If showjumping doesn't pan out, you've got a great sniffer horse on your hands

one of the horses at my barn loves stretching, he was stretching his neck down while we were trotting and i actually had to bring his head up so he didn’t kick his jaw! 😂 he’s very weird, but he is a thoroughbred arab cross so...

@anniejshaw 4 жыл бұрын

I think the most important beneficial thing you’re doing for your horses’ health - mental and physical - is keeping them turned out in a large pasture with other horses. You should do a video about that!

@rachaelhutchings2659 4 жыл бұрын

This is great Holly, so many people fail to warm up/cool down properly and think that a circuit or two of walk is sufficient to then peel around. When I was a kid my mum would literally pull me off my pony if she saw me not warming up properly. Such an important element in either the school or hacking!

@HollyLenahanSJ 4 жыл бұрын

I definitely agree! It’s something that any level of rider can include in their riding ☺️

I am wanting anyones opinion! Hi i am aware this is slightly irrelevant but how often should i lunge per week? I have chosen not to ride in the lock down so am lunging with loose vienna reins. He is 20 but good topline and general fitness. Wwyd?

@HollyLenahanSJ 4 жыл бұрын

I wouldn’t really lunge more than every second day as it can put a lot of strain on them. You could switch it up with long reining though so you’re not going in circles but instead driving the horse around the arena and even down any fields etc you might have ☺️

@ellentraquair3974 4 жыл бұрын

@@HollyLenahanSJ thanks so much for replying. I was being on the cautious side and only lunging once a week but i will up it slightly. Thanks for the tip about long reigning. I was also doing trick training to mix it up but i will add that into the mix. Xxx
