Bittersweet day today finishing off some of our NC students who have been with us for two years. It’s also been my last day teaching students with Elaine now that I’m coordinating the courses instead. We’ll still work together, just in a different way but I’ll defo miss days like today. Well done to all of our NC students who are now getting a wee break for the summer. The courses are still continuing at Leys with Elaine after the break. Today our students had to prepare 3 horses for a show and finish off some bandaging assessments. The horses certainly enjoyed a good pampering 🥰

These are great pictures to highlight some red flags of poor posture. I have one that stands camped out as her go to and one that stands camped under. Both have some long standing issues and both are better at the start of their trim cycles (4weekly) and after bodywork. They are both about as good as they can be which takes work to manage their conformation and old injuries. Knowing what is normal and what is workable and what needs attention is really important and different for every horse.

Perfect day for bathing ponies 🥰

I’m fitting in Perth on Monday 29th June if any of my clients are looking for an appointment in the afternoon ☺️

I love these. In hand walking before you mount is always a good idea, especially if your horse has been stabled/ standing still for any length of time.

Kick start your warm up with these 3 easy in-hand exercises before you get on.

🐎 Walk around your arena / schooling area - 2 circuits on each rein
🐎 Walk 3 small circles (10m) on each rein
🐎 Ask your horse to back-up a minimum of 10 steps with his head lowered
