🌟 Why Use an Independent Nutritionist? 🌟

I am not tied to specific brand!

I am not paid commission to "push" certain feeds!

If I think two feeds from different brands are the perfect combination for your horses/yard, I am perfectly free to tell you so instead of being required to stay with one brand and giving you a "second best" dietary recommendation.

Are you looking for help with your horse's nutrition, pop me a message to book your consultation!

What happens in your first session with me?

Even before we step in the arena, we will have had a good chat about where you and your horse are up to....

We'll discuss your riding history, your horse's history, your combined current level of work/training and your future goals and aspirations.

We'll talk about any problems you feel currently stuck with. I'll ask when your horse last had bodywork, saddle fitter, farrier and which vet you're working with if any at the time...... after all, it takes a village!

I'll also check in with your horse's current nutrition, diet and management....working with the full picture means I'll be able to give you the best of my skill set, rather than heading up the wrong road initially.

Then comes the first session.

For the first 10 minutes, I'll watch and I probably won't say a lot to start with..... I'm watching how you work, how your horse works, and how you work together.

I'll ask you to show me as much or as little as you would like to... never any pressure to show me anything specific.

When you're happy I'll ask you join me in the middle, we'll have a little discussion about where I think we should be starting, and then we'll get stuck in and crack on!

I ask all clients to book an initial session so we can discuss any future training schedule once I have an assessment of your needs, and you are happy that you like my coaching style going forward!

I'm technical, I'm classical, I'm fundamental!

We were all beginners once, but the desire to learn and be the best for your horse is what I care about and instill into my clients!

My diary is now open for Autumn/Winter training, pop me a message to get your initial session booked in!

💪 Let's Talk - Long Reining 💪

Winter is coming, use your time valuable through the Autumn and make sure your ground work skills are up to scratch!

Long Reining is one of the most valuable skills that you can learn/teach your horse! And it's important to utilise it on a regular basis!

Long reining is a key part of beginning a horses working education, but it is sometimes rarely used once the rider is on board, but I like to make sure that every horse I work with is established and confident working on the long reins.

It has so many benefits to your horse!

🔹️ exercise without the weight of a rider and saddle; the horse can lift their back and engage their core more, and build more strength!

🔹️ useful for regaining a base level of fitness and strength before reintroducing a rider after a period of rest.

🔹️ allows your horse to establish their balance and way of going through all paces without the hindrance of a rider, but whilst also working with a contact similar to that of a rider!

🔹️ allows variety within the horses working timetable. It can also be used to provide an efficient and effective "workout" for your horse when time is short!

🔹️ unlike lunging, it allows you to switch regularly between circle work, and work on straight lines, meaning that the legs can get a break from constant circles.

🔹️ it's versatile! Long rein in the arena, up and down the fields, and include polework!

🔹️ an effective way of exercise when riding isn't possible; in-between saddles, usual rider is unavailable, child's pony that needs extra work to maintain way of going, or to keep the extra weight off!

And the irony is........

Longreining is part of almost every injury rehab plan I've seen!

But the truth is that including regular longreining, building a stronger horse in the first place, can reduce the risk of an injury occurring!!!

🔹️🔹️🔹️🔹️🔹️

Would you like to learn how to/teach your horse how to longrein?

Pop me a message to ask about my groundwork training sessions!

🔹️🔹️🔹️🔹️🔹️

I also have space to take on one or two horses for weekly groundwork sessions throughout the winter if you're struggling with time commitments.

🌟 Let's Talk - The 15/20% Rule 🌟

Have you heard of the 15/20% rule?

It is generally accepted that the horses weight carrying capacity is 15% of their Bodyweight; 20% as an absolute max!

Let's look at the actual numbers....

A healthy 500kg TB can carry 75kg (15%). An average saddle weights approx 8kg, leaving 67kg as the rider weight allowance.

But now, let's consider a slightly rounder horse with a Body Condition Score more on the overweight side (eg. 4). This horse has an ideal weight of 500kg, but an actual weight of 525kg.

This horse is already carrying 25kg of its 75kg limit, leaving 50kg. Allowing 8kg for the saddle, this only leaves 42kg allowance for the rider!

(The 15% rule does not increase just because the horse weighs more! It decreases!)

As an absolute max, for a horse that is fit and healthy, and a rider that is experienced and balanced in the saddle, this rule can be extended to 20% of the horse's bodyweight.

Carrying too much weight will influence how the horse works, resulting in extra strain of joints, tendons, and ligaments. Possibly leading to the development of arthritis and injury over time!
