Derby day 2 recap!
Trainer Chris took two riders to Loch Moy on Sunday, and it was an AWESOME afternoon! Catherine and Bowie had an amazing go in the starter division, showing off all their hard work from this winter to finish in second! Bowie got all the pats after their round. Sophie also rode her golden boy Casino in the BN for his first ever outing over fences, and he was a star! You would have thought he’s been doing this his whole life! 
The day was filled with smiles all around, and everyone is so excited to get rolling this season!
Thank you to Loch Moy (and all the volunteers who make it happen!) for a great weekend!Image attachment

Trainer Eliza took a group to the Loch Moy Go Green Derby today, and the bay boys (and girl) were stars! Amelia and Koz were fast and clear in the intro, Gigi and Prada WON the starter (girl power!! 🥇💪🏼), and Anna and Honza showed off the improvements in rideability they’ve been honing this winter.
A super fun day filled with great horses, great people, and great riding! Trainer Chris will be back there tomorrow for day 2 with another group!Image attachmentImage attachment

Is this what they mean by “x halt salute?” 🫡
Warmer temps next week means more silly hacks with friends - we can’t wait! Tag your hacking buddy!

Quiet training…how our horses prefer it..

Quiet training…how our horses prefer it..Such a simple, simple reality---

Let’s say that a rider wants a horse to move away from leg pressure, basically some sort of leg yield.

And the rider kicks the horse, and the horse moves right over. BUT---the horse is now slightly nervous from the kick.

OR---the rider nudges the horse, and maybe the horse doesn’t instantly move over. So the rider nudges until the horse responds by moving over, at which point the rider has made the point, but has done so BELOW the horse’s anxiety threshold.

The second method may take a little longer, may not seem as effective, at least not right this second, but a horse quietly trained, just using this leg yielding as one example, will generally be more accepting of the training than one which is waiting for some sort of sharper more abrupt signal to do something.

The quiet trainer versus the other way, figure out which you would prefer if you were a horse.

I had the privilege to watch amazing trainer Chris riding yesterday. I kept thinking how fortunate we and our horses are to be learning from such skilled, kind, patient trainers. 🧡
