June
4th Riding Biomechanics
We
had the most wonderful presentation on the biomechanics
of riding by Janice Hutchison, an accredited 'Ride
with your Mind' Instructor. There were 6 riders
participating and some spectators. All were included
in the discussions and explanations and vbideo
playback. The riders were a great mixture of levels
and 'body shapes'. Janice showed ways for all
to change something which was well evidenced in
the going of the horse.
It highlighted that one size does not fit all
and she gave each person something to help them
towards the ideal model. Particular attention
was paid to the use of core muscles.
INSPIRATIONAL
We
will hold more clinics with her in August 4th/5th/6th
( dates to be confirmed) and October 8th/9th.
If you are interested please get in touch soon
as spaces will go rapidly. This lady is something
special. |

Horse Agility Workshop Sunday 17th April :
Vanessa
Bee was an inspiration on how to work with your
horse. Everything was geared to preparing
to work your horse loose which meant that you
really needed to get your horse to want to be
with you.
A long time was spent on the feel of the rope
and synchronising with your horse. People worked
in pairs - one the horse and one the handler!
Vanessa
stressed that leading well was the key to everything.
Can you stop, go and change pace with a totally
loose rope. It cecomes a dance with your horse.
People
went away with lots of ideas to practice with
their horse. |
April
2nd
Just back from the first long trip in the new lorry
all the the way to the first vaulting Selection
trial at Bishop Burton near Hull. The horses, Rudi,
Gren and Max from Kinross Group, travelled brilliantly
and came out really fresh. Eagles vaulters performed
really well with Molly winning the under 14 class
and Steph coming 3rd in a hot selection class. The
Intermediate team went very well to come 2nd. |
| Fantastic
result for the first Horse Agility Taster Day ever
held in Scotland. The competition was won by our
very own Pavanne handled by Bobbie Coleman, the
lovely lady who has Jupiter on loan. Tremendous
turn out of spectators helped make the day a great
success. Press
release |
The
EEAC is getting geared up to run Horse
Agility training and competition
days. This will be the first centre in Scotland
to offer this. It is a marvellous opportunity
to give focus to the work started in Parelli classes.
It is all about improving your communication with
your horse through ground skills and this gives
people a chance to show case their skills in a
competitive environment if they wish.
It is all about having FUN and being safe.
All
results are sent to the Horse Agility Club of
Great Britain who enter them on a league table.
For
more info please visit. To attend a training or
competition day it is necessary to register yourself
and your horse with the Horse Agility Club of
GB .(
not expensive)

An HGV 18 ton lorry has recently been purchased
capable of taking 5 horses. Her first outing to
Gleneagles dressage in November 2010, with 4 horses
on board, was a great success. Pat won the Advanced
class with Rusty and Kathryn was first in the
Elementary section on Sam. Pavanne gained a 6th
place in the Novice class.
The horses gave the lorry the thumbs up despite
torrential rain all evening. The humans enjoyed
the Chilli con Carne!!
This
will be available if livery horses wish to join

Parelli
Course
The latest Parelli course with Rachael
Morland In September was another resounding success.
The first day was unmounted and allowed people to
have time to try out simulations giving time to
think and feel. On the second and third day there
were 6 participants with a diverse range of horses.
All showed great improvement by the end. |
Parelli

Equine
Assisted Learning
A
Group of Youth workers spent a day discovering
that horses are not so different from people.
The gang (horses) at Easterton had a great day
'doing something different' from vaulting or
trying to help people learn to ride better.
This was all about personal development and
team work using the horses in very different
ways. Under the careful eye of Beth Duff from
Aberdeen, the Group of 21 young people were
split into groups of three and then played lots
of different games with the horses.
They
quickly realised that horses had as different
personalities as people, some requiring motivating
and others needing to calm down. Great fun was
had finishing with egg an spoon races with the
horses.
