A little update for y’all, sorry for being inactive, I haven’t had much to post due to being in Canada.
Ballybaun (pic 1&2) moved from the far field into the foaling field for foal number 3’s arrival (she’s due the 17th of May) - get ready for the foal spam 🙈
BallyGorm (pic 3) is growing everyday and has started being handled and walked on the lead
BallyGemini (pic 4) is maturing in the far field and will hopefully be getting fully broken and riding this summer as she’s finally 3years old!

HORSE'S RESPIRATORY SYSTEM -
DID YOU KNOW THESE TOP 10 FACTS?

1. Horses can only breathe through their nose. During exercise, it becomes twice as difficult for horses to move air into the lungs, with 50% of the total resistance in the upper airway originating in the nasal passages.

2. One Breath = One Stride. At a canter and gallop, horses take one breath perfectly in time with one stride. This is referred to as respiratory-locomotory coupling. Anything that affects the horse’s breathing has the potential to shorten its stride.

3. The amount of air moved in and out of the lungs increases in direct proportion to how fast the horse is running. If a horse runs twice as fast, it must move twice as much air in and out.

4. When horses inhale during exercise, about 90% of the resistance to air movement is in the upper airways: Nostrils, nasal passages, larynx and trachea. The nose is a major contributor to the resistance.

5. Tightening a horse’s girth too much will affect performance, not because of constricting the chest and preventing the lungs from expanding, but because it decreases the effectiveness of the muscles around the front of the chest and shoulder that move the forelegs. More strides result in more breaths.

6. During canter and gallop, horses do not breathe by expanding and contracting their chest. They expand and contract the chest when breathing at rest, when walking and trotting, and when blowing hard after exercise. During a fast canter and gallop, all air movement comes from movement of the legs and diaphragm. The air moves in and out along the lines of a syringe; with the stiff wall of the syringe representing the chest and the plunger the diaphragm.

7. Horses hold their breath over jumps and do not breathe again until they land; then, they begin by exhaling or breathing out.

8. You cannot train the respiratory system of the horse. The amount of air moved in and out by an unfit horse at a fixed speed will be the same as when that horse is fully fit.

9. When galloping, the blood pressure in the blood vessels within the horse’s lungs (referred to as pulmonary blood vessels) is 4-5 times greater than when at rest.

10. Increased pressure puts stress on the very thin walls of the blood vessels and can cause them to rupture. This bleeding, also referred to as exercise induced pulmonary hemorrhage (EIPH), occurs deep within the lung tissues. Horses that bleed rarely show blood at the nostrils.

One of my key principles is that the horse always comes first and for that reason even though I want you to reach your potential we have to put the horses needs first and to do that we have to question our motives, our beliefs and our principles. I have to expose our conscience and to challenge what you’re doing in order to ensure that you are confident and comfortable and that you "walk the talk" in the way that is suitable for your journey and for you following your own path.

I’m not here to make you feel comfortable and nice about what you’re doing just because it’s easy to make money, I’m here to help you truly challenge youself to become congruent in your relationship with equines and if I make you uncomfortable while I’m doing that, then I am not sorry, but you know that you can trust me to help you to reach your potential honestly, ethically and safely rather than just tell you what you want to hear.
come and join a community who put their equines needs at the centre of what they do. https://harts-horsemanship.thinkific.com/bundles/behaviourcommunity

Hey Everyone, Thank you for visiting my page!

I hope you will find it both informative and educational.

As an equestrian of 17 years, I have been involved with many aspects of the sport including riding, training, competition, starting horses, breeding, racing, etc.

As a result, I ventured on a path to owning my own yard and I'm currently breeding and producing my homebred horses.

The purpose of my page is to offer insight into some of the things that I have discovered along the way, the types of things that will make a huge difference but you won't necessarily find in any equine book.

The goal is to offer tips and tricks to help equestrians from all levels in filling a gap somewhere, or learning a how to conquer something they have been working on just by looking at it a different way.
