One good thing about January is…it is almost over!

Horse ownership has been grim!

Better days are coming.

If you spend all day working hard to pay for your horse and this involves desk work, driving, mucking out, manual handling etc. then you cannot expect your body to perform at its best when you ride.

What you do off the horse directly impacts how you ride on the horse.

Asymmetry in your body will cause asymmetry in your horse.

When you keep your horses in Aberdeenshire and we are on the billionth weather warning of the year, consistency with your horses exercise is non-existent!

Do not underestimate what 10mins walking over poles can achieve.

▪️⬆️ core strength
▪️⬆️ proprioception
▪️ Improved joint flexion in the legs and back
▪️ Stride regularity

Poles are excellent for both fitness and rehabilitation by encouraging controlled, deliberate movement. It helps build fitness without high impact great for when baseline fitness level is low.

One of the best tips to achieve a more supple horse is to incorporate regular lateral work—such as shoulder-in, leg-yield, and travers.

Lateral work can be included in in hand work, schooling sessions or even while hacking.

In some horses including lateral work in your warm up and cool down can reap huge benefits.

Don't Forget Both Sides: Work both sides equally, but spend extra time on the stiffer side to even out their flexibility.

If in doubt get your coach involved to ensure you are doing it correctly.

If you are sitting on the fence about engaging with rider physio view it as a partnership: Your physio helps you, but you do the work to achieve long-term health, performance, and injury prevention.

Incorporate small changes in to your routine. Practice your homework to build automatic habits. It is all about progression. Every small step counts.

If you ⬇️

🛑 stay inside your comfort zone
🛑 compare yourself to others
🛑 ignore your horse
🛑 don’t seek coaching/help

You are certain to halt progress.
