bottles. Spend some time getting your horse over an issue they may have. Patiently helping them to get used to things that worry them can make life easier and safer for you both. Meditate with your horse. Meditating in the presence of your horse can help you and your horse to really relax and get in tune with one another. Engage your horse’s brain by teaching them to choose different colors. Teach your horse something that will really get him thinking. Like choosing between different colored or shaped objects. Make an edible toy for your horse to play with. Giving your horse a safe toy to play with, that includes treats, can provide lots of entertainment for them. Just relax with your horse. We can sometimes feel like we always have to be doing something with our horses but some time spent just hanging out with your horse can do wonders for your relationship. Try essential oils. There are several essential oils that horses enjoy and are helpful for different issues. Teach your horse to twirl. This simple trick is fun and easy to teach. Get your horse ready for a farrier visit. Spend some time teaching your horse to stand quietly and relaxed when they have their feet picked up or put on a hoof stand. It will make the next farrier visit a lot less stressful for you, your horse, and your farrier. Teach your horse to Spanish Walk. This more advanced trick looks impressive! Teach your horse to pick up their feet by just pointing at them. Make life easier by teaching your horse to pick up their feet easily. Create a puzzle toy for your horse. Make some simple puzzle toys that really engage their brain. Offer your horse some interesting things to smell. Most horses are interested in exploring different smells. Try lots of different ones, such as edible herbs, and see which ones they enjoy sniffing. Have a special ‘Spa Day’. Spoil your horse with a special ‘Spa Day’. Give them a bath, massage, pedicure (hooves), and hairdo. Teach your horse to paint. Artwork created by your horse makes wonderful gifts for family and friends. Observe your horse’s body language. Spending time watching your horse out in their paddock and really noticing the way they use their body, ears and tails can help with your communication. Teach your horse to have perfect food manners. Even if you don’t plan to use treats to train your horse, teaching your horse to have good food manners makes them safer to be around for everyone. Help your horse with another issue eg deworming, giving medications. Giving medications can be a real chore and sometimes almost impossible. Teach your horse to willingly accept medications before you need to give them. Teach your horse to fetch. This is a fun trick but it can also be useful. For example, if you drop something you can just ask your horse to go pick it up and give it to you. Take your horse for short walks and explore. Most horses love to explore. Going for short walks together will increase your horse’s confidence and can be a really good way to improve your bond. Have fun!

18.01.2022 HOW TO Test the SEVERITY of your Horse's BIT Bend your arm to 90 degrees, and put the snaffle or curb on the crook of your elbow. Ask a friend to stand directly... in front of you and to grab both rings or shanks and to simulate the different action on yourself as you will do riding your horse. You could be very surprised!! It hurts!! So imagine what your horse feels on his tongue and bars. Usually that hurts more or less according the perfection of the bit. Nevertheless, you can feel what the horse will feel on the tongue and the bars, if he can relax or not, if he can swallow, etc. Execute this test with various types of bits so you will learn more about the bits you are using. Now you can understand why some riders make a big mistake when their horse has a resistance and go to a more severe bit. So remember to change to a softer mouthpiece when the horse resists the bit. by Miguel Trigo https://madmimi.com/p/8f63a5

12.01.2022 I have known, and PREACHED this ALL my life. Taught to my students too. Finally, someone wrote an article and presented good photos. ORIGINAL POST BY: Runnin...g T Horsemanship, Dana Lovell We are big at teaching the "why" - this was too good not to share. It's the "little" things you do to help your horse that makes them happy and enjoy their time with you. Pulling your saddle pad up into the pommel. It can can take a bit of practice with saddle shifting and pad pulling, but your horse will appreciate it. Without being pulled up, when the saddle is cinched the pad presses down on the withers potentially causing discomfort. With the pad pulled up into the pommel the withers have room to move and there isn't a pressure point. If you aren't already in the habit of doing this the next time you ride put your fingers between the pad and your horses withers while walking or trotting. It's our job to make sure that they can comfortably carry us. This simple shift can help to make that happen.

10.01.2022 A dear friend asked me to share this with animal lovers in NSW.

07.01.2022 What is wrong with this picture? Answer: Nothing! Each winter we get many calls from people concerned after seeing horses with snow on their backs. If you see s...now building up on a horse’s back or rump, you are looking at proof that body heat is not escaping through the hair to melt the snow, and their coat is keeping them properly insulated. Also, the best way for a horse to stay warm is by eating! You can also see in this photo that the horse has access to a shelter, but is choosing to stay out in the snow and eat Photo credit: University of Minnesota

02.01.2022 Western Bridles from $70 reins inc.

01.01.2022 Apparently, we also repair whips! Reattached and re-tipped (after what looked like a bad fight with a lion, or dog, maybe). Hand sewn with tough synthetic fibre, then bound. New leather tip added. Ta dah! The handy Nickers & Knots fairies now repair, embellish and recondition all types of tack and pet supplies - leather, rope, cotton, synthetic, you name it.... In fact, rumour has it there is also a leather stamper around here somewhere, that does numbers, letters & horseshoes ... But it might only work if you believe in fairies.
