What is the best English horse saddle to ride a horse on?

What is the best English saddle to ride a horse on?

It depends what kind of riding you want to do and your horse’s and your body shape. If you wanted a brand I would say Wintec. They make all-purpose, dressage, jumping, close contact, ect… All of their saddles are made of synthetic leather so they aren’t damaged by the rain and can be cleaned with the hose. They also make synthetic strapping to match the saddles. All of their saddles can be used with the easy change gullet system. To get the instructions and the complete set of gullets it usually cost extra, though not always. This lets you change the width of the saddle to better fit your horse without changing the size of the saddle’s seat. They even have wide width to fit bigger breeds of horses. Most Wintec saddles also come with the cair air panel system. Instead of stuffing the bottom of the saddle they fill it with air so it will fit your horse even better and evenly distribute your weight. Between the cair and the gullet system a Wintec saddle will be very comfy for your horse. It fits so well that Wintec only recommends a thin saddle pad to be used with the saddle. The Wintec saddles are also very very comfy for the rider too. Especially the Wintec 2000. I rode in that one a couple times, and I liked it so much that I will be getting one in the near future! :) Yea! The Wintec 2000, (and maybe the other models) come with blocks that Velcro under the flap so you can adjust the amount and position of the knee roll. All in all Wintecs are very high quality and very comfy for both horse and rider, they are even easy maintenance, light weight, and matching bridles, girths, and other strappings are available.

English Disciplines – Dressage

When thinking of dressage the first thing that often comes to mind are the incredible efforts of the riders in the Olympic dressage ring each Summer Olympics. What many people don’t know is that there is a lot more to dressage than just competing at the higher levels.

“Dressage” is actually derived from the French word for “training”. So basically, any training you do with your horse is a form of dressage. From teaching your horse basic aids and transitions to more advanced moves, proper training is the key to dressage.

Any horse can learn dressage. At the lower levels even the most homely pleasure horse can compete successfully. This is because the basics of dressage have nothing to do with how fancy a horse is or how well it moves, but instead are based on good transitions, correct carriage and quality riding. Whether you are looking to compete, or just want better enjoyment from your horse, basic dressage will give you a leg-up in your riding.

At the lowest levels the movements in dressage are very simple. There are even classes set up for horses and riders who are not yet ready to move up from doing walk-trot. Basic tests focus on the walk, trot and canter, simple forms such as 20 meter circles and riding across the diagonal and simple transitions. The tests are judged on how willing the horse is, whether the movements are performed correctly, if the rider is effective in his or her aids and the smoothness of the ride overall.

As you gain experience and show in higher levels things become more difficult. The horse is expected to carry itself in a correct frame, working on the bit and moving forward from its hindquarters. While the basic three gaits are still important, the tests begin to add things like lengthening and shortening stride which gradually progresses to true collection and extension. As the horse progresses, it will be expected to learn lateral movements such as leg yields, half passes, shoulder in and many others. Further training moves into high-collection movements such as piaffe, pirouettes and multiple lead changes.

In the higher levels a horse is expected to be of a higher quality. While in lower levels any horse should be able to perform adequately, the higher levels look for an animal who is a class above the rest. Riders look for horses with superb movement, often with lots of action in the front end. They need to be able to track up from behind so that they can carry themselves in such a way as to free up the front end for higher level movements. Ideally riders seek a horse who naturally is built uphill and who can carry itself in a good frame without being restricted by conformational problems. Most riders prefer a bigger horse of a warmblood-type build, neither overly light, nor heavy.

A good dressage test is a true joy to watch. Horse and rider work together in quiet unity seemingly dancing through the test as though in a private ballet. Indeed, a well ridden Grand Prix test is truly awe inspiring.

Girls New Best Friend: Synthetic Diamond

We all have heard about diamond, some of us might even own one. But how many of us have heard about “synthetic diamond”. Its takes a long time for Mother Nature to create natural diamond from nothing more than carbon. But now with new technology man is able to synthesize diamond in labs. Synthetic diamond does not have the same properties as of a natural diamond. Its quality may be inferior, similar, or even superior according to the technology used to produce it. Since the cost to synthesize it artificially is much less than the cost to mine it, synthetic diamond is more and more used in industrial applications.

Throughout the world there are many attempts to make synthetic diamonds. The earlier attempts failed to produce diamonds. Some succeeded in producing diamond like structures. Even the closest one produced earlier had impurities in them, which renders them a yellow, brown, or blue color. This makes it in-comparable with the original colorless diamond.

Properties:

The crystalline of the synthetic diamond produced using new technologies varies. If we get single continuous diamonds, then they are used as gemstones. But if they have a polycrystalline structure then they are used for industrial applications like mining, cutting tools etc. Diamond is known for its hardness. But now the natural diamonds have a rival. Its new brother- the synthetic diamond-made using new technology like CVD-Chemical Vapor Deposition can be much harder than natural diamonds. Another useful feature of this new technology is that we can control the hardness of the diamond made. No crystal ever made or found is absolutely free of impurities. Same is the case with our synthetic diamond. Anything other than carbon in diamond is considered to be an impurity. But the good thing about this is that, if the impurity present is boron then diamond will have electrical conductivities, which gives us a chance to use it in the new technological applications.

Production Technologies:

There are mainly two new technologies used to produce synthetic carbon, HPHT- High Pressure, High Temperature and CVD- Chemical Vapor Deposition. The common technology used is HPHT, because of its reduced cost. It produces very high pressures using large presses and high temperatures simulating conditions similar to that causes the creation of diamond inside earth. The other technology-CVD, produce diamonds using plasma of carbon atoms and growing it on substrates. This produces pure diamonds but of very low sizes.

Uses and Application:

Diamond is widely used in cutting and mining tools, because of its hardness. They use it to break and grind other substances, while ensuring low wear and tear to their tools. In electronics, diamonds promises to bring new technologies to life. Sine diamond is made up of carbon, if its doped with impurities such as boron or phosphorus, it will have semi-conductor properties. Till today no transistor has been made using diamonds, but there are promising studies which enables us to embed microcircuits in diamonds, which then can work in hostile environment where ordinary silicon cant.

In the field of chemistry, diamond can be used as electrodes, because in certain cases all other alternatives will react with the subject under study. But diamonds made with new technology don’t have this problem.

I donut have to mention the next use. If the synthetic diamond made using new technology has enough quality then it can be used as gem stones. Although new technologies, its very hard to produce to gem quality diamonds. The main problem is impurity, but now diamonds with slight nitrogen impurity produces a yellow tint, which is gaining popularity because of its low cost. The largest synthetic gem quality diamond ever made using new technology was 34 carat yellow stone.

Protect Your Horses Back From Pain

Protect Your Horses Back from Pain

I treat 100s of people for back pain. I have trained 100s of riders to ride and protect their body especially their back from pain. I have treated many horses as well for back pain. It is partly for these reasons that I specialize in developing Horse Riding Equipment for riders.

As Horse Riders we give our horses back pain. The causes of back pain in horses can be all or a combination of the following. We use poor fitting saddles that sit low on their back. A saddle can cause pressure points at thewither and any where along the gullet. The padded part of the saddle can become lop sided from a rider leaning to one side. The stirrups are often not equal length because again riders lean to one side; this creates pressure points in the horses back. We use dirty saddle blankets that are coarse against the skin and we often don’t use enough shock absorbing padding under the saddle. Rugs are another cause of back pain in a horse.

The work we do training our horses is a major cause of back pain. Dressage riders spend hours doing circle work, Jump riders can over jump their horses, endurance riders ride for hours. All of this is fine if we respect fitness and flexibility. The long slow process of training muscle length, strength and function as well as obedience in a horse is often neglected because we want results fast. You can buy a clock but you can’t change time. You can’t get a horse fitter by over doing his training. You can’t build strength by doing twice as much. Back pain is the result. Resistance and bad behavior is the effect and misery is the outcome.  Many riders then decide to do more and more and so the cycle continues. Some even go so far to tie their horses down to teach them a lesson.

I’ve seen the above pattern over and over.

I advise every rider to train out of the saddle one to train themselves to ride better and two to respect the effect of hard muscle training has on their own body. I like rider to feel pain and pressure and stiffness and understand they need to treat it and manage it not just do more. Riders who train out of the saddle have so much more respect for their horse.

The use of massage after a training session has such a good bonding as well as therapeutic benefit to your horse. I use acupuncture myself. Feeding electrolytes and of course a balanced feed is essential. If you don’t know what to feed appropriate then go and learn.

Horse riders must learn correct rug and saddle fitting. I will not ride without an air step saddle pad under the saddle or without checking the space between the saddle and the horses back. With an air step saddle pad I know it is clear. I take the stirrups off once a month, hang them on a hook and check they are equal. It is amazing how many aren’t and the rider swears they are.
The second biggest management for a horses back pain is the way a rider rides. A good rider is balanced and strong in the saddle. They don’t bounce and pull and move around so the horse has to catch them all the time. To learn HOW TO ride like this follow my Applied Posture Riding program it will make you a better rider and save your horse from back pain.

Understanding English Bits

 
A bit is a device placed in a horse’s mouth, kept on a horse’s head by means of a headstall. There are many types, each useful for specific types of riding and training.
The mouthpiece of the bit does not rest on the teeth of the horse, but rather rests on the gums or “bars” of the horse’s mouth in an interdental space behind the front incisors and in front of the back molars. It is important that the style of bit is appropriate to the horse’s needs and is fitted properly for it to function properly and be as comfortable as possible for the horse

While there are literally hundreds of types of bit mouthpieces, bit rings and bit shanks, essentially there are really only two broad categories: direct pressure bits, broadly termed snaffle bit; and leverage bits, usually termed curbs.

Bits that act with direct pressure on the tongue and lips of the bit are in the general category of snaffle bits. Snaffle bits commonly have a single jointed mouthpiece and act with a nutcracker effect on the bars, tongue and occasionally roof of the mouth. However, regardless of mouthpiece, any bit that operates only on direct pressure is a “snaffle” bit.

Leverage bits have shanks coming off the mouthpiece to create leverage that applies pressure to the poll, chin groove and mouth of the horse are in the category of curb bits. Any bit with shanks that works off of leverage is a “curb” bit, regardless of whether the mouthpiece is solid or jointed.

Some combination or hybrid bits combine direct pressure and leverage, such as the Kimblewick  , which adds slight leverage to a two-rein design that resembles a snaffle and the four rein designs such as the single mouthpiece Pelham bitsand the double bridle, which places a curb and a snaffle bit simultaneously in the horse’s mouth.

In the wrong hands even the mildest bit can hurt the horse. Conversely, a very severe bit, in the right hands, can transmit subtle commands that cause no pain to the horse. Bit commands should be given with only the quietest movements of the hands, and much steering and stopping should be done with the legs and seat.
