Iv had a busy few days, starting with seeing some of my clients competing at Mottram Show on Sunday, well done to everyone there.

Then it was home for camp prep and off to Somerford Park Farm for Mon/Tues for High Peak Riding Clubs 2026 camp. I really enjoyed catching up with everyone and your horses. As always, I barely took any photos!

Back to work today, I am a bit behind with admin so I will be replying to messages when I get time. Hope all campers have a fab last day 😀

One-sided elastic girths. Why do they belong in the bin? 🗑️

Because your horse’s physio spends their life trying to make your horse straight.

Your saddle fitter spends their life making your saddle symmetrical.

Your farrier spends their life balancing your horse’s feet.

Your EDT spends their life making your horse’s teeth even.

Your vet spends their life investigating why your horse isn’t moving evenly.

Your instructor spends every lesson telling you to sit in the middle and stop collapsing to one side.

You get the picture…

So why would you then put a girth on that stretches on one side but not the other?

It doesn’t make sense.

If you’re trying to create straightness, symmetry and even pressure, a one-sided elastic girth is working against everything everyone else is trying to achieve.

My preference? A girth with strong, thick, short elastic on BOTH ends. Even better if the elastic crosses over, as it tends to distribute the pressure/force/load more evenly. That said, every horse is an individual and, very occasionally, I come across one that genuinely goes better in a girth with no elastic at all.

But one-sided elastic?

That’s a hard no from me.

Feel free to disagree in the comments… but bring snacks if you’re going to argue. 🍿 And buckle up!

Day out at Bolesworth International

A well needed catch up and some show jumping. The ROR class definitely not making me want to go horse shopping 🤭 Esther Mills

It has been a hot few days at work this week but the horses have all coped really well with lots of cold hosing around sessions and a few fans set up in stables hasn't been so bad!

Hoping we get a bit more back to normal over the weekend 😁

I have just renewed my Equine First Aid Certificate with The Open College of Equine studies.

Safety and top care are always my priority in case of an emergency.

Its important to know what you're horses vital signs are and how to check them if you think something isnt right.
