Levi 

Helen Jackson and Leverage 

‘Levi’ 

I acquired Levi after a chance encounter… A private yard had a pony of mine to sell 

and whilst visiting them I saw him in the field and completely fell in love with him! He 

was a sheer fluke buy, he wasn’t for sale and I wasn’t looking. Levi finished racing at 

the age of 5. When I purchased him he had been shown poles and xc jumps and then 

was turned away. 

Levi is now 13. It has been a long journey with him but we have loved every minute as 

he is such a awesome, happy horse! 

I compete him in a range of disciplines and together we have gained fantastic results; 

including winning the British Dressage RoR Championships at Prelim and Novice level! 

Other results include finishing 2nd at the BE RoR 90cm Final, we have been to the 

British Dressage Petplan Finals at Prelim level and competed at Blenheim with RoR in 

dressage. We have even been at the Championships at Aintree with some good wins 

and placings. We are currently back out with BE after a break due to my work and have 

had a cracking start to the season, winning our first event at Oasby and a 2nd place at 

Norton Disney, both at 90cm. On the 8th of June we went to Speetley and got our first 

double clear at 100cm! 

Debbie Ross and Scruffy Mcguffy 

‘Scruff’ 

Scruff 

We purchased Scruff from the Tattersalls Sales in November 2017 as a 4 year old. His 

last race was in August 2017. He was a very sweet chap when we brought him home 

but was very nervous in the stable. After a couple of weeks off we started his retraining, 

firstly with lunging. We then Introduced a normal saddle with a rider on him, to allow 

him to get used to a rider’s legs the ‘normal’ way of riding. I think the most challanging 

part with him (and our other ex-racehorses) was the mounting from a mounting block - 

it was alien to them! Once we had established trot and canter, we started going to a few 

local dressage events and he seemed to really enjoy his dressage. 

He can be very nervous and gets quite upset if he gets something wrong! We have had 

to be patient with him. Scruff thrives on being rewarded, he will then try his heart out for 

you. He really is such a joy to work with. 

Scruff has competed at many dresssage events and is now starting to compete at 

Unaffiliated Elementary level. He has won the RoR trophy at our local riding club and 

the summer dressage points trophy, plus came 3rd in the Great Midlands Horse Show 

Championship - which was just amazing. Scruff has recently started his jumping 

education. 

Scruff is just amazing around my children, they help groom him and he loves chatting to 

them over the door and getting lots of kisses! He has such a kind heart. 



Catherine Alfandary and Klebb 

‘Jasper’ 

I got Jasper directly from the trainers yard as a 4 year old, 7 years ago. Six 

months after I got him he finished 4th in the Seib R2R class at Burnley and since 

then he has also competed and won in sidesaddle, Affiliated Elementary 

dressage and local shows. Jasper has also competed in a 80cm one day event 

and participated in team events for 

local riding clubs. Jasper is 

also a fabulous hunter and is 

especially good at gate 

shutting! 

Richard Goddard and Fairly Honest 

‘Joey’ 

I had previously been an exercise rider for racehorses and I always had a love 

for the breed. When Joey came to live at Welham Stud (where I worked) it 

started a new chapter in my life. I never thought I could own such a magnificent 

animal and from the first day, we just clicked. Yes, Joey tries my patience at 

times and yes he pushes his boundaries on occasion, but he is my soul mate 

and is so full of character. Joey and I have been able to experience many new 

things together. I have completed my first year of showing with him in 2018 and 

we picked up 3 trophies with South Kilworth Riding Club, Best Condition, Sports 

Horse and overall Ring Champion. We competed at Equifest in a Sports Horse 

and a TB class, being placed in both! We still have some work to do, but I am 

super excited about what the future holds for us both… together as a team. 

Please come and say ‘hello’ to us both if you see us out competing. 

Emily Setchell and Upton Sovereign 

‘Sov’ 

Sov 

Now 17 years old, Sov team chases with the Fox Grant Thrusters Intermediate 

Team each week throughout the season. Sov makes light work of eventing and 

pops around the 100cm classes. He has a successful county show and RoR record 

and came 11th in this years Harborough Race Ride. Last year we competed at the 

Silver Spur where he came an impressive 9th out of 45 starters. There is nothing 

this lad doesn’t do!

Retraining of Racehorses (RoR) is British Horseracing’s official charity for the 

welfare of horses who have retired from racing. 

The charity: 

● 

● 

● 

● 

Facilitates the transition to a second career for horses leaving 

racing 

Educates the owners and riders who take on former racehorses 

Creates opportunities for former racehorses to participate and 

compete in a range of equine disciplines 

Protects the welfare of former racehorses, in particular those who 

are vulnerable 

The ultimate goal is to maintain a balance between the number of horses 

leaving Racing and the number of enthusiastic, and suitable, new homes. 

Clearly not all racehorses go on to star in a different sphere, but RoR hopes 

that, on seeing what can be done, more riders will think about taking on a 

racehorse when they are looking for a new horse. This will help racehorse 

owners and trainers, equine charities, retrainers and most importantly, the 

horses to find secure and knowledgeable new homes.

CB LEATHER 

Launched by the British Horseracing Board (now the British Horseracing 

Authority) in April 2000, RoR was awarded charitable status in Autumn 2000. 

RoR’s core funding comes from the Racing Industry through contributions 

from the different sectors and has established itself as one of the prominent 

British Equine Charities, promoting the highest standards of equine welfare. 

The charity supports vulnerable racehorses cared for by equine charities 

across the country and has its own dedicated Welfare Consultant to monitor 

these horses. RoR also works with other charitable bodies to encourage 

the use of former racehorses in therapy programmes for both the equine 

and human good. 

By registering your former racehorse with RoR, you provide valuable 

feedback to the industry on the number of former racehorses now enjoying 

a second career and can benefit from subsidised training in your area. By 

upgrading to competition membership, at a cost of £10 per year, you can 

take part in our series in all disciplines from dressage to hunting, showing 

to team chasing and award prizes all over the country for everyone, amateur 

and professional alike, with the RoR National Championships, held at 

Aintree, being the ultimate celebration of the former racehorse.

FEATURE 


Are you looking for an alternative and fun way to work your horse? Try Trick Training! 

Trick training can be a fun way to work 

your horse. It is based on correct 

groundwork and exemplary manners 

from the horse. The horse has to be 

submissive, soft and yielding on the ground 

before you can start asking for tricks. Tricks 

taught without the correct foundation 

groundwork can turn into unwanted (and 

often dangerous) bad habits, therefore care 

must be taken. 

The 3 groundwork basics I always insist the horse 

knows and executes well before teaching tricks 

are the following: 

1To be respectful and soft in a 

head collar. 

He/She must back up willingly and softly, as well 

as moving their forehand and hindquarters over 

sideways in both directions. They must also stand 

patiently, at any length of rope and know not to 

enter your personal space unless invited. 

2To yield and flex their neck both 

ways off the head collar. 

To ensure your horse is flexible and soft to gentle 

pressure. If your horse needs work on it’s 

flexibility to do this, start introducing a simple 

carrot stretches to encourage mobility. 

3Pick up any foot on command. 

You must have safe control over your horse’s feet 

and willingness by them to pick up their own feet. 

This is not teaching them to ‘paw’ or strike or 

similar – this is solely picking a foot up as you 

would do to pick them out. Holding a foot up or 

asking for a raised leg appears in a variety of 

tricks, so it is essential the horse understands the 

cue to pick a foot up on command as well as learn 

to hold their balance. 

All 3 of these basics are crucial to all tricks, 

however all 3 can help in your day-to-day life with 

your horse. All are encouraging softness and 

positive manners. You will end up with a horse 

that is not bargy, is easy to control in-hand and 

you will never have any problems picking up feet! 

WHAT ARE THE POSITIVES OF 

TRICK TRAINING? 

If you choose to progress on to trick training once 

the groundwork is established, it is a brilliant way 

of making the horse body aware and engaging 

the brain. You increase mobility, aid flexibility, 

strengthen the horse and create extra body 

awareness where you can have control over each 

part of the horse more acutely than before. You 

can even create more impulsion, balance and 

more collection or length of stride. You can create 

‘helpful tricks’ - lowering their head for the bridle, 

kneeling to mount, manoeuvring a gate, parking 

up at a mounting block, putting a hoof to your 

Farrier’s tripod, recall/coming to call. 

The basics of trick training can even help avoid 

incidents in the future; surprising objects are not 

so scary or anything caught round their legs is 

not something to panic over, therefore avoiding 

injury. Trust is formed and their flight or fight 

response can be managed more easily. 

HOW DO I TRICK TRAIN? 

All trick training is based on the cue, the response 

and the reward. 

● The cue is the aid you choose to ask for a 

specific trick. It can be vocal, physical or 

even a mix of both. 

● The response is the reaction the horse gives 

you from the cue. 

● The reward is what you give when the horse 

gives you the correct response to your cue. 

There are 4 main training methods to fully 

understand how you teach your horse. These can 

be applied to every day training and handling, not 

just trick training. 

1Positive Reinforcement. 

This is when the horse is rewarded automatically 

when they have responded correctly, with 

something positive. This is most typically a treat 

but can be anything the horse will perceive as 

positive – a pat, a scratch on their itchy spot, 

vocal reward etc. 

2Negative Reinforcement. 

This is when the horse has a ‘negative’ cue or 

stimulus removed when they have responded 

correctly. The word ‘negative’ in the title should 

not be thought of as a bad training method 

however - this method is actually commonly used 

in day to day training. A simple example of this 

would be getting your horse to move away from 

pressure – the pressure is removed once the 

horse has moved away from it. 

3Negative Punishment. 

This is when the horse receives no positive or 

negative action at all for any response offered. 

This is also referred to as eradication and is 

useful when ‘un-training’ your horse. An example 

would be your horse offering a movement, trick 

or bad habit that is unwanted and you simply 

ignore them. They do not get any reward or 

response of any kind for doing it, so in time, have 

no desire to do it and the behaviour is ‘deleted’. 

This method is crucial when trick training, as if 

your horse does any trick when you have not 

asked for it, it MUST be ignored. They have to 

learn tricks are only ever acceptable on command. 

9 NorthantsHorseTrader Magazine 

Always seek the help of a professional before taking on any new training with your horse

4Positive Punishment. 

This is the horse receiving punishment for any 

‘unwanted’ behaviour. Any ‘punishment’ for 

anything such as biting, needs to be immediate 

to have any relevance to the horse. If there is a 

need for constant punishment during training, 

then retraining needs to be addressed or physical 

pain ruled out. 

HOW CAN I TRICK TRAIN? 

There are many different tricks to teach and are 

dependant on each individual horse. The horse 

must be physically strong enough as well as 

mentally mature enough to cope with training. 

There is no limit on age or type of horse, however 

you must be honest with yourself on your horse’s 

temperament and manners before you start 

certain tricks. As I say, any good trick can quickly 

be a bad habit! 

THE SIMPLE BOW: 

The easiest trick to teach you can try is the simple 

bow. This cannot turn into a bad habit nor be 

dangerous to anyone around you. It is also a very 

good body stretch for your horse! 

1Start with a simple carrot stretch. 

I start by getting the horse to follow a carrot down 

to either side of their front feet. I start them this 

way to get them confident lowering their head 

next to people, learn their balance steadily and 

gradually become flexible. Each time they get the 

carrot, simply say ‘bow’. 

2Move the carrot stretch between 

the front legs. 

If the horse finds it difficult and backs up instead, 

simply put them against a wall or just take the 

time and patience till they realise they are only 

allowed the carrot once they stay still and just 

lower their head between their front legs. Again, 

each time they get the carrot, simply say ‘bow’. 

3Move the carrot further back. 

Once they are consistent with the carrot stretch 

between their front legs, you can gradually bring 

the carrot further back each time. Only let them 

have the carrot once they’ve moved their head 

and neck further back between their legs than the 

last time. This must not be rushed as the finished 

result is a very large body stretch for the horse 

so you must build their suppleness gradually. 

Again, each time they get the carrot, simply say 

‘bow’. 

4Perfecting the cue and reward. 

Once they are flexible and consistent holding a 

long and low bow, you then just keep working on 

your cue and reward. The cue eventually is a 

mixture of physical and vocal which has been 

building up automatically as you have been 

training the trick. The physical cue is your 

sweeping arm gesture (stemming from following 

the carrot) and the vocal cue is the word ‘bow’. 

You now can simply ‘bow’ next to your horse and 

your horse bows too! 

There are many more tricks you can learn –

lessons for you to learn more about trick training 

and you can even practise finished tricks on our 

own horses such as lying down, Jambette, raising

sort of itchy skin issue. It is one of 

the hazards of being outside and 

exposed to bacteria, fungi and 

viral agents in the natural 

environment. 

Skin has three main functions: protection, 

regulation and sensation. It is made up of a 

number of different layers. The epidermis is the 

outer most layer that provides a waterproof 

barrier. The dermis beneath, contains tough 

connective tissue, hair follicles and sweat 

glands. The deeper subcutaneous tissue is 

made of fat and connective tissue. Problems 

arise when there is damage to these layers, or 

if they have become weakened. If this occurs 

then secondary infection can occur. 

Rain Scald & Ringworm 

Elevated patches of hair can be associated with 

rain scald or ringworm. Rain scald is a bacterial 

skin infection caused by the spores of 

Dermatophilus congolensis, whereas ringworm 

is caused by a fungus. Rain scald is much more 

common in healthy horses and ringworm is 

more common in younger horses. Both can be 

contagious, especially ringworm so it is 

important that you wear gloves when touching 

the area. Fungal infections require medicated 

shampoo treatments whereas Hibiscrub can be 

used for rain scald areas. 

Sweet-Itch 

If your horse is continually itchy on the mane 

and tail area then your horse may have ‘sweetitch’. 

This is an allergic skin reaction caused by 

Culicoides Midge bites. Mostly observed during 

warm months especially between April and 

September. The skin becomes swollen, 

extremely itchy, causing the horse to scratch 

sometimes leading to ulcers and bleeding 

areas. Management is key to help reduce the 

reaction in your horse. Fly masks, rugs, are very 

important as is fly repellent. Stabling the horse 

between 4pm and 10am can also help to reduce 

problems as well as location of the field (is it 

near open water areas). In severe cases then 

steroids may be necessary. A vaccine is also 

available, which is a course of 2 injections 

before the midge season (February-March). 

Lice and Mites 

Lice and mites also cause itchiness and 

alopecia (hair loss). Typically lice will live near 

the head, mane, tail and back and you can see 

eggs. Whereas mites live in the feathers and 

legs and are more common in heavier breeds. 

Lice only live for a short period of time in the 

environment so are easier to control then mites. 

Both can be contagious so isolation is 

important. Oral, topical and injectable 

treatments are available but are ‘off licensed’ in 

horses. 

Sunburn 

Sunburn can also affect your horse, especially 

on pink areas, applying sun cream can reduce 

the chance of skin cancer. Some horses that 

have pink areas may also have photosensitivity. 

Eating certain plants (like St John’s Wort) can 

cause photosensitivity. If you are concerned 

about photosensitivity then contact us to arrange 

a visit and a blood test to check liver parameters. 

Skin Tumours 

Skin tumours can appear on any area of your 

horse. Many resolving on their own if caused by 

the equine papilloma virus. Sarcoids are another 

type of skin tumour which are more serious and 

require removal. Please contact us if you are 

worried about a lump that has appeared 

especially in genital, chest or face regions. 

Looking ahead 

Although summer brings additional fly worries, 

it is important to maintain your horse’s skin 

condition all year round, often prevention is 

better than cure!

Top Tip: 

Make sure that you have one grooming kit for each horse! 

This will help prevent cross contamination.

FEATURE 

Riding For Everyone! 

The term ‘classical’ riding is often much 

misunderstood. Firstly, many people think of it as 

elitist or consisting of advanced or difficult 

dressage. The word classical actually means that 

it has its origins in past centuries and has passed 

the test of time. Although there are slight 

differences of opinion in the classical world, its 

principles have, and always will, remain the same 

to any true classicist. This is because it is based 

on the laws of nature, such as gravity, and the 

natural biomechanics of the horse. Although 

horses are bred differently for different purposes, 

their basic make-up and way of movement has 

remained the same for thousands of years. 

The word dressage means to ‘dress’ or prepare 

the horse for whatever work it is intended, and 

all dressage has its origins in classical 

horsemanship. Therefore, all horses, from big 

Warmbloods down to Shetland ponies should be 

prepared for their work by basic dressage. 

Whatever you intend to do with your horse he will 

benefit from basic classical dressage, and 

classical merely means ‘correct’ in this sense. 

FEI Rules Are Based On Classical 

Principles 

Also, those who have been brought 

on too quickly, at an early age, or 

pulled in from the front end into 

rollkur or hyperflexion very often 

suffer physical break down at an 

early age. 

For All Disciplines 

Whatever your chosen discipline, a 

basic grounding in classical 

dressage will greatly benefit your 

horse. Added to this he will be a 

much more pleasant ride, being 

lighter in the forehand, easier to 

turn, more agile and a safer ride. 

Riding with an independent classical 

seat is very much safer and better 

balanced than using say a ‘chair’ 

seat, as frequently seen. 

A chair seat is when the rider’s seat is at the back 

of the saddle, putting too much weight on the 

weakest part of the horse’s back and 

making the rider most unstable 

and likely to go ‘out the side 

door’ at the slightest 

spook. 

A Chair Seat

The FEI Rule Book is based firmly upon the 

principles set down by Francois Robichon de la 

Gueriniere, one of the most revered Classical 

Masters. If all these rules were adhered to, then 

all competitive dressage would be classical. 

Unfortunately, many judges have deviated from 

their own rule book and reward some bad 

practices, but thankfully not all; there are still 

some good judges who stick to classical 

principles. 

The Purpose Of Dressage 

Dressage is designed to physically and mentally 

prepare the horse to carry the rider with the 

optimum amount of ease, in the best-balanced 

way. All the exercises are designed to build up 

strength and flexibility in the back, joints and 

tendons; especially strengthening the hind legs, 

so that the horse can take more weight on the 

hindquarters, relieving the front legs of the extra 

pressure which they necessarily are burdened 

with, once a rider is aboard. All these exercises 

need to be done carefully, and strength built up 

slowly, so that the horse comes to a naturally 

more ‘round’ frame, which emanates from 

strength in the hindquarters. Hence the phrase 

‘the horse should be ridden from back to front’ – 

never pulled into an outline from the front. 

Horses naturally carry more weight on the 

forehand, but when the weight of the rider is 

added this causes undue strain on the forelegs 

and is one of the main causes of arthritic, tendon, 

etc. breakdown as the horse ages. A horse 

carefully prepared in the classical way has a 

much healthier and longer life expectancy than 

his counterparts who have been allowed to slop 

along on the forehand for most of their lives. 

The classical seat 

is not just for 

dressage. It can 

easily be 

adapted for 

jumping and 

cross country 

by shortening 

the stirrups a 

little, making it 

easier for the 

rider to follow 

the centre of 

gravity forward 

by folding from the 

hips, and lifting the 

seat slightly off the 

saddle. All the other 

laws of gravity remain the 

same. The weight aids for 

turning and re-aligning the horse 

before a jump render the horse much 

better balanced and more manoeuvrable, 

rather than relying on hauling on the reins as is 

so often seen. 

If you are a happy hacker, you will find classical 

training a real boon to your enjoyment. Your 

horse will be lighter, easier to turn, you will feel 

much more in control without any harsh aids. 

Your horse will be better at negotiating turns and 

uneven ground, and is likely to stay sound and 

live much longer if he is capable of taking some 

of the weight onto the haunches. Your seat will 

be much deeper and both you and your horse 

will be safer. 

The Classical Seat 

Weight Aids From The Beginning 

It is a source of sadness to me that the simple 

weight aids are not very often taught to new riders 

at riding schools these days. They are not difficult 

for the rider and are a natural thing for the horse 

to respond to, and very much more comfortable. 

For instance, to turn left the rider should put a 

little weight on the left stirrup, turn the head and 

shoulders to the left, giving just a gentle feel on 

the left rein, supported by the outside (right) leg 

taken very slightly back and the right rein being 

held in position to support the horse’s right 

shoulder. In this way the horse can make a very

alanced left turn, following the weight and position of the rider, without 

falling onto the left shoulder and being pulled in the mouth with an 

over-exaggerated left head and neck flexion. 

The rider’s weight transference should be fairly miniscule. This will be felt 

by the horse and it is a natural reaction for the horse to follow this weight 

transference. They don’t have to be taught; it is done automatically. If you 

were carrying a horizontal pole above your head, the easiest way to carry 

it would be in the middle with equal weight either side. If one side starts to 

feel heavier, your reaction will be to move in that direction, so you stay 

under the centre of gravity. 

The Ethos Of Classical Horsemanship 

There is more to classical horsemanship than just a kinder, natural way of 

riding. It encompasses an ethos of kindness and love of the horse in all 

aspects of care. Everything is based on mutual respect, with a view to the 

best long-term interests of the horse. Anything other than this is not true 

classicism, but merely a travesty of the word. 

The Levade 

The pinnacle of collection 

(weight transference to 

the hindquarters). 

You don't have to aspire 

to this kind of high school 

dressage to ride 

classically.

USING ‘TRACE MY HORSE UK’ 

The majority of horse owners can understand the feeling of guilt and grief 

after we lose contact with the new owners and they get passed on to the 

unknown; others suffer from their horses lacking a history, one which has 

built them into the character they are today. 

On the 20 th August 2013, Alison Talbott created the Facebook page ‘Trace 

My Horse UK’ with the aim to reunite past owners with their beloved horses. 

Alison has brought together a community of past owners and current owners 

hoping to find out the history of their horses. The page has proved very 

successful, easing the minds of hundreds of owners about their horses. 

Stored under ‘files’ on the page consists of month-by-month data on horses 

found and records set; these files alone prove how effective the group is, 

showing information like the highest record of horses being found in a month 

(currently placed in January 2019 – with 104 being traced). Each individual 

trace, each connection between owners and horses, offers such a rewarding 

experience for all involved. 

The group has become a catalyst to many successful reuniting stories, and 

often the only reason they were possible. One member sold her horse to a 

‘dealer’ as a non-ridden companion, but later found that she had been sold 

as a ‘been there done it’ type, to a woman and her daughter. The member 

posted on Trace My Horse UK a description of the mare, and another 

member who recognised the horse put her in touch with the new owners and 

following the new owner’s hard decision to retire the mare, the member was 

offered her back and she ‘jumped at the chance’. 

Other member stories include an owner who had lost her mare in a stream 

of new owners, posted on the page expecting nothing, to very quickly (within 

4 minutes) find that the mare is now Instagram and YouTube famous and 

has a lovely home. A different member posted about being unable to trace 

a beloved cob that they had to let go of and in less than 2 months after posting 

her initial advert, she was visiting the pony with his new owners. 

The page currently has just over 16,000 members and is aiming to increase 

this number - the more members, the higher the chance of reuniting owners. 

I urge each owner reading this article to join the page. If you wish to catch 

up with a horse you have lost touch with over time or trace your own horse’s 

history; this could begin the incredible journey that so many others have ben 

able to experience. You may even be able to provide information that helps 

another member trace or understand their horses past. 

If you planning on tracing a horse on this page, Alison recommends that you 

provide the following in your trace post: 

● A good quality, clear photo of the horse’s head, body and any unusual 

markings. 

● An accurate description of the horse’s colour (bearing in mind the 

colours of their coat may change, e.g. a dapple grey will eventually fade 

into flea-bitten/grey). 

● Height 

● Freezemark 

● Age 

● Passport Details 

● Vices/quirks/illnesses they may have (hard to shoe/rears/cushings etc) 

● Last known location. 

Any of the above information will offer Alison a better chance of a successful 

trace.
