This year has certainly been much quieter than I anticipated but it did provide me with a lot more spare time to focus on my training. Yes, I rode my horses’ daily but I’m talking about my ‘training’. I’m talking ‘Rider Fitness’. When was the last time you sat in the saddle and took the session to really focus on your position? Are you sitting evenly in the saddle, or does your weight tend to shift to one side? Are you heavier in one stirrup? Do you switch your core on when you ride? These are just a few points to look for. I’ve been fortunate enough to train once per week with an exercise phy ..read more

The day I wouldn’t wish upon anybody By Ella Vizer My horse Crystal and I had big plans for 2022. I planned on doing the 1.10m rounds, I wanted to win a rug and most importantly I wanted to build an even bigger bond with her.
