Real human, real horse, real life!
Welcome back or welcome if ur just joining me and Fergus we are getting fit for the Hunter trails next year and I am sharing my journey with Fergus to become our fit selves 😂
Today I'm talking about the exercise I do at the start of the ride in walk for 10mins at least.
Eireann also joined us for our exercises and ride out today!
Great for coordination and loosening up for the rest of the ride, it also helps us riders loosen our hips and heat up our muscles in preparation for our ride.
Drop a follow to join our journey!!

Join me and Fergus on our journey back to riding and trying our best to do it the right way for him😂

I will be posting videos on what I have done with him and massaging him once a week as if he was a clients horse!
I really want to show what some direction and how massage really supports the right growth in the horse!
While adding exercises that are proven to work for the longevity of the horse and their joints.
I am more of a jumping rider myself so this is to really get me to do it myself also 😂
I'm a real person with real money and a real normal horse, nothing special and only hard work and love to help us get fit enough for Hunter trails next year 🤞
I have never ridden in one and neither has Fergus but we love our xc and want to give it our best try!
And I hopefully want to bring some different ways of looking at the horse from a normal person's perspective!

IT'S FAT SEASON!!
The Season of fat when all the horses put extra away for the winter months when in the wild there would have been less food.
Lucky for our horses they always have food but the normal fat stores are not good for riding and especially jumping.
The extra weight doesn't help our furry friends joints and bones especially when you even add more weight of a rider.

Now how do we help our horses stay fit or burn extra calories in the fattening season.
Sadly what most of us will think is boring is what is necessary which is flat work💥 or hacking with a lot of trotting and a little canter, this is all to get the blood pumping and the heart working!
Doing this on hard and soft ground is ideal but we work with what we have but softer ground would make it easier to canter more and not effect the joints of the horse.

The pic below is my big man all fat from time off for the summer and I'm going to be riding him at least twice a week in a cardio and extremely light jumping if any.
Ideally I would ride more but I am too busy getting ready for my exam!!

ARE WE OVERWORKING OUR HORSES?

Just because a horse can keep going doesn’t mean they should.
⁠
Elite horses are masters of compensation — they’ll push through fatigue, hide discomfort, and keep performing long after their bodies start showing signs of strain.
⁠
But as Dr. Kevin Haussler reminds us, this comes at a cost: repetitive microtrauma.

Microtrauma refers to tiny, often invisible tears in muscle, tendon, or bone tissue caused by repeated stress or overuse.
⁠
These injuries may not cause immediate lameness, but over time they weaken the structures that keep horses sound, setting the stage for more serious breakdowns.

It’s time to rethink what fit really means, whether our training programmes optimally serve our horses for the work they do and if performance is truly the best indicator of soundness.

Hate to say it but did my last session for my case studies with the sas queen muffin!! So sad as it was so funny to see her little trot beside me and spend some lip up smiles! Tbh I didn't know how she would take the massage but she was so understanding and tolerant of my nonsense 😂 A massive thanks to Sabrina for letting me massage her and write in for my case studies ❤️❤️ Always here to help if muffin needs anything at all!!

Happy smiles and boops for the gorgeous muffin yesterday and her session, happy and relaxed 😌
Such a lovely girl to work with and amazing to see the changes in her body with what we are working on!!
