⚠️ Use Your Head - Wear A Hat ⚠️

Unpopular opinion maybe 🤷‍♀️

I seem to have had lots of conversations recently, with fellow equestrians, regarding safety around horses & several of them were mainly focused on wearing riding hats; or not wearing them!

As an old instructor of mine once said (well, he actually screamed it across the arena, at a girl that was riding without her hat.)
"I don't give a s**t how good you are, or how good you f****** think you are, accidents happen & if you die because you're just too cool to wear helmet, then you'll die looking like a f****** idiot!"
He then spent the remainder of our lesson, telling us various horror storys, all of which ended in the same way ... "No hat, dead rider!"

I don't allow people to ride horses on my yard without wearing a hat...
🙄 Why not???
1️⃣ My insurance becomes void.
2️⃣ Horses can be unpredictable.
3️⃣ You're not immortal.
4️⃣ Increased risk of head injuries.
5️⃣ Blood stains everything.
6️⃣ My anxiety can't deal with it 😬🤣

Did you know... 🤔
🔹More than 70% of equestrian deaths are caused by head & neck injuries.
🔹Horseback riding is the leading cause of sports-related traumatic brain injuries.

Now I'm not saying I've never hopped on a horse without my hat, to fix something or feel something quickly in the middle of a lesson & when I do I hear that instructors words...
Something to think about before you next get on without a riding hat???

🚛🐎LKS Trailer Training🐎🚛

I was once told that my Busta Boy "will never load onto a trailer!"
Thanks to Laura Kitty Stevens / LKS Horse Transport , a little bit of time & patience, a bucket of yumminess & taking out the shavings (Busta still struggles to deal with colour changing ground in stressful situations 🥰) he now loads pretty much straight away every time!

🐎💚 SPIRIT SESSIONS 💚🐎

Lunging session for Spirit yesterday!
First time using side reins for him, so we kept them fairly loose, whilst encouraging him to stretch longer & lower.

To my surprise, he was a little superstar!
He soon started to actually use his back end, working forwards into the contact, stretching through his back & gradually dropping longer and lower 😊🐴
