How much sass does this pony have!! 💗 So Bumble has a problematic shoulder which after various vet tests/xrays etc it seems he will always be ‘technically’ lame on his right shoulder, he’s super happy and will drag you out of the stable and out to the feild for his grass so I’m not worried in that respect, but wanted to help his shoulder mobility and lack of muscle, as like most of us when we don’t use a muscle group correctly it causes tension and muscle loss, so over the la...st month we have been working on shoulder lifts and the Spanish walk to improve mobility and muscle, as you can see he’s doing pretty well 💗 while the lockdown is in place why not take some time to work on your inhand skills (for those of you still making essential visits if your on DIY) and build a better connection with your horse!! I’d love to see some pictures of those of you who are playing from the ground at home 💗💗 #stayhomestaysafe #buildabond #teamworkmakesthedreamwork

Somewhere right now is an eventer, gutted that their season is over before it’s begun. There is a full livery who doesn’t know when they’ll next be able to see their horse due to lockdown. There is a DIY livery struggling to find the hours in the day whilst working overtime in an essential role. ... There is a rider with an arena, disappointed that all their training and competitions are cancelled. There is a rider without an arena, wondering how they are going to stay on top of schooling. There is a freelancer, trying their best to make ends meet as yards close and clients run out of money. There are vets and farriers risking their health because they refuse to compromise horse welfare. There is a rider feeling guilty for riding because the hoards have called them “selfish”, despite it being the only way to keep them mentally “ok”. There is a rider feeling deflated and low, because they have chosen not to ride as they don’t want to risk a fall.
And somewhere out there is a little girl, stuck inside, looking at the posters on her wall wishing she could have her own pony, after her riding lessons were cancelled indefinitely.
Everyone’s problems are relative. Make the best of what you’ve got and be grateful for it, because the likelihood is...someone out there will be wishing they have what you’ve got.
Stay safe, be kind.

My Baby horse off on her holidays today 🤩 23months old 💓

I do love this horse! First 1m of the year and last for a while! Not the prettiest or tidiest of rounds but super proud of myself and my horse for doing it! I couldn’t care less what anyone else thinks! I cherish everything we can do as there was a time where I thought I wouldn’t get to do it!! 💓💓💓💓 #havefaith #workhardplayharder

See everyone thought I was mad for loving horses, I always said they were good for my soul, in a time of madness they keep me sane, healthy and in the fresh air! I will continue to teach and train for aslong as I am allowed to do so 💓 So why not put our energy into bettering ourselves ready for when the world calms down again!
BHS GUIDELINES
... Is it safe to keep riding during the COVID-19 outbreak?
We know how much being close to horses can mean to riders and during these challenging times the BHS is advising horse riders that it is safe to ride horses during the current Covid 19 outbreak providing you follow the Government guidelines on hygiene and social distancing.
Professor Whitty, the UK’s Chief Medical Advisor, has stated that it is “very important” for adults and children to continue taking exercise and that being outside is “a very good thing to do”. Activities which involve crowding together in groups for long periods are to be avoided.
Hacking out or riding in the school, or continuing with your regular lessons or coaching session are being encouraged, not just for exercise for you and your horse but also to help your mental wellbeing during these difficult times.
