Welcome to a series of "in the know" at River Ridge Stable!!
Do you know how much preparation it takes to get your horse ready and focused to get the most out of each session?
Here is step one:
When using the cold water option it is especially important to get blood flowing, muscles warmed up, and joints/ligaments primed.
We use cavaletti poles to get your horse thinking, moving straight and relaxed, and using their body correctly. Not only is it an excellent warm up, it helps correct compensation patterns your horse develops from everyday training and repetitive maneuvers they complete depending on your discipline. We are always trying our best to get the maximum benefits for your horse while they are here!
