Getting a better extension on the Jambette

Canter, Saffy's most favourite gait EVER!

The Importance of Magnesium Supplementation

We've just discovered how important it is to keep Saff on the Mg.


Last weeks 'excitement' at canter was one thing but this Saturday she just completely disconnected under saddle, was spooky and generally had brain fry, it was pointless trying to school her as she was just a spook on legs.


She bashed poor Emma in the lip with her head doing one of her 'levade spins' (too lazy to spin properly) and generally regressed to pre Mg days.


Hopefully trying to get her back onto the Mg consistently will help ... fingers crossed! The awful thing was that she was a complete angel on Thursday but just couldn't cope on Saturday :o

It doesn't always go to plan though .....

Her canter transition can be a bit 'whoopee'

And she doesn't like the 'scary' end of the school

Training the jambette/Spanish Walk

We use clicker training for all of her work which makes it a lot easier to teach new stuff :)

We started off with jambette and then progressed it to Spanish Walk (but more of that later :) ).
