The Verdict

Your Horse, 07 February 2011 17:22

The Trainer Rachel’s not going to have a safe, pleasurable ride until she has Ed listening and doing what she asks.This horse is six years old and he’s learning a life of crime.

He's missing his pair bond

Alison Ritchie, 24 December 2010 10:48

My 14-year-old TB gelding has started to get unhappy when turned out - it began when he lost one of his companions, an old mare. When I put him out, he dashes to the nearest fence and then stays there all day until I go to catch him. What can I do to help him? Alison Ritchie replies: It does sound ...

Artificial Aids

Your Horse, 15 October 2010 17:00

Sometimes you might need a little help to get the impulsion you require and this is when artificial aids come into play – but only when everything else has failed. If you’re able to control your lower leg, it’s more effective to try spurs first rather than a stick, but only if you have this control. If your horse isn’t ...

Stereotypical and non-stereotypical behaviour

Your Horse, 28 September 2010 16:33

Stereotypical behaviour Crib-biting and Wind-sucking A crib-biter will grasp a fixed object with his incisor teeth and bite down on it. Thought to be linked to the digestive system, crib-biting is sometimes accompanied by wind-sucking, where the horse arches his neck and gulps down air, usually with a loud grunt. Chronic crib-biting can cause uneven wear of the teeth, but ...

Exercise 9 - Polework exercises

Anonymous, 28 September 2010 15:17

Working over ground poles can really help build strength and co-ordination, even if you never intend to jump your horse. Correct use of poles can encourage an even length and height of step, promotes stretching of the topline and use of abdominals, strengthens muscles more than just working on a flat surface, and can straighten a horse by discouraging sideways ...

Alcohol

Over the limit Many of us have spent Saturday mornings with our heads glued to pillows, laying stock still for fear of waking up the man with a sledgehammer, who's waiting to take his anger out on our skulls.Clearly this isn't a good state to be getting on a horse and most happy hackers wouldn't even consider it. However, many ...

Sylvia Loch at Your Horse Live 2009: part 3

Sylvia Loch, 30 May 2010 11:53

Sylvia Loch is one of the best-known proponents of classical equitation. She tours the world teaching good, old-fashioned horsemanship, which means schooling and training using patience and expertise – not gadgets and punishment. Sylvia was kind enough to demonstrate at last year’s Your Horse Live, where she worked with an advanced dressage horse to show us how to warm up ...

The horse and rider's responsibilities

William Micklem, 16 May 2010 13:25

The horse’s responsibilities The rider must sign up to a contract that gives physical responsibility for actually jumping the fence to the horse. Who could argue with this? But you still see riders acting as though it was their own legs that were on the ground, throwing their bodies around and making strenuous pulls on the reins.In addition, the rider ...
