We have all been there at one point. We have tried We have all been there at one point. We have tried something new and it didn't go as well as we had hoped. So we have avoided doing it ever since. But one bad experience doesn't mean it will only ever be bad and we could actually be missing out on so much.  If the first time you and your horse meet a certain type of gate out hacking and its a bit of a disaster, you might then decide to avoid all routes with that sort of gate or perhaps gates alltogether. But you could be missing out on some beautiful routes would could be the perfect hack for your horse.  Just because you have been avoiding those routes doesn't mean its too late to give them ago. Go with a friend who can help with the gates and slowly practice going through the gates. Then there will be no drama about them in the future and you can enjoy all that hacking.  #equestrianbloggers #blogger #horseblogger #equineblogger

I just love this guy! Earlier this week I set our I just love this guy!  Earlier this week I set ourselves a challenge of competing in an online longrein dressage class at the end of the month. The aim of this was to give me a bit more direction in our longreining.  The test I have found is a bit challenging, 10m circles in trot and lots of center lines! ๐Ÿ˜ฑ But he is looking the soundest he has done in ages. So in prep of getting back on I want him to do a bit more work and see if he is still comfortable.  3 days ago, any time I had asked him to trot on the longrein, it had ended up with him going a bit too fast and then freaking out that I am running behind him and then a circle of death on one line at full speed wondering why I would be so horrible as to chase him!  This morning we mastered trotting down the Longside, a probably 12m circle at B, back down the Longside and walking. On both reins multiple times! He is just a super star.  #equestrianbloggers #blogger #horseblogger #equineblogger

Whorls and personality. I just stumbled on a real Whorls and personality.  I just stumbled on a really interesting post on Facebook about the position of your horses whorl and what this means for their personality. (I have shared it on my Facebook page if you are interested!)  But I've drawn on Scottie's face to look at the positioning of his whorl. It is above eye level, what means he is smart, energetic and outgoing.  #equestrianbloggers #blogger #horseblogger #equineblogger  #horsesofinstagram #thoroughbred #thoroughbredsofinstagram #exracehorse #exracehorsesofinstagram #ottb #ottbofinstagram #chestnuthorse #chestnutgelding #chestnutthoroughbred #whorl #personality
