𝐌𝐚𝐲 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝟒𝐭𝐡 𝐛𝐞 𝐰𝐢𝐭𝐡 𝐲𝐨𝐮!! 𝐅𝐫𝐨𝐦 𝐋𝐞𝐦𝐨𝐧 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐈 🪐✨

I grew up absolutely 𝐋𝐎𝐕𝐈𝐍𝐆 𝐒𝐭𝐚𝐫 𝗪𝐚𝐫𝐬, and honestly? I still do. So obviously I had to celebrate Star Wars Day in the most me way possible… by turning photos of Lemon and I into our own little galaxy far, far away using AI🤎

I’m not sure Lemon fully understands the importance of May the 4th… but I do think he makes a pretty iconic Jedi pony.

So now I need to know…

𝐋𝐞𝐦𝐨𝐧𝐬 𝐒𝐚𝐝𝐝𝐥𝐞 𝐟𝐢𝐭𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠 ~ 𝐒𝐰𝐢𝐩𝐞 𝐭𝐨 𝐬𝐞𝐞 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐝𝐢𝐟𝐟𝐞𝐫𝐞𝐧𝐜𝐞

Lemon had his routine saddle check today, my amazing fitter usually comes out every 6months or so because Lemon is young and still changing and growing

However I felt the balance was off so asked him to come out sooner - and WOW what a difference 😯

My saddle fitter visited us in January/February time for a routine check - 𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘴 𝘪𝘴 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘣𝘳𝘰𝘸𝘯 𝘤𝘶𝘵-𝘰𝘶𝘵 𝘢𝘵 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘣𝘢𝘤𝘬

He was still very rounded and baby shaped with no wither

𝐀𝐟𝐭𝐞𝐫 𝐨𝐧𝐥𝐲 𝟒𝐦𝐨𝐧𝐭𝐡𝐬!! Lemon has had a huge change of shape, growth spurt, and popped up in the wither - This is the white cut-out in front

My saddler complimented him on how mature he is looking, how well rounded his muscle is and how fit he looks!

Onwards and upwards Lem, you’re doing amazing 💛🍋

𝐇𝐨𝐧𝐞𝐬𝐭, 𝐮𝐧𝐜𝐮𝐭 𝐠𝐫𝐨𝐮𝐧𝐝𝐰𝐨𝐫𝐤 𝐬𝐞𝐬𝐬𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐰𝐢𝐭𝐡 𝐋𝐞𝐦𝐨𝐧 💛

No fancy edits or skipping during the unsure moments — just 1 minute of working through something he found genuinely scary

This was a short session with a big flag, focusing on letting him think, breathe, and realise he didn’t need to panic ✨ By the end, he was relaxed enough to let the flag touch him all over

Sessions like this don’t need to be long to be effective 🍋 Sometimes 10 calm, well-timed minutes is more than enough

Proud of my brave young man 💛

𝟏. 𝐑𝐇𝐘𝐓𝐇𝐌 ⁣
Trot work teaches young horses to move in a steady, consistent rhythm without rushing or falling behind the leg • For young horses, rhythm is one of the biggest foundations because it helps everything else become easier — balance, transitions, straightness and confidence⁣
⁣
𝟐. 𝐒𝐓𝐑𝐄𝐍𝐆𝐓𝐇⁣
Good, simple trot work helps develop the muscles over the back, core, hindquarters and shoulders • A young horse is still learning how to carry a rider, so trot work gives them time to build the correct strength slowly without overloading them⁣
⁣
𝟑. 𝐁𝐀𝐋𝐀𝐍𝐂𝐄 & 𝐂𝐎𝐎𝐑𝐃𝐈𝐍𝐀𝐓𝐈𝐎𝐍⁣
Baby horses often feel wobbly, uneven or a bit like they have too many legs • Trot work helps them learn where their feet are, how to stay level through corners, and how to carry themselves without leaning on the hand or rushing forward⁣
⁣
𝟒. 𝐒𝐓𝐑𝐀𝐈𝐆𝐇𝐓𝐍𝐄𝐒𝐒 ⁣
Straightness is not just about going in a straight line — it is about the horse learning to use both sides of the body evenly • Trot work helps you notice if they drift, fall through a shoulder, bend more one way, or push more from one hind leg than the other⁣
⁣
𝟓. 𝐂𝐎𝐌𝐌𝐔𝐍𝐈𝐂𝐀𝐓𝐈𝐎𝐍 𝗪𝐈𝐓𝐇𝐎𝐔𝐓 𝐏𝐑𝐄𝐒𝐒𝐔𝐑𝐄⁣
Simple trot work is brilliant for teaching a young horse to respond to small aids: go forward, come back, turn, soften, rebalance and stay focused • It gives them a job without making the session too complicated, which is exactly what a baby horse needs⁣
