8. Work together! Try and join up with a fellow horse owner at your yard and devise a rota where you take it in turns to bring each others horses in from the field or turn them out. This will give you a little more free time.
9. Prepare buckets of hard feed in advance this can shave a few minutes off your daily routine.
10. Save time having to brush your horse by investing in a rug with a neck cover. This is more likely to keep your horse clean and reduces time spent brushing and increases time spent riding.
11. After riding, give both your saddle and bridle a quick wipe over every time it is used rather than leaving it until it is a major, time consuming task.
Gary’s Favourite Saddle
Gary rides in the Dante Dressage Saddle from Black Country Saddles.
Says Gary:
“As soon as you sit in the Dante you feel so comfortable due to the very soft and supple calf leather and memory foam incorporated into the seat, skirt and knee rolls. This helps eliminate pressure points and acts as a shock absorber which really has made a difference to how I feel schooling and training at home, or in the arena at competitions.”
