Winter riding

Hey all you other bloggers,
Today im goingto give you all somme tips on winter riding and what to expect from your horses in the winter months.
First off the colder wether tends to make horses more energetic and somme timese harder to control,your horse will most likely be more hyper when going out foe turn out so me more alert and ready form theme to run at the gate.
Riding:

if you ride with a crop or spurs you might not need theme in the winter beacous the cold wether and the incris in food will make theme more hyper.Also if you are goingto ride outside you should be awaere of ice under the snow and wach to make shur that tere are no snow stoms commeing in.

Finly even if your barn is well inselated you sould blanket your horse if they dont have a thick winter coat or if you have cliped theme.

I was riding harmony in a show a week ago, and in the warmup ring she was all hiper and being bad, she was bucking and runing all over.
So i would just ride the bucks and kinda just let her run it out, i wanted to do at least one jump in my warmup so i liend her up to it at a trot and she brock to a canter and jumped it like it was a 3,3 oxer I was so suprised.

After all that he still had to go do the realy thing and to my supris she was an angel, she was caml and did as i told her, she got she canter on the right lead and did not mack a fus about it, we ended up getin 2e in flat work, 1er in over fenses and 4th in obstical witch got us resurv campion.

riding

Riding a horse is not as easy as people think it is,
it is not a sport for people that dont have determonation or confidence in themself. A good rider will listen to they're horse and respond acordingly,also when a horse and rider are well bonded they will go far together. Riding is alot of realy just conecting with your horse, when riding you want to have alot of contact wiht the bit and good leg contact to tell the horse what you want it to do, wich is why you need to have confidence in your yourself.

Grooming

To groom your horse you will need a curi comb, a hard brush, a sofft brush and i houf pic.
1- wiht the curi brush the horses boddy doing cercles with the curi to get all the durt of the boddy.
2- brush off the durt with the hard brush.
3- go over the horses boddy with the sofft brush to smuth over the coat.
4- with the houf pic pic out all the durt and mud from the foot but dont hit the frog in the center of the foot beacuse it will hurt the horse.

harmony

So last night i was riding my 3 year old dappel gray duch wormblood cross harmony.
I could not have been more happy she is geting her canter leads on her stif side like nothing, i gess practes realy dose make perfect.
To add to the happynes she will be going to her first hunter jummper show on the 16th of this month, she will be in the hunter over saddel so its ok if she hit's the jummp's.

I realy think she is going to do well, she has so much potential and she is realy good with the showing invierment. Her first show ever she was so comfordibal she was rolling in the grass.
