Introducing NHT Magazine New Sponsored Rider Sophie Coles & Charlie

NHT Magazine is thrilled to announce its first sponsored rider “Finally, a little about my boy Clady Lad aka Charlie. He is a 12 year old, Sophie Coles and her Super Cob Charlie. Sophie and Charlie have 15.2hh coloured cob cross gelding. He came over from Ireland 4 years regularly featured in NHT magazine - including celebrating their ago and his history is unknown but it became quite clear that he was successes in the ‘Readers Results’ section. We have also very green. It took many months to gain his trust but I took him to lots of ‘borrowed’ the odd photo (or two!) for our article features! Sophie local events where we slowly improved and we haven’t looked back has a natural ability for capturing the perfect moment - I must also since. We particularly enjoy cross country where he excels. The autumn mention that I suspect she has been passed this talent from her season hasn’t gone as planned due to the amount of rain we’ve had mum ‘Hannah Coles’; who is often behind some of the lovely shots lately but we are looking forward to the start of 2020 where we have lots featured on Sophie’s social media accounts. Hannah has been more events planned. Sophie’s biggest support from day one and has captured Sophie and Charlie’s many adventures together. Sophie will be a regular “I cannot wait to share with feature during 2020… you, mine and charlie’s adventures during 2020. You Sophie’s Story… can also follow my Instagram “At the age of 11 I started taking lessons at a local riding school where I media account @justmycob. fell in love with horses. At 13 I had my first loan pony Indy. She was a Sophie & Charlie xx 13hh fell pony with a huge personality but unfortunately I quickly outgrew her and that’s when my parents decided to buy me my first horse Charlie.

“I am an active riding club member competing in all disciplines and I have qualified for several championships at junior level with the British Riding Club and the National Horseware Championships. At 18, I now compete at senior level and continue to love every minute of it.

“There have been many highlights over the past few years, but I would say that my favourite would be when I took part in the BRC horse trial qualifier at Ely Eventing Centre where I qualified for the championship at Swalcliffe. We did not have the best dressage test but we completed a double clear, within the time to finish first on our dressage score.

“The best advice I can give is to not compare your horse to somebody else’s, it is more rewarding to try and improve on your last performance rather than try and compete against some flashy mover in the warm up! Don’t be disheartened by negative comments and go out and give it a go whilst having fun.

“My goal for the future is to try and improve on our dressage, Charlie is always a little too eager and we both get quite tense going into a test so How Cute!

ith the New Year upon us, our thoughts should be turning to You do not have to be competing at grand prix to ride these movements. the training we will be doing over the next few months. This These exercises are a good way to help improve your horse’s suppleness. Wis the time of year to think about consolidating the work we I frequently visit new clients and ask what they do when working on their own at home in the school. I am often greeted with a rather blank have done to date as well as progressing to the next level. However, expression, and this is not just the grass roots rider, it can even be the more with horses possibly spending more time stabled and the cold wet experienced riders. It is important to have a plan to help you develop the weather tightening the horse’s muscles and joints; keeping them horse’s suppleness. Sometimes this plan may have to change in a schooling supple can be a challenge and warming up can take longer. session as the horse may have other ideas but any plan is better than no plan. Of course, a good pair of eyes on the ground is always important to Lateral work can really help with suppleness, there are a variety of different assist you, and put you on the right path. lateral movements, in this article we are going to focus on: In this article I am going to give a brief and simple explanation of the 3 ● Leg-yield movements, but nothing can replace those eyes on the ground. It is always ● Shoulder-in important to find yourself a good coach! Below I have given you a generalisation of how to ride these movements. However, dressage is all ● Travers about feel and timing. Take your time to teach these movement and enjoy the journey. Learn by your mistakes and continue having fun!

Leg-yield is generally the easiest way to teach the horse to move sideways, away from the leg.

The best place to start teaching the leg-yield is on the ¾ line close to the long side. This will exploit the horses natural tendency to fall back to the track. At first it is best to start to teach this in walk. To move your horse away from your inside leg (on the girth) apply pressure and ask the horse to step sideways back to the track. Flex the horse slightly away from the long side (away from the direction of travel), this will help to allow the shoulder over. The riders weight should be on the inside seat bone. This doesn’t mean leaning, but step more into your inside stirrup. The rider’s outside leg is slightly further back to stop the quarters overtaking the shoulder. The horse’s outside shoulder should always be slightly in front of the quarters (see picture). The rider’s outside rein open and closes the pressure to increase or decrease the angle.

A mistake that often happens is having too much neck bend. If the horse is being slow to react to your inside leg, apply a little tap behind the leg to back up the leg aid. Leg-yield can also be performed on a circle, moving from a smaller circle to a bigger circle. Leg-yield can be performed in all 3 paces. In canter it can be performed towards or away from the leading leg.

21 NorthantsHorseTrader Magazine Shoulder-in

The objective of shoulder-in is to achieve a higher degree of collection and suppleness. is ridden on 3 Sometimes it is useful to begin shoulder-in on a circle as tracks the horse is already bending around the rider’s leg. On a circle, indicate the inward direction and bend with the inside rein (keeping an elastic feeling). The rider’s outside rein stops the horse from over bending to the inside and losing the outside shoulder (drifting out). The rider’s inside leg stays forward. The inside leg maintains the bend and activates the horse’s hind leg to step under the horse’s body as well as keeping the horse travelling forward. The rider’s outside leg supports and stops the quarters swinging out. Once you are feeling confident on the circle it is time to move riding shoulder-in down the long side.

At first it may be easier to prepare for shoulder-in on the long side by riding a 10m circle in the corner. Using the 10m circle helps create the bend and then you can take the bend down the long side. If you lose impulsion or bend/suppleness circle away 10m and start again. Do not worry about how many 10m circles you need to use, it is best to try and get the feeling and movement right from the start, instead of ploughing on. Always remember to finish by riding straight.

I like to teach travers or quarters in down the long side so the rider doesn’t have to worry about direction of travel. Travers can be performed in walk, trot, and canter.

Travers is ridden on 4 tracks. Ride straight onto the long side, then bring your outside leg back, Matt Cox then apply your outside leg and ask the horse’s quarters to step in off the track. The rider’s inside leg stays forward to activate the inside hind leg and keep the shoulders on the track. Your inside rein shows Grand Prix Rider & the correct flexion and the outside rein maintains it, be careful not to UKCC3 British Accredited Coach get too much neck bend. The best way to achieve this is to think if the horses face looking straight down the track. Once you are feeling confident with travers you can start half-pass. Effectively they are the MattCoxDressage same thing. If you place poles on the diagonal line and ride travers along them it becomes half-pass. ALSO AVAILABLE FOR TRAINING CLINICS
