When your retired showjumper feels like polework got too boring ⚡️

His name is Pinehill :3

I had physio today and while things are improving, they are improving s-l-o-w-l-y 🐌. My shoulder blade is now the problem, with the way my collarbone has healed pulling my shoulder blade forward. This means my movement is limited, and my shoulder muscles are doing more work than they should and getting tired. The solution for this right now is "think about your shoulder blade". Later it might involve tape. Hopefully it does not involve surgery (pretty please).

I can ride now for 20-30 minutes. Which is an improvement. But it's hard, I have to fight against tipping forward to compensate for my arm not wanting to he held out in front of me, my balance is off, and I'm tentative because I physically couldn't deal well with anything going wrong. Our groundwork is going well though. I'm using a little bit of very defined positive reinforcement and he responds so well to it. Being very deliberate about when I'm using it also means I'm avoiding pushy nippy behaviour. He's backing up 5 steps at a time in a straight line now, and learning to bring his head down on cue. Hopefully this will help with me being able to tack up on my own again soon. His polework on the ground is good too. We made a bit of a mess of it under saddle tonight though.

Normally if I'm stressed and I can't ride I walk my worries away. Rhu and I have managed some longer walks, but without Mango they aren't having the same impact. I find myself looking forward to summer and long adventures, but then I get hit by the ton of bricks that when those adventures start again it'll be because Mango is dead. And that's much worse.

There's a leak in my bathroom that I can't get anyone to fix, because it'll mean taking the whole bathroom apart, and while that's fine, a new bathroom was always the plan this year, no one has the time to put it back together again. So I just have a leak in my bathroom. My dishwasher has been broken for months. That I could get fixed, but I just don't have the functionality left to get it sorted.

It's fine. This will all pass, it'll become a memory, I will come out the other side. I'm going for coffee this weekend with a friend. In a few weeks I get to see my very best friend, and we're going to Crufts. But dammit I'm running out of resilience and please can I just catch a break?

Mango and Rhu tax, for anyone who read that. They had the exact right response to the Union AGM this afternoon

ride 4 or 5 of the season, we've finally managed to stop needing to run around like a llama in the canter and have remembered how to use our back and neck properly.

Of course she's still going around on a 14' stride... but I can loosen the reins and she doesn't just peace the fuck out, so that's nice.

I'm going to try to get out more now that the weather is nicer, and start doing some more polework now that we have re-established we know how to function.

ACTIVITY 3.12.23

On this training we did some polework and focused on constant contact between me and my horse. The training was going very well until the poles in canter when I found it difficult to collaborate with my horse.

Hi guys! My lesson yesterday on Pep was really fun and I learned and did so much! I got to help groom and tack up, and lead Pep out to the arena gate before getting on. We also got to do some fun exercises with the poles and cavalettis, practice 20 meter circles again, and I learned how to do a serpentine. It was only supposed to be three parts but I got too enthusiastic and did five instead 😂 Oh well, at least now I know what I did wrong. I must say that I’m doing much better with my hands too! After the lesson I helped untack and gave Pep some treats and kisses. He did great with all the new things and listened so well! I’m super proud of him 💗🐴 . #horse #horses #horsesofinstagram #equine #equines #equestrian #paraequestrian #dressage #paradressage #paradressagerider #equineassistedtherapy #therapeuticriding #pep #quarterhorse #goodboy #learningnewthings #serpentine #20metercircle #polework #teamlch #quantumleapfarm #teamworkmakesthedreamwork #thefutureisbright #strongereveryday #cp #cerebralpalsy #disabledbutnotreally (at Quantum Leap Farm, Inc.) https://www.instagram.com/p/B5QGirLHEyV/?igshid=4bts9tul2w3l

January Ultimate Exercise - "Figure Of Death"

January Ultimate Exercise – “Figure Of Death”

Wow!! What a reaction to our first “Ultimate series” exercise! It looks like we weren’t the only ones looking to up our game & get right back into work for the New Year!

This weeks exercise, now that you have hopefully mastered the trot we decided to focus in on our canter work. Luckily for me I have both Coco & Dante to trial this exercise on and what a difference both of them gave me!

Keep…

Pole workouts are the best workouts.
