So proud of Sue and Strider 👏
They have been working on improving Striders confidence with the Flag for the last few weeks in our lessons.
When “spooky” things are introduced from the beginning in the right way, ways that engage a horses curiosity and progress at your horses pace, confidence only grows! 💪 and then we can avoid the big spooks, bolts and refusals.

Games aren’t just for kids!
Game of “Side Pass the baton!” 😂
Warning, if you come to my clinics, expect fun! 🤩
I’m a huge believer in building confidence through finding the fun with our horses again. 🙌

Cutaneous stimulation -
sensitises dull/sluggish horses.
Targets the thin sheet of cutaneous muscle that lies between the skin and horses big muscles.
To be done before exercise.
I have used the handle end of a hoof pick (NOT the pick end), draw light circles and/or zigzags on the horses skin in an area you want to target (eg sluggish hind legs- target the hind rump. If horse is a little “dead to the leg”, target the horses side of abdomen)
Use a light pressure. Not pushing down into flesh.
This is a quick technique that only needs 30 seconds.

All horses are cool… but can yours play football?
Josie and Strider had a little ball game to play before ridden session this week ⚽️
Moving a ball around a channel of poles.

Mental block over cantering a pole and “wishy washy” canter transitions no more!

This little mare has been on a rehab program for sometime now and slowly has been built up again one step at a time by dedicated owner Lynn and working with myself and other professionals (vet/chiro)
Domino has had a mental block on cantering over a pole and just not enough engagement behind and canter transitions have needed some work to be a little more “on the button”.

Huge progress today for Lynn and Domino 👏 Well done!

From the weekends Obstacle clinic for Caernarfon riding club.
This time we had two gates to practice, a “rope” gate and wooden gate. We also had the bridge, a new rein back variation, control of paces, trot pole fan, corridor, side pass obstacle, log drag, walk poles, ridden L corner, Mail box… so lots to practice. Great to see some new faces enjoying obstacles training aswel!
Well done everyone 👏

Jump in the line, rock your body in time…

Part of our pre-exercise routine to switch on the core and inner stabilising muscles.
Wither and hind quarter rocks.

Wither rocks - mobilising and core strengthening.

Hind quarter rocks - mobilises horse's pelvis, lumbar spine, and SI joint and encourages the horse to shift its weight between its hind limbs. Stimulates the stabilizing muscles deep in the horses groin and core muscles.

Ru is not quite as comfortable, stable or relaxed with the hind quarter rocks as he is with the wither rocks yet but we will persevere as we slowly strengthen those rediculously long hind legs.

He has had a lot of weakness behind due to his conformation (croup high)
