Copied/pasted (not written by Hi Acre Stables) Good read. Read to the end :) January 10, 2020 Why trainers PUSH horses TOO FAST Klaus Balkenhol explains, "Although breeders have created a better horse, the market has created a demand for a stronger, healthier, more powerful horse. It's easier to sell a horse that looks like a carefully developed eight-year-old, and not like a three- or four-year-old just beginning his career. If you force it, you can get a three-year-old to...Continue reading

Horrible news :(

Attention Hi Acre Boarders, please remember to take everything out of the arenas when you are done using them. Hi Acre is a multi-discipline boarding facility. If you have time to set up jumps, barrels, poles etc, please make sure you leave enough time to put everything back in its place (not up against the walls or corners). Be courteous/respectful to the people who share these spaces. Also remember to clean manure up from the aisle ways and arena, as well. Thank you!

Horse dentist Sean McCarthy will be coming to Hi Acre Stables on Weds, Dec 9; afternoon. LMK if you want your horse(s) done Message Lyn Shelton to make arrangements/reserve a slot

Remember: Horses cannot read your mind.... If they don't do what you ask, look at yourself; maybe your communication skills are the problem. You're never too old or too experienced to take riding lessons!

A Message From: LaBarre Training Center This will rub some the wrong way, but my page my thoughts. No team, show, ribbon, division or championship is worth your life.... Take the time it takes and learn each skill needed inside out. "I have time should be the guiding words of riders during the entire course of training and remind him of the fact that the goal of riding is to be attained only by the gradual increase of demands. The best investment you can make is a good trainer. Find someone who is honest and critical without constantly putting you down and someone that gives you a plan and goals to aim for. But solidly keeps you grounded, humble and honest. There are no short cuts, progression can and SHOULD seem painstakingly slow. The degree of ‘risk’ that extends to horse riders or handlers can be affected by their own subjective perception of their capability and ‘horsemanship’ skill. High perceptions of ‘self-efficacy’ could increase the likelihood of an injury or even death. A human’s level of horse experience and knowledge can be defined by their age, the number of horse interactive hours, along with their type of supervision and training. When there is a deficit in one of these components, the likelihood of harm increases. A particularly important determinant of horse-related risk is the suitability of horse and human combinations. A mismatch at any stage during contact between the human and horse could potentiate a negative incident. Moreover, competitive drives among professional or ambitious equestrians can compromise their safety, in the form of ‘goal seduction’ Current practices differ, are resistant to change, are antiquated or may have become dislocated from their original conditions. Skill matching to assigned activities can save lives, but in equestrian environments, making appropriate decisions about horse/rider combinations requires more than just an assessment of the horse. A similar assessment of the level of skill and ‘horsemanship’ of riders and handlers should also be undertaken. This type of assessment would be based on determining a human’s level of competency in performing a required task or activity. Taking all competition goals out of the equation.
