Schleich Horse Club - Riding Centre With Rider And HorsesFun fact: The girls were allowed to help design this stable building.

The horses are in big stalls. They have bales of straw and feed, but they all want to ride out first.Finally! The new stable building is ready! Excitedly, Lissi gets into the car. Her mum sets off. Hopefully it really is as beautiful as Mr Miller, the owner, promised! hopes Lissi. She leaps out the instant they arrive at the stables. Wow! Its even more beautiful than I imagined! With its green doors and pink windows and window frames, the stable building really does look simply incredible. Lissi immediately runs over from the car to the stable building. Her beloved Arab mare, Stella, is in one of the big stalls. I missed you so much! she exclaims. The two days theyd had to wait before they could finally see each other again had really felt like ages. She embraces her horse and fetches the feed box with apples and carrots. She feeds Stella and then the two of them can finally ride out. What a wonderful day! The sun is shining, a young Arab foal is prancing around the paddock, the birds are singing and Lissi is delighted by the new stable building. Later, she will brush and feed her mare again, and cover her in her special present a brand-new blanket.FunctionsRoof with paddocks becomes an open riding arena!Fence parts can be connected in any way!Moveable roof window!Equipped with hay racksdrinking troughs and tack holderContent: 1 x riding centre, 12 x paddocks, 2 x flower boxes, 1 x Arabian mare, 1 x Arabian foal, 1 x leisure rider, 1 x leisure saddle, 1 x bridle, 1 x blanket, 1 x headstall, 1 x hay, 4 x hay feeder, 4 x drinking trough, 4 x saddle holder, 1 x beige massage brush, 1 x harness, 1 x hoof pick, 1 x grooming box, 1 x carrot, 1 x green apple, 1 x pi

The gaited horse–bred and trained to perform smooth-to-ride, ground-covering alternative gaits (not the trot/jog or canter/lope) that can often be sustained long distances and sometimes at astounding speeds–has steadily gained mainstream popularity as a pleasure or trail mount, in addition to its traditional status as a top-notch show-ring competitor. While generations of careful breeding have instilled a natural ability to "gait" in certain breeds, the "smooth saddle gaits" are not necessarily automatic. This means that riders, whether exploring the backcountry or vying for a championship ribbon, need to train their gaited horse to be able to perform, and then school him to perform well, consistently, and without doing damage to his body. "The best person to develop your gaited horse's smooth saddle gaits is you!" writes renowned gaited-horse trainer and clinician Brenda Imus in The Gaited Horse Bible. "You need to learn only a few basic principles to develop and maintain your horse's gaits. As you do, you will build an important relationship with him (as well as saving trainer's fees). It's a 'win-win' situation all the way around." From the simplest, clearest explanation of the "Gait Spectrum" you'll find, to a discussion of gaited horse breeds (their history, characteristics, and uses) and gaits (running walk, rack, fox trot, tolt, trocha, for example), to an in-depth study of conformation, movement, and soundness–it's all in this terrific resources. Year-by-year basic training and advanced schooling, including flexion, collection, and lateral work to improve natural gaiting ability, is followed by a superb problem-solving section that features simple exercises for alleviating common behavioral problems, avoiding and correcting physical issues, and fixing deviations in a horse's smooth gaits. With a summary of bridles, bits, saddle fit and back dynami

This provocative and ground-breaking film, If Horses Could Speak, is based on the best-selling book Tug of War: "Modern" versus Classical Dressage–a book that shook the equestrian industry upon its initial release around the world. Now, you can take a step further into the examination of the horse's "riding experience" and see just how specific kinds of movement and posture impact the horse's skeleton and musculature. Through the magic of amazing three-dimensional animation–as never-before-seen in an equestrian video of this kind–viewers are shown how the horse's limbs, muscles, and ligaments interact at various gaits. In addition, live-action examples of riding, both good and bad, demonstrate the effect human beings have on their equine "partners." Viewers are sure to be astounded by the direct role their riding has on their horse's physical and mental health and well-being. If Horses Could Speak includes interviews with professional riders, veterinarians, and academics who specialize in the study of the horse's anatomy and how riders can best work with it, rather than against it. Plus, shocking clips from warm-up arenas around the world expose the dark side of competitive horse sport. Altogether an illuminating and eye-opening visual experience, this DVD is not to be missed by anyone who desires to train and ride horses in a way that nurtures and builds them up, rather than wears them out and tears them apart.

Describing the basic anatomy and physiology of the horse, this book by an experienced veterinarian identifies widely-used incorrect training methods—especially in dressage—that can undermine a horse's health and well-being. Starting with the question "Who is responsible for this? "the book looks at breeders, breed associations, instructors, judges, riders, spectators, and the governing bodies of horse sports. The hyperflexion issue, the discussion shows, is that training affects horses both for good and for ill, and riders should reject any methods that cause pain or fail to respect the mental habits and physiological needs of their animals.

Horse Owners' Essential Tips is chock full of the best proven advice on horse care. Shared among owners and riders for years, these tips and tricks revolve around daily maintenance and the most common problems that arise when caring for a horse. The book packs them all together in an easy to use guide that will quickly earn a prominent place in the stable office. The tips are organized into seven sections covering all aspects of horse care: Grooming; Care; Equipment; Stabling; Riding; Equestrian, In the Meadow, and Horse Life. Here are some examples: * About half a glass of sunflower oil in each ration will give a beautiful shine to a horse's coat. * Hay should be fragrant and green but it also should not be too dry or too wet. To test, vigorously twist tufts of hay between both hands. It should be flexible enough to survive 10 twists before snapping (meaning it's not too dry) but if it still doesn't break after 15 twists, then it's too wet. * A basketball net, without the backboard, makes a great hay feed net for a stable - and it keeps the hay off the ground.* To keep a stable water trough clean, install it into a corner of the stable and fix a metal bar about one foot (30 cm) front of it. This will keep the wrong end of the horse away from the water. * Some horses eat much too quickly, which can cause deadly choking or bloat. To slow it down, break stones of salt into the ration. This slows the horse down as he has to pick through the food to avoid the salt. Horse Owners' Essential Tips is eminently practical and informative for all new and veteran horse owners and for young and experienced riders alike. An essential selection for all collections.
