Why we use NOSEBANDS… or NOT?

Описание: Pausing to take a moment and think about why we use nosebands, are they necessary or is it just because we are so used to them we don't think about it? As we have talked about in various other videos, mobility of the jaw is very important so clamping it shut with a tight noseband can interfere with the healthy function of the horse's body, mind, and emotions. If they are opening their mouths too much we could wonder why and try to make them more comfortable than to tighten up the noseband.
I forgot to say, a rounding from a pelham bit can also be used to join the snaffle rings so the bit can't move through the mouth.

Thank you for taking the time to watch our video, we are very grateful for your support. I am Susan Harden and my mission here is to spread awareness about horsemanship through feel and to give the horse a voice.
We have all heard it said that the horse is our best teacher. I am passionate about helping people understand better what the horse is trying to tell us and how to put that into practice so we can benefit from these lessons. Our horse, of course, will also benefit, after all, is that not what we are all chasing? A happy horse, a harmonious partnership, and a pleasurable experience for all involved!

Live and breathe horses was established in 1995 and has grown and transformed over the years in parallel to my own equestrian/life journey.

The name comes from the obsessive nature of my horsemanship. For those who don't know the expression in English, to “live and breathe “ something suggests that you dedicate all your time to it and it is what gives meaning to your life.
Because the breath is the top focus in all of my work, the name is even more perfect.

My connection with horses spans 5 decades and includes pony club, showjumping, 3-day eventing, classical equitation, dressage, equine-assisted therapy, “natural horsemanship" and more important than any labels, deep love and respect for the horse which is what motivates me to do what I do.
I am also fascinated by the parallels in horsemanship and life as my hero Buck Brannaman says “Hoses, life, it's all the same to me"

WHAT WE DO
Courses and lessons here at our center. Instruction is always personalized to suit your exact requirements as we only work individually or with a maximum of 2 students for all riding and groundwork. If you are a group of guests booking together please contact us to discuss possibilities
Clinics and lessons at your own place are tricky at the moment with the pandemic but normally they are available by special arrangement.
On line has grown much faster than expected due to the new world situation and we are proud of our 1 to 1 mentoring program which respects the uniqueness of each horse, human, and combination
Boarding (livery) and education are available here at our center when we have space, please get in touch to see if we can accommodate you and your horse

HOW HORSES HELP US GROW AS HUMAN BEINGS
Horse and horsemanship (horse-human relationship) give us endless opportunities for personal education, development, growth, whatever you like to call it. Integral to that is the expansion of our self-awareness, mindfulness, living in the moment.
And that is just by being around them and being present while practicing good horsemanship.
We can also learn much about leadership, setting boundaries, clear communication, listening, empathy, balance, grace, courage, and love... to name but a few!
There have been many advances and additions to equine-assisted therapy in the last decade or so. I am not a therapist but have found that the practice of horsemanship through feel can have a transformative effect on our lives and state of being. This is equally true for everyone involved in horses, those who have no experience, and often most dramatically for those who start with fear.
