A great post by Amy Skinner Horsemanship...

"It works every time. I know it does, but there is always the struggle to hone it- to live it, breathe it, be it: rythm, relaxation, connection.
So simple, so profound, and yet, the hardest task I have ever undertaken."

“Ride like you’re on a cloud,” my teacher said. “Each foot step soft!”

It’s getting dark. The highway traffic from behind my arena has picked up, I can barely hear her. A motorcycle backfires.

I’m focusing with every scrap of my ability.

One, two, three, four, one, two, three, four. I almost have it: my gelding softens, his neck comes out of his chest and he breathes.

My daughter comes flying up the hill. “Hi mommy!”

My geldings head pops up, I feel myself tighten. Back to counting.
“Stay with me!” My teacher commands. One, two, three, four.
My beautiful gray is scrambling now, his eye on the little girl leaping off the gate, throwing sand, playing with whips and flags from my corner collection.

Logically, I know rythm focuses and balances the horse. I’ve seen it many times - taught it many times. Mentally, now, i have to fight to stay present. It is a battle.

“Loosen the reins! Loosen the reins!”
How can anyone ever loosen the reins in chaos? I think of my poor students, and suddenly understand their plight.

Breathing, breathing, counting. I drown out the traffic, let go of my surroundings. I hear them, see them, but stay here, stride for stride.

Back to looseness, my gray sneezes.

“Ah! The schwung! He’s swinging his back now!” She exclaims, she waves her arms excitedly

It works every time. I know it does, but there is always the struggle to hone it- to live it, breathe it, be it: rythm, relaxation, connection.

So simple, so profound, and yet, the hardest task I have ever undertaken.

HISA allows a horse to return to racing 14 days after a joint injection - he was broken on the 14th day. An abuse of drug use. A preventable tragedy.

New York Thunder received a joint injection 14 days before his fatal injury last Saturday.

A fantastic interview with trainer Mark Casse on the benefits of synthetic turf. If anyone knows what synthetic can do, it's this guy.

Mark Casse may have made more starts over dirt and synthetic surfaces combined than any other trainer in history-over 5,000 starts on synthetic and 5,000 on dirt in the past 15 years alone. He estimates that he has sent horses out to gallop, breeze, or race over a synthetic surface 150,000 times in....
