Sun shining for a week according to BOM.

Time to catch up on some overdue tasks with the horses including enjoying my full dam!

Have a great weekend everyone - hope you are ready for some holiday fun with your ponies, good friends and happy family time.

Or like me - solitude, champagne, dogs and horses... and a kanga to do a heap of lantana bashing.

Stay safe all. Still a lot of water out there.

Heres what English dressage should look like. The end...how they leave tells us how this horse is.

More of this plesse dreasage people.

Ps. Commemtary is in German or Dutch. Not sure. Anyhoo. Achtung!

Jagerbomb, a Gelding, was born in 2014 and is the offspring of Dante Weltino. More details, 41 videos and the full pedigree can be found on the profile of Jagerbomb.

Every moment with your horse is valuable. Make it count by being a good custodian to them.

15/12/2024

No dam for Teddy today... so he improvised.

Hope you all had a great weekend. I was supposed to trim the horses but got distracted by mowing.

Enjoy your week and imagine you are this puppy full of happiness playing in green water that stinks.

I like this analogy.

Horse power of both kinds.

Why you need to look after the back end.

https://www.facebook.com/share/p/UhQypwK2De7ipnif/

The biomechanics of the horse follow the same Newtonian laws of motion that everything else does, including cars. Newton’s third law simply states that for every action there is an equal and opposite reaction. Today we see too many riders who are riding in opposition to this law of physics.

To start, all race cars that are not all wheel drive are rear wheel drive because power from the back or hind is more manageable in terms of precision when the power gets turned up. This is also true of expensive sports cars like the Porsche pictured at left.

The left image with the white arrow shows what is called "torque vectoring". The arrow indicates that the power of the car's torque is greatest from the outside rear wheel. It should be obvious that when there is more power from the outside rear wheel that the car will turn as shown more easily and more accurately in the direction of the front inside wheel in the turn.

If instead the power of the car's torque came from the inside rear wheel, this would push the car out away from the direction of the intended turn. The action of outside rear torque vectoring is to create an equal and opposite action, which is to power the car forward to the inside of the turn. This is more stable because it does not fight against Newton's third law of motion.

The exact same process is true in horses. Yet we see many riders trying to make a smooth stable turn by powering from the wrong inside "wheel" in the hind as seen in the left horse image. And then they wonder why their turns are not so good. They need to realize that no one can defy the laws of physics for very long.

You can see in the left horse image that the horse's ability to bend in the turn gets stifled by the push from the inside "rear wheel" left, hind leg. The equal and opposite energy wants to straighten the horse's spine, not bend it in the curve of the turn as the Porsche does with its torque vectoring technology. Plus, this attempt to violate the laws of physics chokes the energy down so that fewer of the horse's muscle groups can get involved in the turn.

By contrast, if we look at the right horse image, we see the rider driving their horse from the outside hind in the left turn. Because this follows the laws of physics, there is no opposition to the horse's energy. More muscle groups are allowed to be applied to the turn and the horse's spine bends more easily due to the complete lack of opposition to the horse's energy. The equal and opposite action of the horse pushing from the outside hind is a smooth solid turn.

Exactly....

Saying that lets not talk about so called 'liberty' that is forced before you see all the cool - LOOK NO HANDS stuff.

Some mornings we can get the chestnut mare vibe thing going on. Today is one of those for me. I get so overwhelmed and pi**ed off with so many bad things sometimes I need to just step back.

Yesterday had some triggers:
Thin horses being ridden with no top line at a trail riding business.
Sad horses being ignored.
Ignorant custodians who refuse to learn because it might mean they are wrong!

It can be sometimes a very down trodden place fighting for better horse care and seeing welfare issues all around on Facebook ;-(

Tomorrow then will be people and Facebook free day with a spot of mowing. Great to have grass though which is a good thing.

Have a great weekend all and reset if you have to. It is what we need to do. The chestnut mare vibe is always only temporary and its good to go back to being a bay gelding again.

PEACE MAN ;-)

Ok I have just seen this on a page and was hoping this might be a good idea. Can anyone see any issues here? I would probably put some drainage holes but the wood might not work hey?

I see these on market place all the time because they are actually really awful pieces of furniture.

Back in the Saddle or Introduction to Horses sessions are back in action for the holidays! If you want a better connection and happier horse then welcome aboard!

HOWEVER - they will not include a ridden component.

Ground work (which is what most call liberty training), obstacles, how to get the most from your connection and anything else you wish to talk about.

It will be about confidence, connection and safety before the saddle.

Sessions are $75 per hour with my horses.

Bookings are by appointment with most sessions on Friday, Saturday or Sunday.

This is the way it will be now as the insurance for trail riding and RIDDEN lessons is not feasible for the moment.

I literally have done this when I forgot my jeans were too big.

Telstra rope...almost as versitile as bailing twine.

I was stewarding at a show. So many people take themselves too seriously.

I thought it was genius....

Some with lovely belts with buckles of gold high point wording on them were not amused.

I am very plessed I am not one of those people.

Have a great day of not taking yourself too seriously.

Constantly having to explain what liberty actually means.

"Liberty training"......is not liberty.

Let me share.... https://www.facebook.com/share/M264zDEAxWeSuUrd/

Again it's a matter of perspectives... What we may describe as beautiful "liberty shows" from our human point of view often has just nothing to do with a real liberty for the horses, who simply remain conditioned by the coercive training they endured and by whatever has been used during it, with this tool being still present or not making no real difference. And in fact it's exactly the same process happening with horses eventually performing any sporting activity by themselves, without the rider too: just a sad mental conditioning to repeat over and over like a robot something they have been "programmed" to do.

REIKI 2nd Degree done and dusted. I connected to a wonderful group of fellow REIKI students. We talked animals and horses a lot!

Now to chat to a couple of people who are keen to do retreats for people who might be interested in:

Confidence.
Connection.
Communication.
Healing.
Horses.

That work for you all? Add anything you think might be needed.

These retreats will be with or without your own horse but will be NON RIDDEN Retreats in the first instance.
Watch this space.

Hope everyone had a great weekend.

Ted has rounded up his ponies..

Never enough new puppy spam....

06/12/2024

Meeting the really big dogs....

How handsome is Monty this morning?!!

Dead toad present from Ted...luckily very dead..

06/12/2024

Meet TED..

I went to buy hay and came home with a puppy as well.

The loss of Spencer around the place has hit me pretty hard so I guess the universe decided I needed some help.

This is TED.. or Edward. At the moment he is Little Ted and will become Big Ted.

He loves water and has already eaten a dead baby bird. He tried to round up Jake who completely ignored his request.

I have to say having a puppy in the hood is kind of a joy. Jemima and Mrs Simpson are yet to agree.

Hope you have a great weekend listening to your horses as well as enjoying the privilege of being their custodians!

I will be at my next REIKI degree course that will help me do just that.

Sharing this again from Horse Conversations!

Please feel free to share. This is a very important concept for people to understand. I see pain in so many horses its so sad to see. Horses that are in training! Horses that the trainers can't even see that the FOR SALE post they are sharing 'on behalf of a client' is a horse that is shut down from pain - shut down from stress - shut down and doing a typing test with a nun and a ruler next to them.

There are reasons for behaviour. Just think that a horse is human toddler but is 500kg (ish) and go into that space. When I realised that connection with intelligence it changed everything for me.

I know many don't think horses have the ability to think ahead - but maybe they just do.
Predicting pain - predicting good things as well. Maybe it is learned behaiviour? BUT ISNT EVERYTHING WE DO LEARNED BEHAVIOUR!?

I didn't suddenly know how to type 85 words a minute. The nuns hammered it home in grade 9 on typewriters - yes I am that old. She was a good teacher. I don't have bad memories of typing and now do a hell of a lot of it. So that's lucky hey? Just imagine having to do a hell a lot of typing remembering that the nuns used to whack me across the knuckles if I typed DDD instead of FFF?

Connection with a horse isn't between your hands and the reins .... its a connection of thoughts and minds.

Stay safe and happy all!

I know this isn't directly horse related but for those who know.. this!

Maybe keeping calm before the first time out on a green horse at a comp. LOL
