25.01.2022 Another great one from Thelwell - which I am sure many of us know!

24.01.2022 A recent study in the U.K. indicated that over 90% of leisure riding horses had behavioural issues. Researchers said that 78% of these horses were being ridden ...with artificial aids such as martingales, whips, or flash nosebands to control their behaviour. Researchers said that poor riding techniques lead to the development of behavioural problems and/or learned helplessness as the riders continue to increase the intensity of the aids to control the horse. When will it stop? And when will ALL horses get a chance to speak out? See more

20.01.2022 The good ones take time. Watch quietly from the sidelines as those who try to shortcut with bridles, bits and gadgets become unstuck at the first sign of a chal...lenge. Get used to sitting with your head in your hands having to take deep breaths or halting in the middle of the arena to stare at the ceiling for fear that frustration will take the reins and undo everything you’ve worked on. Allow him to question, allow him to protest. You have to be in this together, it has to be a partnership not a dictatorship so he has to know that he has a say and that you are listening. Mutual understanding and respect should be the foundations on which you build. Be prepared to taste your arena surface. Don’t allow others to convince you a more experienced jumper would suit you better or he might never come right. Trust your gut. You saw something in him, so work you ass off to prove it. Do not be swayed by trainers encouraging you to just try the draw reins or the bigger bit. Don’t succumb to the pressure to teach him whose boss. When the clock is ticking, and the stride just isn’t there you have to trust each other, that isn’t going to come from force. Give this horse your heart, I’m not saying he won’t break it because he will, but when the day comes that he accepts you into his, he really will go to the ends of the earth for you. But until then, have tissues and a playlist of sad songs at the ready. And just when you think you can’t take one more ride, when you feel like you’ve given every part of yourself to this and you can’t physically, mentally or emotionally manage anymore. Keep going. Nobody said this was going to be easy...but it might just be worth it, because the most valuable thing you can give a horse is time... ...and the good ones take time.
