Congrats to Nancy Burchett and her 6 year old Warlander, Moonstone, on their win at FHP this past weekend ! After a bad fall some time ago she set this lovely guy up in some regular sessions with me and Im so happy they are reunited in the show ring again! She shook off the nerves and he didn’t put a foot wrong. Well deserved win!🏆

Prada by Paparazzo out of Siegi . An 18 year old brood mare is taking a break from having babies and has taken to jumping as her bloodlines would expect . Her daughter Lady Lauderdale is just coming 4 and also in training with me . I hope she has her moms work ethic as she develops 😊

Lovely sunset while jumping around this fiery old lady last night . 18 year old brood mare making fast work of a 3.6 course . I missed a distance and I think she cleared the standards . Owners were told she was too dangerous to ride especially to jump . She loves to jump. Glad I decided to throw caution to the wind and pop her over something last year. Makes me happy when I can help horses find what they like to do and even more so to have owners willing to let them do whatever they take to ! She will go back to having a baby or two in a year. But stay fit and having fun in the mean time 😊 If only her coming 4 year old daughter had her work ethic 😜

Just a shout out to my ride or die ! Gettin old but sure doesn’t give a s**t ! Me either buddy ! 😉 He loves coming to work w me and rolling in horse p**s and s**t and wallowing in swamp water like a hippo 🦛 whilst avoiding those pesky cows . And sometimes following me around on whoever I’m riding until he’s so sore and tired he can barely walk and has to spend the entire next day passed out on the couch . 😍😍🥰 Gosh I just love him . 13 years old and 12 of them together. Stay sassy tough guy . I need ya around for a lot longer !

💥 Rider Fitness 💥 ⁣
⁣
⁣
🤸‍♀️ It’s that time of year when everyone is talking about, thinking about, and hopefully doing something about, improving their fitness.⁣
⁣
🏇 General fitness is very important for our over wellbeing and longevity. But what constitutes rider fitness? And is it different from general fitness? And should we focus more on being “fit to ride”? ⁣
⁣
Over the next four weeks I am going to go into this topic in more depth and cover what I believe are the four cornerstones of being fit to ride. ⁣
⁣
This will cover:⁣
⁣
💫 Force absorption - the rider’s ability to absorb the movement of the horse and allow their bodies to follow the movement of the horse.⁣
⁣
💫 Rider symmetry - the rider’s responsibility to be the best and most symmetrical load they can be for their horse to carry.⁣
⁣
💫 Rider balance - the rider’s ability to balance, their proprioception and their body awareness.⁣
⁣
💫 Rider stamina - the rider’s ability to cope with increased heart rates and building general stamina.⁣
⁣
So tomorrow we will start with force absorption and what this means, and then on Thursday I’ll share some exercises to help with this.⁣
⁣
🙋‍♀️ What do you believe are important factors in rider fitness or being fit to ride? I’d love to hear your thoughts in the comments.⁣

💙 Breathe better, move better, ride better⁣
