Talygarn Equestrian Centre

🧡 This September, we’re proud to be supporting Muscular Dystrophy UK at our Annual Open Day.

September is Muscular Dystrophy Awareness Month, and this year we’re using our Open Day not only to celebrate our riders, horses and ponies, but also as an opportunity to raise awareness of muscular dystrophy and the incredible work of Muscular Dystrophy UK.

Muscular dystrophy and related muscle-wasting conditions affect thousands of people and their families.

We’d really encourage our Talygarn family, friends and followers to take a few minutes to find out more about the charity, the conditions they support, and the difference they make to those living with them. Even simply sharing information can help raise awareness. 🧡

🐴 FROM FERAL TO RIDDEN! 🐴

Over two mornings, members of Talygarn Equestrian Club got the chance to experience the process of backing a horse (using our incredibly well-schooled horses as guinea pigs).

We simulated each stage of the process, giving members the opportunity to get hands-on and experience what it takes to build a partnership with a horse from scratch, gain their trust and prepare them for ridden work.

From catching, handling, tying up and leading, through to desensitising, lunging and long-reining, members worked through the different stages before progressing to leaning over and finally getting on. 🥰

Along the way, members learnt how to read their horse, recognise their reactions, build trust and develop clear communication at every stage.

The aim was to give everyone a safe environment in which to experience the process, understand why each stage matters and appreciate just how much preparation goes into producing a confident, willing ridden horse. 💪🐴

And, of course, our very patient guinea pigs took everything in their stride! ❤️

A brilliant couple of mornings of learning, getting stuck in and developing skills beyond the usual riding lesson. 🙌
