A great bit of new research in an infographic from Hartpury University. Pole work isn’t just about trotting over poles. Depending how we use them, different effects are seen. Higher poles, wider poles and doing them quickly create more extension (dipping) of the spine. This may not be ideal - go low, go short, go slow!

Dressage doesn't have to be complicated! Your seat sets the bend, your legs set the direction and your reins ask for the bend in the neck. Shop all my books at www.elaineheneybooks.com and worldwide on Amazon.

It was a lovely morning to be on the trails with Jennifer Lawson and Rebecca Veneman.

I feel like this should have a good caption. As in sometimes you're the toad and sometimes you're the pile of p**p?!

Look at these amazing planks that Carolyn Bailey repainted for me. She knew I had a sentimental attachment to the hand and foot prints that my kids had painted on there many years ago. She was willing to painstakingly paint around each and I told her I had the pictures and the memories, she could paint over them. I am just in awe of what she came up with. Thank you Carolyn for all of your hard work on the jumps and especially these planks!
