Since winter is coming, what are your strategies and plans what it comes to rugs? How do you decide when it's time to put on a rug, what it's time for a warmer rug, and when do the rugs come of? The answer is usually very varied since everyone lives in different countries and has different horses (maybe ones don't even use rugs at all 😊).

Have you ever been STRUGGLING to get the mane to look straight or neat? I know I have… I recently have started to clip and pull horses so here are a couple of tips :) 1.) don’t make the mane go in a straight jagged line make it more diagonal and blended with the structure of the neck. 2.) if the horses are going to competition leave the mane longer so there is enough to braid their manes if needed. 3.) when you are evening and blending out the mane once you get to a point where it is mostly blended with a few hairs left sticking out you can use your hands and just pull the hair with your fingers without a comb. 4.) if the horse you are working on won’t stay still start near the middle of their mane and once you are down with that go to the withers after take a short break and then go closer towards the bridle path. 5.) I don’t know if this is common sense or not but once you pull out some of the mane brush it out again. I hope these tricks and tips help you :D

At the weekend, a great pole training course was offered at our stables! We were able to try out new things and had lots of fun 🤗

I purchased a pair of psos breeches , that are a really nice blue jean blue , but they are not denim ... I love the way they look and feel so excited to wear them. However, today was my fist time trying to ride in them .. I no sooner sat in the saddle and I slid right off and hit the ground. On one side and off the other in a matter of seconds. I could also feel myself sliding around in the saddle got back up ride a bit .. i didnt feel secure Anyone else with dealt with slippery breeches.

I made some bridle attachments for halloween and they turned out so cute! It was surprisingly easy to do with some wire, paper, and velcro, and I can't wait to make some more next halloween😜
