Here are a few link I’ve been wanting to share lately!
~ Take a virtual farm tour of Little Bit Therapeutic Riding Center! I love seeing how they compost their manure.
~ Counting Elephants…what do you count?
~ This one made it’s way around Facebook already but in case you haven’t read it yet…Thermoregulation in Horses in Winter
~ All about trot poles in lessons! I can’t wait for the sequel.
~ A fascinating illustrated study on horse facial expressions! Or at least the muscles they use to make them, not necessarily what they mean.
~ Some Special Olympics Trail Patterns:
- AQHA Rules and Patterns for Equestrians With Disabilities – general rules and some great patterns
- Special Olympics Illinois Riding Patterns
- Special Olympics Georgia Guidelines and Patterns
- Special Olympics North Carolina Riding Patterns (listed on the right hand side)
~ Lastly, I recently updated the RESOURCES and ABOUT pages of this blog.
Enjoy!
