First treadmill session doesn’t mean straight in with loads of water and a hard workout!

The first job is letting the horse understand the treadmill, find their rhythm and become comfortable with the water and movement underneath them.
Some walk in like they have done it all their life. Others need a little more time to work it out.

There is still plenty we can learn from that first visit, but confidence and a relaxed walk come before trying to increase the workout.

Just the same as "they have the scope to jump 1.20m but you don't start there"

Want to see how your horse takes to it first sessions are usually around 10-12mins and max of fetlock height if they are up to it.

We also have excellent budget friendly Taster Sessions for £20

One of my favourite views on the treadmill.

Looking over the horse’s back lets us see how the muscles are moving, whether the back is swinging evenly and how that movement changes during the session.
We want to see the horse moving through their body, not just marching away with four busy legs underneath them.

This is also why we don’t simply choose a water height, set the timer and let them just walk. We watch the horse from every angle throughout and adjust the session around what they show us, which is often A LOT!

The water treadmill isn’t only for rehabilitation.

It can also be used alongside ridden work for fitness and conditioning, core and postural strength, suppleness, weight management, young horse development and carefully controlled work for older horses.

It isn’t there to replace good riding or correct training. It gives us another useful way to work the horse’s body and add variety without simply doing more of the same.

Every session is still chosen around the individual horse, their current work and what we are trying to achieve.

🐴 ENTRIES WILL CLOSE ON FRIDAY AT 7PM🧸
🇬🇧NEW AT YORKSHIRE EC - FIRST FLIGHTS SJ🇬🇧
Sunday 13 Sep | Approx 12:30 Start

We’ve been watching how much our little riders are loving our Children’s Teeny Tiny Shows and it got us thinking...

What about the horses who need their own version?
FIRST FLIGHTS SJ is a brand new show aimed at genuine young, green and inexperienced horses who need somewhere to learn what going showjumping is actually all about.

No pressure. No worrying about faults. No eliminations because your green horse had a wobble, needed another look or forgot where its steering was for a minute!

The idea is simple. Give them a good experience and let them learn.
🐴 Poles on the Floor
🐴 35cm Cross Poles
🐴 45cm Verticals
🐴 55cm
🐴 65cm including simple oxers
🐴 75cm

There will just be maximum round time to keep things moving, and we’ll take your time just for interest, but this is NOT against the clock.
No placings. No chasing clears. No pressure to be competitive.
Just somewhere to take that sharp 4yo, the green 6yo, the older horse who has never jumped away from home, or the youngster who simply needs to see the arena, warm up, fillers and a course without being thrown straight into a normal show environment.

We’ll also be keeping First Flights for older riders, so those bringing young or potentially reactive horses can do so without worrying about young children sharing the warm up.

🏵️ Rosettes will be optional to purchase.
Plenty of riders producing youngsters won’t want one... but if that’s your horse’s very first ever show, we reckon you might quite like to take home its very first rosette ❤️

This isn’t really about winning anything.
It’s about giving them a good first flight so they’re happy to come back for the next one.

What are we actually watching while your horse is on the treadmill?
Not just whether they are picking their legs up!

I’m watching their rhythm, straightness, foot placement, how evenly they use both sides and whether anything changes as the session progresses.

Sometimes the best decision is to increase the water or incline.
Other times it is to leave everything exactly where it is and allow the horse to settle into the work.
It’s never just a case of pressing start and letting them walk.
