I have always wondered whats best. I try to keep food in front of mine 24/7 but always wondered if this was a good strategy before competing

Unlike humans, horses are designed to run on a full stomach. Feeding your horse 2L of lucerne chaff prior to exercise has two benefits :
.
1️⃣ The chaff will form a ball of feed in the stomach, which will help prevent acid from splashing up from the lower part of the stomach to cause gastric ulcers.
.
2️⃣ Blood is normally diverted away from the stomach during exercise, which reduces some of its normal protective mechanisms. Research has shown that feeding your horse before exercise actually reduces the amount of blood that is shunted away from the stomach and also increases the amount of blood delivered to the skeletal muscles and muscles of the chest. So not only are you helping to protect the stomach, you also might be improving your horse’s performance.

Gelukkig zijn er een paar goede voorbeelden van hoe het plaatje eruit ziet als de ruiter het makkelijk maakt voor het paard. Het Americaanse team werkt samen met een gespecialiseerde ruiter fysiotherapeut, net zoals het Britse team dit al deed (en bij wie ik mijn opleiding volgde) ter voorbereiding van de Olympische Spelen in 2012. Een onafhankelijke zit, rompstabiliteit en symmetrie liggen aan de basis van een goede houding, en dit voor elk niveau van rijden. Van amateur tot professional, werk aan jezelf en alle paarden zullen er beter van worden.

MBF Pony Club Riding Center LLC XC Jumps, organized by Tori Hutcheson

Our United States Pony Club Riding Center members need to have cross country jumps required for them to participate in their rating certification testing. All of the USPC clubs have annual fundraisers to support their members. As a Center we have limitations on our ability to fundraise since we are not a non profit even though the students are members of Pony Club and we are Members as a Center. That means that the our students access USPC through my riding program as they do not own their own horse. They use horses and ponies from my riding program. That is the biggest difference and is limiting what the kids can do to fundraise. I have not had my students do a fundraiser before. My husband and I have usually built the jumps or a parent has helped to build jumps for this purpose. The jumps are required for the Certifications and are not something I would usually use in the riding program. My husband can not help build jumps currently due to health reasons. This is what has prompted the USPC Center members to start the fundraiser. Please consider helping our Pony Club Center riders with their fundraising for cross country jumps.
