Gilberto’s horses are beyond incredible to ride. Who else would allow you to ride their world champion horses and offer them with joy and pride for you to try. They are exceptionally trained, extremely happy in their work and are revered with much respect and treated like the family members they are.

For anyone wanting to see a 10 minute clip from my lesson with Deb. I think it’s important to see whole snippets of lesson, I don’t mind showing the good and the bad, when I get it wrong and when we get it right, I also think it’s important to share Marie Gahans, Jose’s and Debbie’s teachings as they are not like the majority.

Paim was not 100 percent relaxed and a bit spooky at a few things but we learnt how to work through it while trying to keep my position. Another tool for when we go out. Ideally his neck would be stretching more and the gullet opening more while still having a cadenced trot.. but this is what we could get today. When I go back home to practice I will keep working to this. A short neck and closed gullet is something so common to see and ultimately it’s not what I want to see ever in my horses or my skill set. More stability exercises off the horse for me so I can still stay loose but appear to not move so much. A fun lesson with Deb today playing with the trot

A few weeks ago Paim had loose 💩 for more than a week. I put it down to the green grass coming through…He is already on kelato gut heath but Pron8ture paste is by far the best thing I have ever used before and after travelling or whenever scouring happens. The powder is no way near as good as the paste. One dose of 30ml and your next 💩 is solid. I’ve used it on my old horse who scoured for a month, next poo was solid, if your horse is anxious going away or at a comp or new place and their poos turn runny this stops that if you give it to them before you travel. Obviously it indicates your horses gut is not functioning the best it should have this happens on a regular basis but this paste will at least stop it. I have several in the fridge at all times. You get 3 doses out of a tube or 1 loading dose and 1 normal dose if your horse has it bad.
