To go with the the post from Rudy Horsemanship…

A comparison of what above the contact, behind the contact, and on the contact looks like from the saddle.

One of the trickiest things about learning correct biomechanics is that we are often expected to learn from ground’s-eye views, and never given examples of what things look like from the saddle.

This is a good visual…

On a technical level, we are seeing the results of extensor muscles over the topline working more in the first picture, flexor muscles under the topline working more in the second picture, and a balance of extensors and flexors in the third picture, where no muscle group is working more than the other, which will allow throughness.

(And if you’re wondering how to fix this…

Fix the first one by releasing the topline extensors, by releasing the poll with a slow-motion squeeze and release of your fingers on the reins, like a massage, until the nose drops to gravity.

Repeat until the horse starts to lower their poll and stretch down.

Fix the second one by releasing the underline flexors, by bumping your reins up gently with a ‘demi arret,’ until the poll elevates and opens.)

Due to the overwhelming and positive response I received for FEC testing, it will remain at $10 per sample!!!!

Faecal Egg Count

A faecal egg count (FEC) counts the number of worm eggs in faeces (dung) and is used to monitor the worm burden in horses (stock).

The results are presented as 'eggs per gram' (epg) of faeces and the number of eggs is an indication of the number of adult worms in the gut of the horse (stock).

This is now the preferred method for horses instead of worming every 6 weeks which is a very outdated worming program.

We can see if they are a high, low or medium shedder and of which wormer you should be using next, if any.

I test your equine friends 💩 inhouse, send you a report outlining what if anything you need to do.

💩 samples can be sent through Auspost or local drop off provided!!!!

Please contact me for further information.

*** We have had an overwhelming response to registration for this event. We initially had said “unlimited seating”, but no venue is truly unlimited.

We had 100 people sign up in the first hour we opened registration, and suddenly realised there was a lot more demand for this than we had initially anticipated. We decided then to cap it at 400, in case it ever got to that number.

It got to 400 in less than 24 hours.We are now at 500 and can not take anymore....If you are not pre-registered, please wait for the video to come out online.

We are truly overwhelmed at the response from everyone, and apologise to anyone who was excited about coming but could not register. We will be videoing the whole Masterclass and it will be available to stream after the event.***

RESOLVING ANXIETY IN HORSES AND HUMANS MASTERCLASS

Saturday, June 18, 2022 9am-4pm

Charles Sturt University Equine Center

Wagga Wagga, NSW, Australia

Almost all behavioral issues that people encounter with horses stem from anxiety in the horse, whether it is outward, spooky anxiety, or shutdown, dissociative anxiety. This could be anything from being hard to catch, all the way up to rearing, bucking, and bolting.

This one-day Masterclass format will feature both Warwick and Robyn Schiller, discussing matters such as:

- What causes anxiety in horses
- What you can do to help them resolve it
- What you can do to help yourself feel better when you are anxious

These subjects will explore topics such as:

- Mammalian nervous systems with a focus on Polyvagal Theory
- Anxiety
- Shutdown
- Brain science
- Myth-busting many common myths and dogma about horse behavior and many common horse training practices that actually cause anxiety.

Warwick will work with horses on both ends of the anxiety spectrum. From the outwardly fixated, highly alert horse, that can’t keep its feet still type to the horse whose anxiety is so overwhelming that they dissociate/go internal. These horses will be sourced prior to the event.

This will be an interactive spectator event with both Warwick and Robyn leading you through human emotional regulation exercises with opportunities to ask questions throughout the day.

Pre-registered: pay $50 cash upon check-in at the event .

Pre-registering helps us anticipate numbers for educational materials and other planning purposes. Only pre-registered guests are guaranteed a spot.
