Hi I was wondering if any of you have techniques to help your horses tension and mobility! Huyen had a few days off due to the heat and it’s left her quite stiff through her upper back, neck and shoulders. Funny enough I have the exact same in my own body from sitting still. Now that it’s a bit cooler I’ve been doing light groundwork. Mostly walk and trot transitions on my breath and body language. After that I do carrot stretches and leg stretches which she really enjoys. Also supporting her with magnesium and other things in her feed coordinated with her owner. Im curious what other people do and if there’s anything I can learn to help her out a bit more, it’s already getting better but you can never learn enough!

✨ Hello from Ireland - let’s share some wins 🥳 What’s something you and your horse did this week that went right and / or felt good? 🐴✨🫶

…yesterday and this morning I managed to film Roger’s sessions, will get them loaded as soon as I have a minute. Got some real nice learning moments in them 😅 Right now gotta finish packing, have a shower and head to the airport ✈️ The funny guy in the video is Roger’s neighbor, another black beauty. You see Roger ready and waiting at the end. Wishing you all a fab Friday and weekend, if things go to plan I should be in here as normal. Love Zoë 🫶✨🐴

✨Sometimes when I am teaching I get my students to imagine every horse walking around with little digital hour meters on their shoulders quietly clocking up time spent in different subjects. One for groundwork, one for riding and one for daily general skills. I think if we could see those meters clearly, a lot of things in horsemanship would suddenly make more sense. For example… If your dream is liberty, but your horse has thousands of hours clocked under saddle and very little groundwork understanding, then of course certain things are going to feel harder later. Or the opposite… If someone says they desperately want to ride, but year after year the riding meter barely moves while endless hours stack up on the ground, I’d eventually start questioning what’s actually blocking it from happening. Confidence? Fear? Lack of support? The horse? The human? A missing ingredient? And then there’s the daily life meter, the one people often overlook completely. Leading. Standing still. Patience. Bravery training. Emotional regulation. Relationship and bonding. Because horses don’t only become what we train in formal sessions, they become what we repeatedly live with them every single day. ❓So now I’m curious…if your horse really had a visible hour meter, what would it say right now? And more importantly…does it actually line up with the horse, partnership and goals you dream of creating together? 🐴✨🫶
