Stay Calm and Carry on...

Stay Calm and Carry on... - Fetlox

It’s quite nerve-racking entering the show ring, whether you are a seasoned professional or amateur rider.  When you think of how many hours and how much effort it takes to get there, and the pressure we put on ourselves to avoid failure.  

 

But failure we believe is positive because you have something to work with, something to learn from and to continue to build on.  

 

Horses are animals at the end of the day are much like us they have good and bad days, but as riders, we should try and set up for success.  

 

This can be done as follows: -

 

  • Training – a good balance of training, at home and away, to give a positive experience for both you and your horse
  • Checking your equipment is right for your horse, the right bit, bridle & saddle can make a significant difference to a horse, so play around with what works, seek professional help if in doubt
  • We are great advocates for working with a good equine physio, think of your horse as an athlete they would see a physio, so why not your horse?
  • Other things to consider, does your horse become distracted whilst in the show ring, there are so many things going on, it’s hardly surprising and here is where we have some products that may help to maintain focus.

SYNOVIUM CALMINGARD ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Review

Sophie Quinton This is by far the best calmer I have ever used on my horse! He’s a 19 year old section D x tb who finds life far too exciting! But thanks to the calmingard syringes he is a different horse. He used to be very stressy at a show and trying to get him ready would be a nightmare, he would try and nip, he wouldn’t stand still and was just generally not nice to be with! Then in the ring he would often buck into canter or an extension and threw away a lot of wins by doing this. But since using the calmingard he is calm, quiet and not stressy. He stands still when getting him ready, is generally a lot nicer to be with and never throws in a buck but he still has plenty of presence and performance to do the job! We’ve had some amazing results since using this!!
