2018 Brings Two Exciting New Ventures For Edgcote Gallops 

NEWS 

Edgcote Gallops, based on the 

Northants/Oxfordshire border, 

have two exciting new 

ventures for 2018, Edgcote Races 

and the new training gallops. 

Edgcote Races boasts a new Point 

to Point course and will be running 

three meetings each season; 

The Grafton, Bicester Hunt with 

Whaddon Chase and the Farmers 

Bloodhounds. 

The stunning new course is set on 

the historic grass gallops where 

renowned National Hunt horses such 

as Spanish Steps, Royal Relief and 

Tiberetta were trained by Edward 

Courage in the 1950s and 60’s. The 

new site is hidden away in the rolling 

countryside on the south corner of 

the Wills Estate and offers fantastic 

viewing. The recent Grafton meeting 

proved very popular with both the 

racing community and public and 

provided a very popular family day 

out. 

The facilities at Edgcote already 

boast a stunning 6-furlong hill gallop 

which has recently been resurfaced 

with Safetrack by Andrews Bowen. 

This surface is consistent and highly 

durable designed to provide the 

finest racing surface. This is being 

complimented with the completion of 

a brand new oval 1km track also 

boasting the excellent Andrews 

Bowen surface. 

As well as it’s oval design allowing 

softer turns so horses can train at 

higher speeds than on the existing 

round gallop, it will have a jumping 

straight 8 meters wide allowing for 

hurdles to be used on the surface. 

This project will be finished with 

Duvalock Oval Racerail. 

These gallops are home to two 

successful National Hunt Trainers 

Alex Hales and Ben Case but are 

opened to the public for hire after 

11:30 am Monday - Saturday and all 

day Sunday. 

For the Eventers these gallops will 

also have permanent minute markers 

for all levels and Sarah Gairdner from 

Danesmoor Eventing will be running 

a series of speed and fitness clinics. 

All are welcome to come and hire the 

gallops. For more information find the 

Facebook and Twitter pages 

‘Edgcote Gallops‘ or call Hamish 

07595 345924.

ACUPUNCTURE 

Veterinary Advice… 

What Does It Involve? 

What is acupuncture? 

Acupuncture has been used in human medicine for thousands 

of years. More recently research has shown a scientific basis 

behind the process; which has put it firmly in place as a 

credible complementary therapy. 

Acupuncture in animals is regarded as a veterinary procedure 

and as such can only be performed by a qualified veterinary 

surgeon. 

It entails placing very fine needles into specific points or 

muscles on the body. The needles trick the brain into 

producing a variety of naturally occurring chemicals, including 

potent painkillers such as endorphins. As a result, we are 

able to achieve natural pain relief as well as other positive 

effects on the body, such as relaxation. 

The procedure is not painful as the needles are very thin, but 

it can produce some discomfort, especially if the muscles are 

very tight and painful. Sometimes a short acting sedative is 

given to prevent the horse tensing up and so resisting the 

positive effects of acupuncture. The horse’s action is not 

affected, only enhanced by sedation as the horse is more 

relaxed and tolerates the procedure better. 

What Can It Treat? 

Equine Acupuncture can be used to treat a number of 

conditions in horses - including muscular spasm 

throughout the body, especially neck and spinal pain; 

chronic arthritic processes such as Spavin and 

Ringbone, as well as Temporo-Mandibular joint 

tension (jaw pain) which can cause schooling issues. 

Equine Acupuncture can also be used to loosen off 

tight muscles following exercise, helping horses who 

compete in Dressage/Eventing and Show Jumping. 

Sometimes lameness examinations don’t yield 

satisfactory or definitive results. These cases could be 

down to a “Myofascial Pain Syndrome” where there is 

a characteristic pain referral pattern and these cases 

respond really well to acupuncture. 

Aside from musko-skeletal pain acupuncture may 

provide some relief to those horses suffering from 

frequent spasmodic colic episode, head shaking, and 

skin conditions. 

Conditions triggered by stress may be alleviated by 

acupuncture. 

What Does It Cost? 

The first treatment is £55.43 excluding visit and any subsequent treatment is £44.30 excluding visit. 

In most cases treatment can be claimed through your insurance as an alternative therapy. 

Please contact Serena at the surgery if you would like to discuss the potential benefits and treatment that would be 

best for your horse or donkey.

“ If you are looking for an instructor that will take apart the pieces in order to work out the root cause 

of your problem and then build your pony back up based on a deep understanding of horses then 

contact Rich Greer. He is fantastic and works wonders on horses, from those with small behavioural 

problems to horses that have been deemed as unridable!” - Hollie Wells

Foxhill 

About 

Located in the unspolit countryside of South Northamptonshire, midway 

between Banbury, Brackley and Towcester lies Foxhill Farm. This 

professional family run business is owned and run by Lesley Smith who 

with her team, boast years of experience in the equestrian and events 

world. 

Whether you are starting out on your riding career or looking to take the 

next step as a rider; Lesley and her team specialise in ensuring that you 

and your horse receive the very best experience. 

Foxhill offers many forms of training, ranging from private lessons through 

to day and residential clinics for individuals and riding clubs. With a full 

range of XC, SJ and Dressage facilities on-site and a packed events 

calendar, Foxhill is guaranteed to keep you and your horse busy all year 

round. 

A relaxing stay, tailored to your every need 

Short Breaks 

A concept Foxhill has pioneered and become synonymous with is the 

equestrian mini-break. With pony clubs, riding clubs, groups of friends and 

individuals coming from all over the UK to enjoy a quick getaway with their 

horse. 

Every stay is tailored to people’s needs with a focus on relaxing and 

enjoying time with your horse in all areas including dressage, show 

jumping, cross country and hacking whatever your ability. 

Unique to Foxhill is the combination of equestrian facilities, miles of 

off-road hacking, farmhouse accommodation and dedicated stabling all 

on the farm, meaning there is no need to travel during your stay. 

Riding isn’t the only thing that you can do at Foxhill, their links with many 

other local companies mean that you can also enjoy wine tasting, clay 

pigeon shooting or even cooking classes during your stay! All of which 

come to the farm. 

Whilst every stay has its own twist, a typical weekend comprises of 

everyone arriving on Friday evening where dinner is served in the 

farmhouse. On Saturday and Sunday breakfast and lunch is served 

alongside tuition in the morning and afternoon. The format of the day for 

riding is always highly flexible with Lesley and her team often taking 

multiple groups focusing on various disciplines throughout the day, even 

if it is just going for a hack and a chat. Dinner on Saturday can be in the 

farmhouse or at the local pub depending on group preferences. 

Location 

Foxhill is located in an ideal location, close to many National Trust sites, 

the Silverstone Circuit, Towcester Racecourse and numerous wedding 

venues including Crockwell Farm, Whittlebury Hall, Fawsley Hall, Staverton 

Park and Dodmoor House, just to name a few. 

The team have plenty of experience catering for any special requirements 

you have for your stay, including wedding preparation, hosting parties and 

even providing a landing site for private helicopters! 

Accommodation 

On offer are 2 spacious Twin Rooms and 1 Large Double Bedroom/Family 

room all with en suite bathrooms. All the rooms are fitted to a high standard 

and include television, radio, tea and coffee making facilities plus free wifi. 

Foxhill boasts a 25 stable yard all contained within a purpose built American 

Barn. All stables have rubber matting, automatic drinkers and access to 

Foxhill's secure tack room. 

Lesley, comments “People of all ages are living such busy lives now that 

they rarely get time to truly get away for a few days, particularly with their 

horse. Our focus is on making people feel as if they are friends staying for 

the weekend whilst giving them access to all our fantastic facilities and 

helpful tuition. We believe that we have a really special venue and 

approach here and love seeing so many people come back year after year.” 

From a long relaxing weekend or group getaway, Foxhill really does 

provide the perfect venue whether you are looking to ride, train or stay.

The Scales Of Training 

Part 2 

Contact and Impulsion 

With Tom Fray 

BHS Stage 4 Senior Coach in Complete Horsemanship 

In the last issue of Northants Horse Trader Magazine (April – June 2018) 

I wrote “The Scales of Training – An Introduction to Rhythm and 

Suppleness” and that each scale should be achieved before moving on 

to the next and each scale as a direct effect on the success of the 

subsequent scale. We considered the effect a rider has on the horse’s 

natural balance and therefore his rhythm and how the balance of the 

rider and the reactivity of the horse to the aids affect the horse’s rhythm 

when ridden. I then suggested an exercise to help develop the horse’s 

rhythm and suppleness. 

There are many exercises that will help a horse develop suppleness, providing 

the rider is in balance and has taught the horse to react appropriately to the 

aids. A balanced rider will always help the horse to settle into a good rhythm 

from which the rider can then look for ways to develop the suppleness through 

movements around the school. 

Suppleness can be described as the ease of the range of movement and has 

two effective directions, longitudinally i.e. over the horse’s back and laterally 

i.e. along the horses back. Working the horse in a rounder outline develops 

longitudinal suppleness with him ‘lifting’ under the saddle and adopting a 

‘rainbow’ shape over his back. Lateral suppleness is developed through 

bending the horse around your inside leg. Don’t forget, bend can be to either 

the inside or outside of the direction of travel – in other words, if you are on a 

circle on the right rein you can bend the horse to the left, your left leg becomes 

the inside leg and your right rein becomes the outside hand. A truly supple 

horse will work easily in either bend on either rein. 

So, we now come to consider ‘Contact’ and ‘Impulsion’ which are scales 3 and 

4. Firstly, let us think about contact, what is contact? Well, contact is the feeling 

you have down the rein, it is the direct link between your hand and the horse’s 

mouth. Contact is achieved by riding the horse forward from your leg to the 

hand. This is probably a term you have heard used plenty of times. Describing, 

and therefore understanding, contact is not an easy thing but essentially you 

should be looking for an elastic feel down the rein, your arm should be firm 

and yet your elbow soft, it sometimes helps to think of your elbow and shoulder 

as ‘well lubricated’. Suppleness can be described as the difference between 

a new hinge and a rusty hinge, they both move but the rusty hinge gets stuck, 

the new hinge moves freely and easily. Your elbows provide the elastic feel 

the horse needs to work into in order to give a good ‘forward seeking’ contact. 

Here we just need to remind ourselves of the importance of the rhythm and 

suppleness, these first two scales are not forgotten – they are always there 

and are always required before achieving a good contact. It is essential that 

the horse is reactive to your aids in order for you to be able to effectively ride 

him forward from the leg to the hand. 

Here is one exercise I find useful when working on an improved contact, this 

exercise can be used in any pace but the most straightforward one to start 

with is the trot: 

● 

● 

● 

● 

● 

● 

The Scales are: 

1. Rhythm 

2. Suppleness 

3. Contact 

4. Impulsion 

5. Straightness 

6. Collection 

Once down to approximately 10m circle, hold that circle for a couple 

of circuits ensuring you have a soft inside rein which allows the horse 

to step through from behind. 

Then you start to use an increased inside leg aid to ‘enlarge’ the 

outside of the horse’s body and increase the size of the circle. 

Make sure the horse does not over-bend to the inside, the amount of 

bend should not change too much and must be through the whole 

body, not just the neck. 

As you enlarge the outside of his body and allow the circle to become 

gradually bigger you will be developing an improved inside leg to 

outside hand connection and therefore an improved contact in the 

outside rein. 

It is essential that the inside rein stays soft – you can test this with 

small give and re-takes of the inside rein throughout the whole exercise. 

Repeat this ‘spiral-in/spiral-out’ exercise several times on each rein. 

● 

● 

● 

Start working the horse on a 20m circle, make sure he is swinging 

forward in a nice rhythm and supple trot. 

Then begin to spiral the circle smaller, take your time, reducing the 

circle by just one or two meters on each revolution. 

Ensure the reduction in circle is even and the circle remains round and 

does not become egg-shaped. 

23

Once you feel you have achieved this you can move on to a very simple 

figure of 8 exercise to develop a more consistent change of bend. The way 

to do this is to: 

● 

● 

● 

● 

● 

Ride (in trot to start with) large round the arena, concentrating on 

inside leg to outside hand through the corners. 

Change the shape of the way you ride round the short sides of the 

arena to almost a half 20m circle at each end. 

Then start to ride changes of rein along both long diagonals, so you 

are constantly changing the rein with a half circle at each end, this 

would look like a tall thin figure of 8 rather than a round ‘bumblebee’ 

figure of 8. 

As you ride the figure of 8 think about the inside leg to outside hand 

feeling on the half circle and then when you ride straight across the 

diagonal you need to ‘pick-up’ the old inside rein so you have an 

even feel down both reins. 

Before arriving at the start of the new half circle on the new rein you 

need to prepare the new inside rein through a few ‘feel and give’ 

motions down the rein. As you give the rein you should back-up 

increased inside leg to outside hand connection by nudging with the 

new inside leg to the new outside hand. 

4 

1 2 

3 

● 

Ride the new half circle and immediately change the rein on the next 

long diagonal repeating the above step of picking up the old inside 

rein and connecting the horse from both legs into both hands before 

preparing the new inside rein with a series of ‘feel and give’ motions 

down the rein backed up with the new inside leg. 

As you consistently ride this exercise the horse has to remain supple 

through to the bit and the consistent feel down the rein become elastic 

through the constant change of rein and adjustment from one inside leg to 

outside hand connection to the other. 

The most important thing to remember here is that it is always leg first; 

contact is achieved through riding the horse forward from leg to a ‘forward 

thinking hand’, not a blocking hand. 

These exercises build on the rhythm and suppleness exercises you will be 

doing with your horse and help develop increased lateral suppleness as 

well as an improved contact. 

A forward thinking hand and a 

soft elbow allows the hind leg to 

swing through and push the 

horse forward 

Allowing with a soft elbow 

Firm hand, 

soft elbow 

Impulsion is achieved when the horse takes more weight on his 

hindquarters in order to perform movements with a greater degree of 

engagement and cadence. The image at the bottom of this page shows the 

relationship between the hind leg coming ‘through’ and under the horse in 

order for him to lift under the saddle and take more weight through his 

hindquarters, note the position of the head and how impulsion would be 

compromised by a hand that is pulling back and not allowing the horse to 

travel forward. 

A shorter rein with a forward thinking hand will shorten the frame of the 

horse and through the later scales of training will achieve greater collection. 

Let us focus on improving impulsion, essentially what we are trying to 

achieve is a greater degree of controlled ‘push’ from behind. The horse 

should bring his hind leg well under his body and take more weight on his 

hind leg for an increased period of time, leading to the impression he is 

taking a longer, slower, step with a greater degree of ‘lift’ or cadence in 

each step. This is developing the horse’s longitudinal suppleness, creating 

the ‘rainbow shape’ over his back. 

The moment from ‘almost’ walk into trot encourages 

Improved hind leg action as long as the hand allows the 

hind leg to come through from behind 

Inside flexion, soft hand… 

There is one simple way of improving impulsion and that is through 

transitions. Repeated transitions will encourage the horse to engage more 

from behind – the trick is to ensure the transitions are performed in an 

rhythmical, supple manner with a good contact – it is no coincidence that 

these are the first three stages of the scales of training! Hopefully you can 

see how things are fitting together now and how each scale affects the 

subsequent scale.

Here is one more exercise to work on: 

● 

● 

● 

● 

● 

● 

Trot a 20m circle. 

Make a transition to walk anywhere on the circle, keeping the leg on 

and push the hind leg through to the front leg, imagine riding the 

hind legs into the space between the front legs. 

Don’t forget to use a forward thinking hand – do not block the hind 

leg action by pulling on the rein but maintain a good elastic contact. 

Walk for 5 steps and then ride forward to trot again. 

Repeat this several times around the circle. 

Then move on to just 3 walk steps each time and repeat several 

times. 

Repeating this exercise will help develop an improved trot with greater 

impulsion and longitudinal suppleness – you are looking for an increased 

moment of suspension where the horse is taking more weight on his 

hindquarters, slowing the tempo but maintaining rhythm to ultimately 

achieve improved impulsion. This can only happen if he is allowed to lift 

under the saddle and lighten the front-end, the contact should lighten a little 

– if it becomes heavier then he is balancing on your hand and not taking the 

weight on his hind-quarters. If this happens then go back to the earlier 

stages of the above exercise and ensure you are not allowing him to 

balance on your hand by maintaining a quick and light leg aid into a supple 

and forward thinking contact. In simple terms, use your leg to maintain 

activity and don’t pull back! 

The next steps from here are to develop improved straightness and 

ultimately a greater degree of collection through stages five and six of the 

scales of training. 

Good luck with your homework!

Scales 5 & 6 - Straightness & Collection

Once established, continue with the transition to walk but only for 

one step this time, repeat this several times around the circle. 

Your horse should be getting the idea of what is coming so you can 

use this anticipation as an opportunity to refine your aids. 

Now start to ride a transition from trot to walk but just before he 

walks ride away in trot – repeat this several times.

Forward thinking hand… 

● 

Use the moment from the ‘almost walk’ to trot to really exaggerate 

the push from behind – don’t rush him but keep a light and active leg 

aid to encourage a quick and active hind leg action from your horse. 

The horse Tom is riding in the photos in this article is called ‘The Good Omen’ 

(stable name Nemo), he is owned by Jo Holmes-Cole BHSII from Oakham and is 

working well at Novice level dressage with good potential to work up the grades. 

He can be a bit cheeky and self-opinionated at times and has earned himself the 

social media tag #naughtynemo!

Doma Vaquera: 

The Art Of The Stockman 


"Out in the country, many centuries ago, among the Ginetes, la doma 

vaquera was born, and subjected to the exigencies proper to an art in which 

life and death are but two sides of the same coin.” - Quoted from the 

book “This is the Spanish Horse" by Juan Llamas 

The art of the mounted stockman, or cowboy, is the ability to work cattle 

quietly, safely and efficiently, and to do that well he needs a highly trained 

equine partner. In Spain, la doma vaquera encompasses the finely honed 

and precise skills of the stockman and his horse – not least of which is 

horsemanship – whether they are performed on the ranches or in the 

competitive arena. The work of the vaquera rider is fascinating. True 

vaquera riders are like the country, gritty and tough, and they must be 

strong, resourceful and resilient. They are by nature hard-working, hardplaying 

men, full of passion and love for their horses and their bulls; and a 

more sporting, honourable and generous breed of mankind you will never 

meet. 

The definition of ‘doma’ is ‘dressage’ (from the French verb ‘dresser’: to 

dress or train a horse), thus la doma vaquera could be said to be the 

dressage of the stockman. 

‘Vaquero’¹ means ‘cowboy’ but I prefer to think of these industrious and 

honourable men of Spain – and the Americas – as stockmen because, 

unfortunately, in England in particular, the word ‘cowboy’ has become a 

derogatory term for a shoddy workman. 

The Spanish masculine noun ‘vaquero’ means cowboy or stockman, and as 

an adjective it means ‘in the style of’ or ‘belonging to’ a cowboy or stockman. 

In Spanish, however, the gender of the ending of an adjective agrees with 

the gender of the ending of the noun; thus as ‘doma’ is a feminine noun, in la 

doma vaquera, the adjective is ‘vaquera’ and not ‘vaquero’. 

On unfenced land, man and horse have to display the epitome of control in 

the movements which are part of their everyday work; this control is 

essential when working the bulls. The vaquera rider is neither always 

attractive nor necessarily elegant, and not every rider or horse will have 

what it takes to make a Spanish champion. But that which many 

competition-dressage riders struggle to do with both hands on the reins in 

the quiet serenity of a level, well-marked-out arena, the stockmen will 

perform as a matter of course on hard, rough ground and in relentless heat. 

The execution and timing of their passes, turns on the haunches and the 

forehand, changes of leg, half pirouettes, reining back and exact and 

immediate halts, would be the envy of many a dressage competitor. 

Many vaquera riders still train 

their horses in the same way 

their fathers and grandfathers 

did and, although some of their 

methods may appear 

somewhat crude to many, it 

must be remembered that 

there are good and bad 

trainers and riders in every 

equestrian field. Life in the 

country can still be harsh, and 

the working horses are not 

ridden purely for pleasure; they 

have a job, a potentially 

dangerous job, to do and the 

safety and wellbeing of both 

horse and rider is at stake. If a 

horse is brought to a halt a little 

more abruptly or turned a little 

more forcefully than would 

normally be acceptable 

because he is in danger of 

being caught by the horns of a 

bad-tempered bull, then it is far 

more forgivable than doing the 

same when a horse simply has 

to carry out the less lifethreatening 

activities of halting 

at X or turning down the school 

at A.

Advertorial 

Matt has spent over 25 years teaching, 

coaching, schooling, rehabilitating, backing 

and restarting horses. Over the years Matt 

has seen many of his clients face huge 

difficulties with Fear which has affected the 

understanding and communication between 

horse and rider. 

Fear is something that Matt can relate to, 

having broken his back in a fall a few years 

ago he too had to face the Fear ‘demons’. 

This led him to start training as a life coach 

where he found the 3 principles of life; 

which took him to a new level of 

understanding the human mind and how 

Fear worked. This understanding has 

enabled him to help so many people in a 

much more effective way; giving his clients 

the control over their Fear, rather than 

being reliant on the instructor being there to 

give them confidence. 

Fear is something so many of us suffer 

from. This can prevent us from doing the 

things we really love to do. It can stop us 

from enjoying our horses and can start to 

make a rider feel low and even contemplate 

giving up! It can even stop you from 

seeking help because we are Fearful of 

being judged. This is exactly why Matt has 

created Think-Feel-Ride which is a 

confidence programme, designed to put 

you back in control of your Fear and 

allowing you to develop the tools to 

build a stronger partnership and 

understanding with your horse. By 

putting you back in control of your 

Fear you are then able to push 

your Fear away and move forward. 

With a deeper understanding of 

our own mind and that of our 

horses; developing the way 

to connect the Thinking - 

Feeling - Riding together; 

creates a life long understanding 

that stays with you as you 

continue your journey. 

Matt's depth of understanding of the 

horses mind and their feelings has 

strengthened even more since working with 

and understanding his partners work; 

Richard Geldard, Animal Communicator 

and Medium. Richard’s work has helped 

Matt with his clients on many occasions. 

Matt's clients have also found it useful for 

Richard to do readings or visits with their 

horses whilst working through the Think- 

Feel-Ride programme with Matt. 

Matt and Richard’s passion is to help 

horses along with their carers, to 

understand each other and to find a clearer 

way to communicate; which will build a 

partnership that is based on trust and 

where Fear has no place. 

Matt & Richard are based in south 

Leicestershire/Northamptonshire border, 

you can visit their base with your horse or 

they can travel to you. Also available are 

clinics, workshops and short stay 

equestrian retreats held around the 

country. If you are unable to travel then 

there is the option of online help available 

to you. There really is an option for 

everyone, so please get in touch with Matt 

to arrange your consultation.
