Very, very You get the message (because youre probably living it, right?). All this spendiness occurs, sometimes because we cant resist that thing we dont need but were going to buy another one of anyway; sometimes because horses seem to have a sixth sense about when we really cant afford a vets bill and choose those moments to test the maximum limits of our love for them; and sometimes because we got sucked in by the reviews on that super expensive thingy and launch ahead with our bank details yelling, take my money. You know it. But aside from frivolity and irresponsible horse behavior, even just to meet a horses basic needs can take up an awful lot of cash, and when times are tough, well, its tough.

In partnership with Wintec SaddlesWhether hacking makes up a small part of your horses exercise routine or hack is your sole reason for riding, its still important that he works correctly when outside of the school. That said, does he have to be working on a contact or in an outline the whole time when out and about?I always like to encourage an amount of it, answers BHS Stage 4 coach Lisa Gilby. There are different degrees of contact. I think when you start talking about contact, people immediately assume that its the same kind of contact youd have in a dressage arena in front of a judge but just being able to feel that theres something at the end of the reins is a contact. Its just a very light contact.There are a number of reasons why riding your horse in a contact can be beneficial.1. It keeps him off his forehandIf youre just hacking on a loose rein, the horse is likely to drop onto the forehand and not use themselves correctly, explains Lisa. If youre doing hill work its particularly good to keep them on a contact, because then they can push from behind and it helps them to lift their shoulders and develop the muscles in their hindquarters.This will also give your arms a break, as it will help the horse achieve self-carriage and stop them from leaning onto your hands.2. Its safer to have a contactEven the most bombproof horse can have the occasional spook when they are startled perhaps a bird flies out from a hedge or a loud noise takes them by surprise and they lurch forward or try to spin round. If you are riding with your reins on the buckle, you could be more at risk of losing control and falling off.When you have a control, you can react to a situation and regain control much quicker.Its safer on the roads, when youve got cars passing, to have your horse together in a contact, says Lisa. If youre wandering along on a loose rein and they suddenly spook then youve got to gather up your reins before you can get control of them.3. It gives the horse confidenceIf you know youre approaching something particularly spooky, picking up a contact can help you get past stress-free.You have to read your horse and get to know what they react to and what they dont react to, explains Lisa. My old veteran used to be a nightmare with daffodils. If I knew I would be riding down the road in the spring and there were daffodils on the verges I would pick him up, put him on a contact and quite often Id pop him into shoulder-in as well just so he couldnt see them.Wed tootle off down the road and once wed got past then he could have a longer rein because hed been really good, hadnt reacted and did a lovely shoulder-in.4. It keeps them listening to youLisa adds that having your horse accustomed to being ridden in a contact can be vital in the event that you need to make an emergency stop.If youre cantering across a field and spot a hole coming up, or a tree has fallen down, and you need to suddenly pull up urgently but your horse isnt used to the contact then he could barrel through it, advises Lisa.As well as this, if the only time on a hack you take up a contact is when youre about to canter, it can lead to excitability as your horse learns to associate a contact with going faster.5. Your horse will be more rideableHacking a horse who listens to you is less likely to mean having to dismount to open and close a gate as well.If you break it down, you need to sidle up to the side of the gate, undo the catch, and pull it open the movements that youre doing are turn-on-the-forehand, rein back, and possibly a little bit of leg yield, explains Lisa.Depending on which way youre opening or shutting the gate, maybe a little quarter pirouette as well. So having your horse listen to you makes life much easier when doing little things like that.When shouldnt you ride in a contact?If youre hacking out for two or three hours at a time then you dont want to be on the contact the whole time, because its exhausting for your horse, advises Lisa. You want to be able to pick them up and put them down.You dont have to have your horse in an outline, just as long as you can feel that theres something at the end of the reins so if you react your horse will respond. Sometimes its nice to let them have a breather and just relax out hacking rather than work.Keeping your horse on a contact for the entire hack can also prevent your horse from being inquisitive of his surroundings and for some horses it can make them more spooky.Horses are naturally nosy and if theyre on a contact they dont get the chance to be, explains Lisa. They like to look around and see whats going on in the world; they learn not to be frightened and how to deal with things.If theyre on a slightly longer rein, they can look and assess a situation. For example, if theres a horrible noise down the road, like someone pushing a lawnmower and they cant see it, they cant work out what it is and may become frightened. If they are on a slightly longer rein and can have a look then it can help them cope.What are the different degrees of contact?Lisa encourages riders she helps to work their horse in a range of contacts and outlines while hacking.You could have your horse in a light contact and ask them to stretch down, and then pick them up a little bit and put them in an outline. If youre on a lovely stretch of bridleway you might then just have them on the buckle end, or like you would when doing free walk on a long rein in a dressage test, she states.If you know theres something spooky ahead you know you can pick the contact back up again to ride past it. You can mix and match; you dont always have to have them on a rigid contact or on a completely loose rein.If you feel like you struggle to ride your horse in varying degrees of contact, seek assistance.If the idea of a hack fills you with dread, or you know going on a certain route will be a nightmare, then it might be time to find some help, especially if you dont feel like youre in control, encourages Lisa. You get cross-country clinics, dressage lessons and show jumping training, and theres nothing wrong with getting help to hack.Ive had people come to me saying, I hack, I have the odd problem, can you come and help me? All they want to do is hack, and they just want to have a nicer time.Meet the expert: Lisa Gilby is a BHS Stage 4 Senior Coach and Centre 10 Advanced Coach.

The requirement for daily supplements depends on various factors, including the horses diet, workload, and health status. Horses with a well-balanced diet that includes all necessary nutrients may not need additional supplements. However, those with specific deficiencies or increased demands due to heavy work or health issues may benefit from daily supplementation.What is the most important vitamin for a horse?Vitamin E is often considered one of the most important vitamins for horses. It plays a crucial role in maintaining muscle and nerve function, as well as supporting the immune system. Horses that do not have access to fresh pasture, which is a primary source of vitamin E, may require supplementation to meet their nutritional needs.How do I know what supplements my horse needs?Determining what supplements your horse needs involves evaluating their diet, lifestyle, and health. Consulting with a veterinarian or an equine nutritionist can provide valuable insights. Regular blood tests and nutritional assessments can help identify deficiencies or imbalances, guiding you to choose the appropriate supplements.What supplements help a horse grow?Supplements that support growth in horses typically include vitamins and minerals that promote bone and muscle development. Key nutrients include calcium, phosphorus, and vitamin D for bone health, as well as protein and amino acids for muscle growth. Supplements like these are especially beneficial for young, growing horses and pregnant or lactating mares.
