With the show season just around the corner it won’t be long before we’re spending hours grooming and prepping our horses the night before our first competition, hoping that they don’t cover themselves in stable stains or find a muddy patch to roll in before you need to load them on to the lorry at 5am.
Training can be one of the most rewarding parts of owning a horse, but we have all been there on the days where it does not go to plan. Some days we have an amazing training session, come away feeling like we are really progressing, and everything is clicking into place, and then other times your training can feel like it is stuck in a rut.
