			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Caring for horses requires a lot of time and patience. It also can be a very big expense. You need to buy feed and have them regularly checked by a veterinarian. Some of the equipment needed can be expensive also. Make sure you know what you are getting into before you get a horse especially if you have not spent a lot of time around them. You should be willing to take on the responsibility.</p>
<p>Before you buy one, you should find out if it is going to have to be broke. It is important to know whether or not it will bite or have any other bad habits. A horse that is going to act up should not be purchased by someone who has not had much experience with them. It can be dangerous if you are not sure on how to to deal with the problem.</p>
<p>Some kinds of horses also need more care than other ones. They may need a special diet which can cost more also. A diet higher in protein may be needed. A horse should not be fed just whatever you have, they need to be fed the correct amount of everything just like a person.</p>
<p>Pasture size is very important. There needs to be enough room for them and enough grass to eat. They also need some place to get out of the cold or the rain also. It is important that these are safe without sharp things or anything they can get caught on also. All horses will act up at some point. They can get scared and get hurt if there are dangers in the barn or pasture.</p>
<p>Feeding a variety of things is the best. Grain is needed and so is grass and hay. The size of your horse and their activity level will determine how much they need to be fed. If you do not know, then a veterinarian will be able to answer your questions. What kind of activities will also determine the food that it eats.</p>
<p>It also important to make sure that your horse get their hooves trimmed regularly. A horse that does not get this done can have a lot of problems. Their feet will be sore and they may not eat properly because it hurts them to walk to their food so they do not eat. They may also lie down and that alone can cause more problems.</p>
<p>Keeping their stall clean is also important. Clean them regularly so that they do not contract any diseases. Insects are bad enough when they are clean but they will be worse if they are not kept clean.</p>
<p>The horse will have to be bathed regularly too. They also need regular brushing to keep them looking good. It will keep their hair healthy also. Mites can get into their ears also and it is important to watch for these. A horse has to depend on you to get them their food and water so make sure you are able to supply everything that they need before you obtain one.</p>
<p>Now that you know how much care horses take, you may be inclined to just visit with a horse rather than owning one. Kids especially should have that opportunity. There are several great <a href='http://www.sandiegokidsactivities.com/summercamps.html' target='_blank'>horseback riding summer camps in San Diego</a> where kids can learn to ride and participate in the care of the animals. Even during the school year there are many places to take <a href='http://www.orangecountykidsactivities.com/horsebackriding.html' target='_blank'>horseback riding classes in orange county</a>.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Experts consider that the origins of Welsh cobs existed before 1600 BC. The earliest Welsh Mountain Pony is thought to have evolved from the prehistoric Celtic pony. Welsh ponies were primarily developed in Wales and their ancestors existed prior to the arrival of the Romans. Herds of undomesticated ponies would wander the mountainous and moorland terrains of Wales. In this harsh and at times bitter climate with little shelter and fodder, they developed into an exceptionally hardy breed. At some point in their development, the breed had some Arabian blood added, although this did not take away the physical characteristics that make this breed so unique. In 1901, the original registry for the ponies was established in the United Kingdom, and in 1907 another registry was established in the United States. Interest in the breed declined during the Great Depression, but revived in the 1950s.During its history, the Welsh Pony has had lots of uses, including as a cavalry horse, a pit pony, <a href='http://www.horseandponyshopuk.com' target='_blank'>welsh slate</a> mining and as a working animal on farms.</p>
<p>Origins of the Welsh Cob existed in the middle ages, and are described in medieval Welsh literature. They were fast, good jumpers and could carry heavy loads and because of this were used on the upland farms of Wales, and would do everything from ploughing fields, carrying product to marketplace and transporting the family to and from the neighboring village and chapel services on Sunday. When coal and welsh slate mining grew to become important to the economy of Wales and England, lots of Welsh ponies were harnessed for use in mines, above and below ground.</p>
<p>Today the breed registries for the Welsh pony has four sections, chiefly distinguished by height, but also by slight variations in type as follows: the Welsh mountain pony, the Welsh pony, the Welsh pony of cob type, and the Welsh Cob. The great thing with the breed is that as well as being exceptionally hardy, they are recognized for their good temperament and as a result are a popular children&#8217;s pony. Today the breed is used by <a href='http://www.horseandponyshopuk.com' target='_blank'>horse and pony</a>, both for pleasure riding and in show contests, participating in numerous equestrian disciplines. The Welsh Cob crosses well with many other breeds and has influenced the development of many British and American horse and pony breeds.</p>
<p>Wales is home to numerous welsh pony and cob studs, that  tend to be manned by enthusiastic and passionate owners and staff who are fully commited to the perpetuation and development of the breed. There are many shows where the breeder’s passion is displayed by the turnout of wonderful looking ponies which are in great condition and a credit to the origins of the breed. When in Wales, the pleasure of seeing these creatures roaming the farms and pastures in their natural surroundings warms the heart and recognition must go to the enthusiasts who continue to conserve the breed.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>If you’re looking into strengthening your horse and enhancing their stamina, the trick is to start early. Special formulated milk substitutes are available for foals particularly those that have been orphaned. Adult horses could sometimes reject their young and it&#8217;d not be possible for proper nourishment to be delivered to the foal as a result this could lead to the death of the foal. The requirement for supplementing the original nourishment could be done with the assistance of products like ePro Foal Starter Plus. The milk is packed with energy giving nutrients like protein, fat, vitamins and minerals that completes the nutritional components of the milk of the mare. Higher levels of protein are found in ePro®.</p>
<p>Protein contains amino acids that are needed by the tissues of the body to function well. For the horses to grow sturdy, 10 essential amino acids are required. ePro Foal Starter Plus has all of the 10 important amino acids for horse nutrition like arginine, isoleucine, leucine, lysine, methionine, threonine, histidine, valine and trypthopan. These amino acids can’t be easily formed in the usual meals of mares and foals, which is why it is necessary to benefit from the promising effects that the product contains.</p>
<p>The milk substitute also has antioxidants at adequate levels so as to sustain normal body growth and functions of the horse. The ePro® Foal Starter Plus is so innovative and promising; it also contains inulin, an organic sugar supplement created in plants. Inulin is essential to produce enough helpful bacteria in the digestive system of the foal to maintain equilibrium in the micro flora that helps lessen the chances for scouring.</p>
<p>Due to the highly digestible components which milk substitute contains, it works fast. It can be absorbed and used by the foal after various hours of consumption. Utilizing the product would help you save money. It will ensure productivity and most of all the safety and health of growing foals. So as to have the best we even need to utilize the best products and tools available to us.</p>
<p>You can make sure of reducing possible developmental risks later on which would hinder the chances of having champion breeds, by improving the quality of nutrients that your horses can consume.</p>
<p>Ensure to provide the foal fresh water daily and ensure to have soft hay at two weeks of age. As the body weight increases on a regular basis, increase the creep feed gradually.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Well, It can be a nightmare. I found a handy company called http://www.equicab.co.cc. http://www.equicab.co.cc.co.cc who realy do put your horse first. They were professional and safe. </p>
<p>.http://www.equicab.co.cc.co.cc loaded my horse safely, they are fully insured for such things as well.<br />
Their lorry was in good condition and fully type approved. The friendly chap who took charge of my horse told me they are fully licensed with DEFRA.<br />
I had a look at ://www.equicab.co.cc.co.cc and found that they comply with all UK and EC legislation which was good. &#8211; oh and tbhey have a back-up at http://equicab.limewebs.com.</p>
<p>Anyway, the journey was undertaken by a carefull driver and we arrived safely. It was good to know I was in safe hands. My horse came out of the lorry in a good mood, so it must have been a good journey.</p>
<p>It was not a bad show either, I was really proud of my horse after his journey in the back of the http://www.equicab.co.cc lorry, he turned like a star in the ring and looked really smart. We came second so it really was worth the effort. I was proud as punch and I know he was too, I could see the twinkle in his eye as I gave him an apple &#8220;look what I done!&#8221; he was saying tin the only way he can. But I think he is allowed that after such a good turn</p>
<p>It was really nice because when I was at the show the driver of http://www.equicab.co.cc stayed around and waited for me to finish. This was not expensive either, really very reasonable. I would say cheap but that sounds tacky, very reasonable I would say.</p>
<p>After tbe show I gave my horse to the http://www.equicab.co.cc driver to load on to his lorry. After a small hesitation &#8211; after which the driver spoke gently and reassuringly to my horse, he walked up the ramp and settled in with his net of hay. Really quite at home as the door was shut again. </p>
<p>The journey back was as smooth as the outward leg. We arrived back to the neigh&#8217;s from the field. The other horses were really happy to see mine back again.</p>
<p>The http://www.equicab.co.cc driver unloaded my horse and made sure he was in good health, this was really nice &#8211; the driver checking over my horse fully. This really was good service from a good transport company close to where I live in Redruth, always good to have a yokel as we say in these parts! Seriously, it was really good to have someone who knew about horses and how to deal with them calmly.</p>
<p>Hats off to Andy, the driver and all at <a href='http://www.equicab.co.cc' target='_blank'>horse transport cornwall lorry safe tack saddle equine equestrian 510 4&#215;4</a><br />

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Purchsing a horse is not a simple matter.  Sure, it may be your dream come true, but you want to make sure your dream does not become a nightmare.  buying  the wrong  of horse, a badly trained horse, or a horse with lameness or other medical issuesproblems can quickly drain your checking account.</p>
<p>Here are a few <a href='http://squidoo.com/horse-buying-tips' target='_blank'>horse buying tips</a> I learned the hard way.</p>
<p>#1<br />
Decide what you want to do with your horse.  Are you planning to do Western sports, such as roping or reining?  Do you enjoy jumping or cross country?  Are you into dressage?  Or are you simply hoping to take your horse riding on the trails?  Although all breeds can often be versatile enough to do some or all of these activities, some breeds have distinct type of conformation which make them more appropriate for certain sports.  For example, quarter horses are great at at reining, while Arabians are hard to beat at endurance trail riding.  So decide what you want to do, and research which breed best fits the bill.</p>
<p>#2<br />
Buy locally whenever possible.   You do not want to buy through the internet, sight unseen!  If you have to take a plane to see the horse, then do that.  However, if you have any options locally, those are the best, for the simple reason that you can see and ride the horse more than once.  It can take several visits to get a feel for a horse and to decide whether it is the right one for you.  </p>
<p>#3<br />
Look for the right personality in your horse.  For example, if you are looking for a pleasure horse to take long, quiet] rides through the country side, then make sure the horse you are trying out has a quiet demeanor.  Buying a hot-blooded or high strung horse will turn your pleasant rides into fights to control your horse.</p>
<p>On the other hand, if you want to gallop through the woods or do sports that involve speed and excitement, then that hot-blooded or high strung horse might be just the perfect one for you.</p>
<p>#4<br />
Buyer beware.  Look for signs that the seller may not be totally honest.  Some dishonest people may give the horse pain medicine or ice the horse’s legs down to hide lameness.   They may try to hide training problems by riding the horse in a tie-down or martingale.  Insist on seeing the horse without these aids.  </p>
<p>The best way to be sure that the seller is honest is by talking to people.  Talk to horse owners, veterinarians and trainers to find reputable people to buy from.</p>
<p>#5<br />
Obtain a pre-purchase exam by a knowledgeable horse veterinarian.  The sellers may be completely honest and may be unaware of conditions such as subtle lameness or health issues such as heart murmurs.</p>
<p>#6<br />
Don’t rush. You may have to look at a fair amount of horses before the right one comes along.  Do not let your desire for a horse drive you to buy one that is not perfect for you.  And I do not mean that the horse itself must be perfect.  There are probably no perfect horses.  They all have flaws, just like people, either in their conformation, training or personality.  However, you still have to <a href='http://squidoo.com/horse-buying-tips' target='_blank'>buy a horse</a> that is perfect for you, and generally you will know it instinctively when you find one.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Founded in 2004 at the  esteemed  BioCity Nottingham Innovation Centre,  PED Ltd  is the Reference Lab for a new type of test, Biogenic Amine Ratio or BARTM.</p>
<p>The company was set up to progress research into the root  cause  of  increased laminitis susceptibility  and won the Sneinton Business Forum Award for Innovation.</p>
<p>Metabolic conditions associated with <a href='http://www.pegasusdiagnostics.com/owner3.php' target='_blank'>the horrific condition laminitis</a> are life-threatening and commonly seen worldwide.   PED ’s innovation is to identify  ‘biomarkers’  for imbalances in the body which occur  with age  and provide ways to measure the imbalances and help maintain health in the  equine .  This work has led to the formulation of <a href='http://www.pegasusdiagnostics.com/lamintec.php' target='_blank'>LaminTec 5-HT TM</a>, an innovative equine feed supplement maintaining circulatory health.</p>
<p>LaminTec 5-HT™:<br />
• Suitable for horses and ponies prone to  chronic laminitis , those with conditions such as  PPID  or metabolic syndrome or where owners are worried about a laminitis risk associated with weight gain and/or periods of high grass growth (spring and autumn). Can be fed all year round.</p>
<p>• Different from other products –  supported  by published science &#8211; includes a unique natural ingredient. </p>
<p>•   May   help to decrease obesity; helpful for the &#8216;good doer&#8217;, fat cob, Shetland, Shire or other types of horse which  gain  weight easily.</p>
<p>• Feverfew is known to help balance body systems and assist in maintaining healthy circulation.</p>
<p>• Easy to use and good value (over 1 months supply per pot).</p>
<p>•  Trialled with  veterinary clients and horse sanctuaries. </p>
<p>• Flavoured with natural aniseed &#8211; very palatable to the horse.</p>
<p>The company has had an excellent response from customers:<br />
Jasper is a 15 year old shire x TB who developed laminitis in June 2009.  By the end of July his soles were paper thin and his pedal bone had come through; he was given a 50/50 chance of survival.  Jasper’s owner, Bridget, started him on LaminTec 5-HT™ and along with dedicated work from herself, her vet and farrier they were able to bring him back:<br />
“It is truly a miracle to have such a large horse make such a remarkable recovery and I genuinely think that without this we would have lost Jasper.  Jasper’s feet and condition began to change for the better when I introduced the LaminTec, I will never take him off it; I truly feel you have made a breakthrough and cannot thank you enough.” Mrs Southern</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p> Pegasus Equine Diagnostics Ltd  Wins Industry Award:<br />
 PED’s  recently launched innovation in the horse feed supplement market, LaminTec 5-HT™, has won a British Equestrian Trade Association (BETA) International 2010 Innovation Award, in the Feeds &amp; Supplements category.  The company is the Reference Lab for a new type of  test profile , Biogenic Amine Ratio or BAR™ and was set up to  further  research into the root cause/s of  increased susceptibility to laminitis .</p>
<p> Metabolic conditions associated with <a href='http://www.pegasusdiagnostics.com/owner3.php' target='_blank'>reoccurring laminitis</a> are life-threatening and commonly seen worldwide. P.E.D®’s  aim  is to identify ‘biomarkers’ for imbalances in the body which occur  over time  and provide ways to  measure  the imbalances and help maintain health in the <a href='http://www.pegasusdiagnostics.com/index.php' target='_blank'>equine</a>. </p>
<p>In 2008/9  Pegasus Equine Diagnostics Ltd  successfully carried out a voluntary feed trial with  an equine charity , an  equine  sanctuary in Bristol, and clients of veterinary practices.  This  involved  a formulation containing  feverfew herb , intended to support  normal  functioning of the horse’s  physical  and  blood.  </p>
<p>Feverfew (Tanacetum parthenium) is a  natural  herb commonly found in temperate climates and an ingredient of LaminTec 5-HT™.  It has been traditionally used in the treatment of human migraine and has been used medicinally since the first century A.D.   The useful part of this herb is thought to be a substance called Parthenolide, a sesquiterpene lactone.  Feverfew has anti-inflammatory properties, due to its inhibitory effects on  5-HT  release and platelet aggregation.  Additionally, serotonin (found in blood platelets) is an inflammatory mediator and is  thought  to be a causal factor in  inflammatory hoof problems  at if freely circulating in the blood at high levels.</p>
<p>When feeding a particular supplement, the formulation is important; the ingredients should be ‘standardised’ so that the same amounts (at the same strengths) are present in each batch.<br />

 Chronic laminitis  is a  complex   subject  and probably the most  feared  condition in the equestrian world.   Many  people associated with  ponies  in an owning or professional capacity agree on the signs and implications of the  condition  but few agree on the causes and mechanisms behind it.  Laminitis research is an ever growing field with new theories ‘popping up like daisies’ in recent years; in many ways this is positive element, however, things are  changing  so  quickly  that theories are often quickly disregarded. Many of us may be familiar with this in family life, e.g. a particular vitamin supplement being ‘all the rage’ only to fall out of favour with warnings about its use later!  More  funding  is needed for research; will there ever be one ‘correct answer’ for  an increased susceptibility to  laminitis?  </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>You are getting ready to ride your horse, go on a trail ride, take them to a show, or it has been raining. You discover your horse has been &#8220;rolling in the mud.&#8221; If it hasn&#8217;t happened to you yet, sooner or later you&#8217;ll get a surprise at the worst time. I have seven beautiful Paint Horses or, most of the time they are beautiful. When they roll in mud, it is not a very pretty sight to see and if neglected for an extended period of time, it will have undesirable effects on your horse&#8217;s mane, coat and skin. I live in Texas, in an area where the soil is a black-clay so when it rains, the soil becomes deep, sticky and very muddy.</p>
<p>Once my horses roll, because they are wet, they turn black instead of their natural color which is mostly white. This is what I do to keep them groomed, <a href='http://paintsoftexas.com' target='_blank'>grooming horses</a> not only for their skin condition, but to look really good. Friends often ask me &#8220;how do you keep those horses so shining.&#8221; The <br />
answer is simple&#8230; I clean them regularly. Now it is time, not only to groom your horse, but to give them a bath first.Simply brushing the horse only removes some of the dirt and the remaining dirt and dust is unhealthy to their coat and skin. Your horse should always have a healthy diet for that natural shine to their coat. If you groom and/or bath your horse and they still have a dull coat, you should make sure they are getting a healthy and proper diet.</p>
<p>You will need <a href='http://www.paintsoftexas.com/bathing/grooming' target='_blank'>grooming horses</a> supplies. Buying online products are cheaper, even with shipping and offer discounts. You don&#8217;t have to get the most expensive brands to groom your horse either. You will need the following:</p>
<p>1. Shampoo &#8211; Suave™ &#8212; Inexpensive (buy at local grocery store) or, use Vetrolin Bath™ as it is not that expensive and a little goes a long way &#8212; It contains PABA Sunscreen (buy on-line).</p>
<p>2. Conditioner &#8211; Suave™ &#8212; Buy this at your local grocery store&#8230; very inexpensive or use Vetrolin Conditioner™ as it is not that expensive and a little goes a long way. It contains PABA Sunscreen (buy on-line).</p>
<p>3. A good detangler &#8211; Survivor Detangler™ by Eqyss &#8212; Expensive but well worth it. Great for the Mane and Tail and it smells wonderful (buy on-line).</p>
<p>4. Sheen (optional) &#8211; If you really want your horse to have a brilliant shine, you can use a &#8220;ready to use&#8221; spray such as Vetrolin Sheen™ (buy on-line).</p>
<p>You want your equipment to last so it&#8217;s best to spend a little extra in this area. If it&#8217;s really cheap, there is usually a reason.Here are some suggestions:</p>
<p>1. A comb for your horses mane and tail (buy on-line)</p>
<p>2. A regular curry brush (buy on-line).</p>
<p>3. A good rubber curry comb. Using the rubber curry comb to lather your horse will give them a great message. (buy on-line).</p>
<p>4. A good brush for when the horse is dry &#8211; Pick one that will feel good to your horse (buy on-line).</p>
<p>5. Electric clippers &#8211; I use all Oster™ products because they last forever (buy locally or on-line) Used to clip bridal paths, chin hair, ears but it&#8217;s not natural to cut a horses mane or tail. These are best combed out with brush or detangler.</p>
<p>Now that I have everything I need, I put all my stuff in a horse bucket that I can carry around (except the clippers).</p>
<p>Location &#8211; Pick a spot where you can tie your horse and have a water hydrant and hose long enough to avoid getting their legs tangled-up in the hose. Try to avoid bathing in area that will become muddy during your horses bath. It&#8217;s easiest to use a variable sprayer for your hose, of the garden variety.</p>
<p>1.Wet the entire horse down, starting in the rear and working your way forward and around the other side. When you wet their heads and, avoid spraying them directly in the face. Using the &#8220;mist&#8221; selection on the sprayer works really well from about 18&#8243; away from the face and spray upwards and allow the mist to settle gently on their faces. This will minimize your horse&#8217;s resistance to getting their faces sprayed.</p>
<p>2. Once your horse is wet, you can begin to apply the shampoo using the rubber curry brush, creating a good lather, and giving them a nice massage. Most horses really enjoy this part once they get used to being wet. Wait until the very end to apply any shampoo to the facial area in case your horse gets soap in their <br />
eyes. You don&#8217;t want to try bathing them with their eyes full of soap. When applying to the face, use a sponge, a mildly soapy rag, or even your hands.</p>
<p>3. Rinse well and message, with rubber curry, to get out any remaining shampoo and spot clean any dirty areas still visible</p>
<p>4. Apply the conditioner and leave it on for a few minutes. Again, wait to apply to your horse&#8217;s face last, with your sponge, instead of the hose.</p>
<p>5. Rinse your horse thoroughly with the &#8220;shower&#8221; setting on your sprayer but, use the &#8220;mist&#8221; setting to rinse your horses head.</p>
<p>6. Use a squidgy to get most of the water off by starting at the upper neck and working your way down to the hooves.</p>
<p>7. Spray the horse with Vetrolin Sheen™. Do not spray the sheen to the horses back if you plan to ride the horse because it is too slippery and will cause your saddle to slip.</p>
<p>8. Apply the de-tangler to the mane and tail with your hands. Comb out the mane and tail, starting at the bottom and work your way toward the roots.</p>
<p>9. Tie your horse in a dry spot until they are totally dry. The last thing you want is to have your horse roll while wet and ruin your efforts.</p>
<p>Grooming does not have to be a problem. When it rains, I try to wash one horse a day until they are all clean and I wait until after the weather dries out for a day or two before I begin. Once they are clean, brushing them every day or two will keep them quite clean. Of course you don&#8217;t want to over bathe your horse as this will dry out their skin by removing <br />
all the natural oils necessary for a healthy coat. Bathing them every other month is sufficient unless &#8220;Mother Nature&#8221; gets involved.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Equestrian riders and horse trainers utilize a combination of influences in which to communicate with their horses. Equestrian tradition refers to these as &#8220;aids&#8221; which are subdivided into two basic categories, &#8220;natural&#8221; and &#8220;artificial&#8221; aids.</p>
<p>Natural aids are those that direct the horse by means of just the rider&#8217;s body, which include the legs, shifting of body weight, the hands, and a proper balanced &#8220;seat&#8221; often referred to in many Equestrian circles as an &#8220;independent seat&#8221;. Riding crops, spurs, reins and bits are the most conventionally utilized artificial aids which are customarily used in correlation with natural aids.</p>
<p>The Seat:</p>
<p>We start out with the rider&#8217;s seat because it&#8217;s the most important required before you can move on to the next level of efficiently being able to communicate with your horse. Having an independent or balanced seat means being able to keep in time with your horse as they move and turn, without  having to rely upon the reins for balance or clinching with your legs to stay on the horse. The rider ultimately sits on the horse without any tension in the body. It&#8217;s also important the rider is able to retain their center of gravity over the horse and go with forward flow and absorb the upward movement of the horse to minimize bouncing on the horse&#8217;s back. It is all about being able to maintain the correct position along with proper control over your own body in order to effectively communicate with the horse.</p>
<p>The Riders Legs:</p>
<p>A riders legs are fundamentally a driving aid that prompts the horse to move. For the most part a rider&#8217;s legs should always remain unpresumptuously against the horse&#8217;s sides. The rider then persuades the horse by using the lower legs with just the required amount of pressure and by applying the pressure to either one side of the horse with one leg, or with two legs simultaneously on both sides of the horse. A horse naturally always moves away from the pressure. Basically, by applying pressure with one leg to just one side of the horse&#8217;s side encourages him to move sideways, so if you apply pressure the horse&#8217;s right side, he will move to his left. Applying pressure with both legs most often encourages the horse for more impulsion. The objective is to only apply just the right amount of leg pressure that&#8217;s required to achieve the desired response from the horse. Once you become an advanced rider you can also use spurs to apply pressure for a ore demanding or quicker response from the horse. This is refered to as using &#8220;natural&#8221; and &#8220;artificial&#8221; aids in unison, with your legs being the natural aid and the spurs an artificial aid.</p>
<p>The Rider&#8217;s Body Weight:</p>
<p>Customarily, horses respond to modest weight shifts. The vast majority of riders try to physically lean too much to one side. Bending their upper body too far sideways and breaking the plane of the spine at the waist is a common fault. combination with neck reining will really cue the horse to move in the appropriate direction. This is using &#8220;natural&#8221; and &#8220;artificial&#8221; aids in unison to get a more potent response without being over demanding with either one so you aren&#8217;t irritating or punishing the horse into getting them to respond to your request. The key is to gradually apply only the necessary amount of weight and pressure that&#8217;s required to accomplish your task, no more, no less.</p>
<p>The Rider&#8217;s Hands, Reins and Bit:</p>
<p>The rider&#8217;s hands channel the drive or motion created by the leg aids into light contact with the bit through the reins. It&#8217;s vital that the rider develops a soft touch with their hands, and also have relaxed shoulders, elbows and wrists. The elbows are the fundamental joints that enables soft, elastic bit contact. The elbows should follow the motion of the horse, opening and closing in motion with the rider&#8217;s hips as they rest loosely against the rider&#8217;s sides.</p>
