Barn Planning For Maximum Utility

June 21, 2012 By Leave a Comment

When you’re adding to your old barn, and particularly when you are building a new barn, you ought to be paying attention to some main elements. The 1st factor relates to the position of the barn, which is a matter of elementary seriousness. I have some suggestions for you below.

Situation: Before completing the size and situation of your barn, think about what the future suggests. Is your barn large enough to serve you for the foreseeable future? If not, is there enough space around to allow any growth that could be obligatory?

Zoning issues: Lots of cities and counties prohibit the quantity of horses you can keep at one location. You ought to be conversant with the laws that apply to you, and you must go along with them. These restrictions are designed to prevent the likely penetration of odour and run-off into neighbouring properties and sewers.

Building codes: Sometimes, if you are outside municipal limits, you may not have to worry yourself with building codes. You need to have your site checked out by the most relevant authority if you are located within city limits.

Slope: You may be required to install a slope of between 2 and 6 degrees to ensure efficient drainage from structures, coaching tracks and arenas without causing any erosion.

Soils: You need to define your property’s soil type or types with some soil tests. Your soil types will determine the type of grass that you can grow. You might be able to get soil testing done with a little help from your local county authorities.

Water and sewage: Most towns stipulate that you need separate water and sewage systems for rural properties. While you could be allowed access to civil sewers, you could be required to set up your own lateral links and septic systems.

Area usage: You have to have clear plans made out, with proper indications of proposed sites for facilities like your arena, your training track, your pens and the like. Your plans should clearly show the proposed routes and locations of your water, sewage and electronic hardware. They should also clearly show the locations of suggested slopes and creeks together with any trees and ponds you plan to put in. You must make really sure that your plans permit sufficient room for future expansion.

Structures: Structures should be sited on high ground to help efficient drainage. There should be satisfactory provision for draining round pens and arenas. Have clear plans on where to send run off, as this can be of real help in avoiding mud hole event with the resulting chance of injury and illness. Your structure planning will have to be such that it does not adversely affect wildlife preserves, wetlands and riparian areas.

Sun and Wind: Get professional help when necessary to design the best layout of your barn to guarantee minimum intensity of direct sun and maximum possible natural air ventilation.

Landscaping: Plan areas full of trees and shrubs such that they improve the final look of your land and also provide you with windbreaks.

Traffic planning: Segregate clear areas for animal traffic and for motorized traffic. There should be no overlapping, so you leave no room for possible misfortunes.

Your Horses Their Whiskers And The Barber

June 18, 2012 By Leave a Comment

Most mammals I know of have whiskers, and maybe one or two non-mammals, as well , like the catfish. Dogs feature whiskers, as do cats and cows. And horses, too , have whiskers. You could just about say that nature gave each mammal whiskers with a purpose, whatever that purpose could be. Science has it this purpose is for whiskers to function as a kind of antenna, particularly in natural blind spots or in the dark. Be that as it may, whiskers are as much a normal part of mammals as warm blood, bones and skin.

So why on earth do we insist upon clipping whiskers on our horses?

I have looked into this matter in great depth, and I can find no reason that seems sensible. On the contrary, I get the feeling we do our horses a great disfavour by clipping their whiskers. Whiskers are part of a horse’s survival mechanism, endowed naturally. Whiskers enable a pony to feel things it may not see, like when it is grazing, of drinking water. Whiskers also help horses when they are eating hay or grain and when they are nuzzling each other. Like with other mammals, nature endowed horses with whiskers to make for visible blind spots at the ends of their noses.

Through whatever we are able to trace of horses’ history, all thru their evolutionary progress to the glorious animals they are we see assorted modifications in body size and conformation. But whiskers were an enduring feature. They were there right at the start, and they are there now. Does that let us know anything?

If they served no purpose, evolution would have disposed of them.

As a relatively veteran horseman who has done her share of pony whisker clipping, I am able to claim that the only reason horse owners clip their animals’ whiskers is to pretty up their horses. That of course implies that whiskers aren’t conducive to good looks, a statement that may be debated. I was an inveterate whisker-clipper before one fine day, out of nowhere, I questioned just what I was doing and what I was hoping to achieve as I was clipping a pony. There’s simply no connection in the slightest that I could make out between clipping whiskers and health, ease of life, or any other factor that would contribute to the animal’s well being.

I also doubt if any horse owner has ever asked his pony for an opinion about getting clipped. Ideally, since horses can’t talk, you might take a horse to a mirror, let him look at himself before and after clipping and let him express his viewpoint. I am happy to bet the pony isn’t going to have anything complimentary to say of getting his whiskers clipped, and he will potentially wish to sue his owner for infringing on his natural rights.

Maybe it is time we gave some significant consideration to the pros and the cons of clean shaving our horses. Even better, perhaps we will just let Mother Nature have her way.

What Is A Scopey Pony

June 13, 2012 By Leave a Comment

Puzzled by the word scope in the context of horses? So was I, before I got to understand what it meant. The only meanings for scope I knew were optical instruments like rifle scopes and telescopes and the extent of an activity or probability.

When horse riders speak of scope, they’re talking about a horse’s fence jumping capabilities. A horse is said to be ‘scopey’ when it takes jumps effortlessly.

As you can understand, scope is invaluable in the show world, particularly show jumping. Pony owners, trainers and riders are constantly on the lookout for exceptionally scopey horses. They want horses that negotiate the largest obstacles without raising a sweat. Heights in some classes can surpass 1.60m, therefore the scopier a pony is, the better its possibilities of coming back home with one or two certificates. Gifted, truly scopey horses are uncommon, and can be particularly pricey. Great equine athletes are just as rare as great human ones. A human Sotomayor comes along once in a lifetime or 2, and so does an equine Genuine. Both are incredibly scopey.

Get one thing straight, though. Not all horses are scopey to the same extent. Not all horses are of Olympic class in their skills. You can make judgments on a horse’s scopiness only in the context of its classes of competition. You could be referring to a pony which has established a name for being scopey in children’s jumpers without quite having the talent to move further. Everything is relative.

Nonetheless scope is just one of the pre-requisites for good jumpers. They also must exercise due care. A pony that exercises due care is a horse that makes an attempt to jump cleanly, without hitting the jumps. Scope without care is like speed without direction, something like a disaster waiting to happen. The converse holds good, of course: care without scope is like direction without speed. You won’t be getting anywhere.

Mastering The Sitting Trot

May 30, 2012 By Leave a Comment

Join the club, if you find you are having difficulty with sitting when your horse is on the trot. All too many riders who are getting trained in the sitting trot face problems maintaining their seat. Lots of these riders have learned the hard way that their seat bones often fail to be where they should be: on the saddle. In actual fact you can start to learn to sit the trot amazingly if you try out some simple tricks. The results are likely to be fast.

To start with, let’s redefine the word ‘sit’ in the context of the trot. Many riders presume this word indicates passivity. They’re wrong. You are not meant to sit like a brass Laughing Buddha while on the sitting trot. You can enhance your position a heap if you change your idea of the sitting trot: think of it as a process that actively involves you, too.

Poor sitting trots feed on themselves and degenerate further with time. The whole problem starts with the down movement. The ride fails to stay in rhythm with the horse; he begins to drop into the saddle as the saddle starts its journey back up. The result is a clashing reunion of rider seat and saddle. A pony subject to that sort of impact has a tendency to stiffen up. He will collapse his back, and when a pony does this, the trot becomes a gait that’s impossible to sit.

You can properly sit the trot just when you learn how to closely follow your saddle’s up and back down movements. This task is all the more challenging because you want to learn how to do it on your seat bones.

The positive side of the entire thing is that you don’t need to put your horse to any trouble while you get yourself tuned into sitting trots. Take it out on a tough chair of wood instead. Sit on the chair with your face to its back, and ensure that the chair is in contact with both of your seat bones. Tighten and loosen each of the seat bones alternatively, so that one seat bone is up when the other is down. If you find you’re not able to do this, you most likely have puny muscles in your butt; though it is also possible that your hips and your back could be too tight. You can bring this area of your anatomy to full strength and suppleness with some stretching, yoga or pilates.

Once you are finished with the chair, it is back to your pony. Sit straight, your back should be straight up over your hips and your seat. Follow your horse’s movement with one seat bone at a time. Don’t curve your back, and keep your hips soft and flexible to enable you to follow your horse’s movement closely. If you have correctly aligned your body, your legs should be well relaxed with the impact being cushioned by your in time motion.

Bending Your Pony In Lateral Work

May 24, 2012 By Leave a Comment

If you are trying to do lateral work like haunches-in, shoulder-in and half passes, then you have no choice but to get your pony to bend.

To do this successfully, here is an equation that you need to work with: Bend Sideways = Engagement (where engagement means joint bending). As the pony bends his rear legs, his croup goes down while his forehand rises like an aircraft at take off or a seesaw).

To get you going, I have 3 tips which will help define if you are getting your pony to bend correctly deriving the most benefits from lateral work.

1. Shoulder-in

Consider the horse’s hindquarters. Are they parallel to a wall while everything else is normal, as if you’re simply riding down a track? If so, he should be on a leg-yield in this shoulder-in position.

2. Haunches-in

Consider the horse’s forehand. Is your horse’s front feet or shoulders pointed outward towards the wall, whilst everything else is normal like you’re simply riding down a track? If so, he should be on a leg yield in the haunches-in position.

3. Half-pass

Half pass is nothing more than a diagonal haunches-in. Thus, the same principles that apply to haunches-in also apply to half passes. Check yourself by going right across the diagonal like you’re simply changing direction and then go haunches-in over 3 to 4 strides. Go back to straight. The critical point arises as you straighten the pony. See whether he swiveled round his forehand to come back to the diagonal. If he did, he was not actually bending at half pass.

Without a doubt if you desire to advance your riding prospects this type of training is going to have to become part of your regular work out and whilst in the beginning it will be a challenge to some… let me affirm that there is nothing quite so pleasing as you suddenly realising that you have won.

How To Get Your Pony To Mind His Manners

May 23, 2012 By 1 Comment

No equine coaching is totally complete without some lessons on correct ground manners. The deportation of your pony around you, and more significantly, around others would reflect on your ability as a horse person. When you’re out to teach your horse manners, make sure you are in the right mind-set. If you’re in the blues, play hooky and give your horse a rest.

And incidentally, that’s only 1/2 the tale. The other half is your pony and his mood. Be sensitive to it. You horse isn’t going to be very receptive to training if he is not in the right mind-set. You can learn much by tuning in on your horse’s body language. If he has his eyes hooded in a lowered head, you can rest assured that he’s at peace with the globe. If he is not amenable, skip the coaching. Another day will always come along. If your horse is showing a marked degree of unusual behavior, then clearly you need to do some investigation.

Teach him who wields the reins

Your horse will treat you mounted the way he treats you unmounted. To paraphrase, if he doesn’t respect you when you’re standing on your own two feet, he will not respect when you are astride him. If you fail to get his respect, the probabilities are very high that you have yourself to blame , because most trained horses are superbly glad to be led, and are receptive to someone who can take control. It is not really difficult, either, to create a synergy of equals with your horse, with you as the more equal equal.

You have to be deep into horse psyche and work with them, not against them. Young horses are frolicsome and easily diverted. They’ll give you some anxious moments, and you should be prepared. They may horse around with you, treating you also like a frolicsome mate, and you should use their approval of you to play with and work with them while slowly asserting your dominance.

Never allow your horse to get his way even in the littlest thing. What starts off as tiny and insignificant can end up in much bigger issues. Nip it in the bud. Don’t let him bully you or anybody else. The smallest weakness on your side will be milked. You can’t afford to be seen as puny or tolerant.

Be the alpha entity in the relationship. Don’t let your horse intrude into your private space.

How to read the right signs

Emitting the right body language yourself and reading your horse’s own body language correctly are crucial necessities. Look for the correct indications of submissiveness in your pony before you commence coaching.

Characteristic body language of a receptive pony

– His ears are forward; he looks to be relaxed

– His head is down

– He licks his lips every now and then

– He’s standing on one cocked leg

– He’s breathing deeply.

You wont find a better time to train your pony than when he is at one with the world.

One other thing to do before commencing training: make sure you know what treat your horse loves and have plenty of it to hand. You need to reward your horse every time he does a good job. That is one of the best strategies you can use to coach him effectively.

Positive reinforcement is the secret to success in equine training.

Why You Should Bareback Ride Your Pony

May 21, 2012 By Leave a Comment

Two centuries ago, children used to do bareback riding, i.e, riding without a saddle. They hopped on to any old pony in the field and sped off.

Today’s riders are mostly lost without a saddle, unless they are Indigenous Americans. There isn’t any question saddles help with function and appearance to a degree. But there is, a lot worth saying for bareback riding, which can significantly benefit confidence and posture.

Because riding bareback allows a very close feeling between pony and rider, you are better able to soak up the horse’s movement without any obstructions. Through this, you also grow as a profesional rider.

When it comes to English saddles, they have very little leather between horse and rider, especially dressage saddles, which have thin flexible flaps.

Any rider of any discipline, at any level of expertise can gain advantage from bareback riding. For years now, I’ve been riding bareback once each week, as I find that it magically improves the performance of both rider and pony. The horse also benefits because he achieves superior sensitiveness to rider cues, with no leather in between to act as an inhibiting factor.

Bareback riding is wonderful for improvement of balance, posture, strength and pliability. All of this adds up to improved confidence. You are tuned in fine on your horse’s movements and you can feel individual muscle in motion; you also gain greater sensitivity to the horse’s feet placements for each movement, which is bound to help tremendously with your horsemanship. Free flow of touch communication is an integral part of good horsemanship. A large amount of the best riders will make it clear that they become one with their horses when out on rides, sort of like they were centaurs.

An amount of athleticism is also needed by all riders. As a rider, you need robust muscles, whether you are a part time pleasure rider or a much more serious expert. Strong muscles function better when stretched. When you are doing bareback riding, you get more ease of movement and an improved sense of balance. Your body and legs shoudn’t be restricted by saddles and stirrups. You should feel less tension and more balance.

Lunging

Lunging is an excellent place to begin, but don’t forget to lunge with a particularly safe horse. Where there are riders who prefer utilising the reins, I personally find it’s far better to ignore using all equipment and simply concentrate. If your pony gives any signs of discomfort, you need to dismount. I’ve seen accidents happen because the rider ignored signals and stayed on the horse. Work inside a round pen or other enclosed area with soft soil. If the horse is less than suitable, choose another. Never work with a horse that’s not fully fit for lunging. Also, always remember to wear a helmet. Frequently, riders fall in reach of their horses’s feet.

Practicing dismounting is a superb exercise that prepares you to face emergencies well. It improves your sense of coordination. From a walk, get your hands on your horse’s neck, thrust up, swing a leg over and then jump down. Try and make this an automatic habit. You can if you practice it often enough. It is going to be of great help if you ever have to dismount in a crisis. Reward your pony if he comes to a stop when you dismount. This is just what you need him to do.

The fat content of the horse’s body mass has a role to play, too. You can communicate better with thin horses, and you are able to sit more easily on fat ones. You get the very best results from horses that are of medium build, but you should try and get experience on all builds of horses simply to increase your knowledge base. Horses that are overweight are incline be rather ungainly and not in perfect coordination when throwing their legs out and this means you lose the finer edges of your sense of balance. Moreover, avoid riding fat horses continually.

As you begin walking on the line at a walk, concentrate on your balance. Are you tilting one way or the other? Try to get your weight precisely centered. This will also teach you the best ways to make seat bone contact. Try and find rhythm with the horse’s movements, don’t just sit there rigidly. Do some stop and walk again transitions, while continuing to feel the legs and muscles under you.

If your pony is of a quiet disposition, shut your eyes and attempt to connect with it. Doing this will fast-track data fed to your brain. When done continually, you will improve much faster.

The trot and canter

Go through the gaits in a relaxed fashion. Dont let anybody hustle you into a speed that you are not comfortable with. This may result in your losing confidence badly enough to give up horse riding for all time.

It happens regularly enough that at the start of a trot, you get thrown to the front and jerked back again, thus sending confusing signals to your horse. Work on that problem habitually, and try and sort it out satisfactorily before your horse becomes totally lost. Never forget that whatever you do with your horse represents training, even riding him bareback. Perfect riding comes from perfect practice.

Speeding up

You may find that your pony runs slow with you on a saddle but runs fast when you ride bareback. This is maybe because when you’re bareback, you grip and move your legs around. If this happens with you, return to a walk and attempt to get balance back with some more stretching exercises. Remember: when you come across a problem, return to slower gaits to work on them.

Avoid using reins for balance

A common but erroneous bent is for bareback riders to use their reins to balance. If you should feel yourself losing balance, grab onto the horse’s mane rather than the mouth. Treat your horse’s mouth as a sensitive area to be protected and never abused. Furthermore reaching for the reins constantly is definitely a form of abuse.

Jumping Bareback

Of all activities possible bareback, jumping is certainly one of the most electrifying. Don’t begin on jumping unless you are absolutely confident about your horse’s ability to take the smaller poles and fences to start with. Use ground poles to begin with. Commence with a single pole and keep adding as you get experience and confidence. Sometime in the near future, you might even try out gymnastics on a lunge line.

Confidence

One of the greatest assets you gain from bareback riding is confidence. Bareback riding necessitates the type of trust between rider and pony that can’t be achieved as well with riding on saddles. Rider and pony share a sense of freedom, of exciting oneness, the kind that isn’t matched in other sports. As time rolls by, you may start to balance naturally, without conscious thought and really, that is the very best way to ride.

Kitting Out For Horse Riding

May 20, 2012 By Leave a Comment

One of the most popular sports in history has always been horse riding. It has found mass appeal all across the globe with all sorts of folk. Pony trekking is a superb mixing of pleasure and exercise. It is beside the point what your age is or what level of riding abilities you have. One thing you need to remember though is you do have to be familiar with horse riding gear, attire and gear.

Riding apparel should emphasise safety first, comfort second and style last. Correct apparel protects you from external elements, provides physical protection to your head and limbs as well as the parts of your pony that it covers. Items of essential riding clothes include jodhpurs, breeches, riding shirt, body protectors, riding boots, hat and gloves. These items are generally called equestrian clothing.

When it comes to protection against physical injury, the hat is believed to be the most important piece of the riding outfit that one should wear. Riding hats protect your head from serious injury and you should wear one right from the first moment you are exposed to a horse. Make use of a new hat that you have purchased specifically to fit your head.

Jackets are sometimes worn during horse shows and other such events. The best riding jacket does not hamper free movement in any fashion. Riding jackets come in a large variety of styles, some intended for specific disciplines like showing, show jumping and dressage. Competitions usually make it imperative for riders to wear jackets.

While breeches and jodhpurs are usually close fitting, they should still offer great comfort. They must not restrain free movement in the slightest bit. You can get them in a different range of fabrics and colors from the standard beige of competitions to any colour of your choice. You get twine and denim breeches and jodhpurs that are eminently suited for equestrian purposes.

How To Consistently Have Your Horse’s Work At Your Pace

April 15, 2012 By Leave a Comment

Ever come across horses that have some type of itch to be at the front of every group they are a part of? You could have also faced horses that have got the opposite urge: they always lag behind to be the last in the group. Clearly, when you’re riding in a group, such horses could be a real agony because they constantly must be slowed down or sped up.

I have some good news: owners of such horses need not give up on them. It needs some work, of course, but the issue can be resolved satisfactorily.

Whatever kind of horse you are riding, you can attain cruise control with it so that it travels at the rate set by you, instead of itself. With a correctly trained pony, you should have no problems getting it to stay at precisely the speed you wish. You can’t achieve this, though, until you are ready to be more than just a horse rider. You must be a much more effective communicator.

Routinely, horses are actually capable of 4 gaits. Each gait should ideally be composed of 3 paces: slow, normal and fast. What all of this means is that if your horse has a natural bent to stroll slowly, you’ll need to work on getting him to go up to normal or fast pace at your command. Inversely, if your horse has the tendency to walk fast, you have to train him to ease down to normal or slow at your cue. This applies for trots, canters and gallops, too.

What is it you can do to get your horse going at your pace, whenever you would like it? You must start with the walk and move on step by finished step. Make sure your body movements are in complete rhythm with the pony, with your hips complementing his movements, not clashing with them. Feel out your horse’s rib cage in its swinging side to side motion. As your leg comes up against his rib cage, gently press down ‘never use force’ with your calves and then release the pressure. Alternate between your legs, and make sure you are not reining in the pony as you do this. This should result in your pony extending and engaging a rather more active walk. At every point, ensure your hips are relaxed and moving in perfect time with your horse. At the beginning, your horse may manage just a couple of more energetic steps. Be OK with that much, reward your pony by rubbing his neck. As time passes, it is possible to get your pony to enhance his walk for longer and longer spells.

When you are coping with horses with a natural tendency to remain put instead of move, and move slowly when they do move, you need to work with them on terrain with long stretches. This means that you should not be working with them in tiny arenas or pastures. Give the pony an extended workout in a straight line and treat him to a rest at the end of each stretch. You might motivate him more with a treat available when he completes each stretch.

Clearly, horses with too much in the way of energy need to be handled differently. They have to be cooled down. There isn’t any way you’re going to achieve your objectives by becoming involved in a rein-based tug o’war. What you must do involves quite some work with circular variations, which would help most with this type of pony. When you do out and in spirals, serpentines and circles of different diameters with these horses, you’ll be able to persuade them that there is no fire anywhere. Attempt to cease prompting your pony on with swapping legs; have plenty of half halts, utilise a snaffle bit inside rein in a squeeze/release pattern.

When you take the trouble of getting your horse to adjust his gait at your command regularly, you are patently going to stay with any riding group you are a part of. You won’t have to frequently step on the gas or stamp on the brakes with your horse. A respondent pony means more pleasurable rides.

Why You Must Use Horse Coaching Videos

March 4, 2012 By 2 Comments

Not every horse enthusiast can take up the mantle of equestrian and take part in dressage events. In truth not every enthusiast would want to enter their pony in competitive sport or shows. But what makes equine lovers all the same is their desire to improve their horse riding skills, which sometimes entail an excellent investment of time, effort, and money. Many an equestrian has spent thousands of greenbacks on clinics and workshops just to get his talents up to par and his horses up to scratch. Luckily , for the indisposed to clinics or classes, there are horse coaching videos available, and they have got a bunch of advantages you can make the most out of.

Comprehensive “Horse coaching videos can be expected to be all-encompassing at least in the subject matter it is discussing. This implies that most folks, even a skilled equestrian, can learn plenty about a selected horse topic from only 1 video. Visual learners aren’t the only ones video can influence for the better—any type of learner uses his eyes mainly to find out what he is able to. And while a clinic beats a video when it comes to interaction, well done videos consider everything involved and factor them into the video which means the information you get isn’t just all-embracing, it’s all effective.

Self-paced learning “Clinics and classes have schedules, and these schedules may not coincide with your spare time. Even an equestrian can sometimes be too tied up with other stuff to attend a scheduled class. Coaching videos on the other hand afford you the privilege of learning at your own time and pace. This way you can continually discover more about horses, their care, and their training without compromising other vital and time-consuming aspects of your life. Even only a few minutes devoted to a clip of training video can do amazing things for your horse abilities.

Repeated lessons “Clinic lessons advance based mostly on an established curricula—you can’t go back and do something over again because you missed a class or still can’t do it right. This is another main advantage of using coaching videos. Not only are you able to pause and rewind at parts of the video you would like to watch, you can also continually watch a video lesson as much as you need particularly if it’s yours. Feel free to relearn everything until you feel you are deserving to become a self-proclaimed equestrian.

Learning made portable “Video” doesn’t even need TV for you to watch it any longer. Portable players of all shapes, sizes, and media types have appeared affording you portable learning that can be carried wherever you go. This implies you can learn horse training and care lessons at your own time and pace and in nearly any place you would like. Further broadening the already convenient confines of time and space with which you schedule whereabouts and when you need to watch horse coaching videos, the arrival of even downloadable videos in an age where each spot is a Wi-Fi area just adds a brilliant new dimension and advantage to training videos.
