Carousel Collective | Editor’s Notes |
h t n o m s thi oving... i’m l This month I am loving this ever so pretty, blue watercolour horse t-shirt from the Work Horse Tack store.
I love that it’s so different to the usual horse t-shirt’s we’ve come to know.
In this issue we take a look at the amazing work of Bryan Cusack who creates life size sculptures of horses using driftwood. Keep those entries coming in to stand a chance to win an equine drawing of their horse compliments of The Trotting Trestle, see page 17 for details on how to enter and be sure to share the Carousel Collective and this awesome competition with your equestrian friends.
And I think it’s great that you could pair this shirt with some jeans for a Saturday out at a local farmers market or outdoor concert, It is definitely not limited to just being worn around the stable yard. I love that it has a real free-spirited boho look to it.
In May we really enjoyed watching the Hamburg leg of the Longines Global Champion Tour. It was even more special because we got to watch Casall ASK end off his Showjumping career with one truly amazing jump off. There has been much excitement in the air with the annual Callaho auction, Callaho Liam and Levi being two of my favourites, I am looking forward to seeing them in the ring. Congrats to all the successful bidders. Now we anxiously await the Capital Stud auction in November; speaking of which we were really proud to watch SA’s Capital Colnardo and USA rider Audrey Coulter compete in the LGCT in Hamburg. We recently shared a horse profile of Colnardo from Noelle Floyd magazine on our Facebook page, go check it out to learn more about this gorgeous stallion. Don’t miss out on Colnardo’s progeny Capital Carrington, Capital Columbia and Capital Conchetta at the Capital Auction in November. Until the next issue Happy riding.

burgundy
This month's trend book we are going batty over beautiful burgundy and wine red. Not a colour you see very often, which definitely means you’ll be sure to stand out from the crowd. Burgundy and wine red works especially well on black and dark bay horses. Pair it with grey or navy blue, it works great with both and what’s even better is the fact that it also works really well with black or brown tack. Not all the items featured on this page are available in SA, the intent of the trendbook is to get you inspired and give you ideas for your riding kit. Who knows though, show your local tack store owner a product you see here and they may just start stocking it.

The Shoulder In
SIMPLIFIED
Does the thought of riding shoulder in leave you feeling less than confident in your riding abilities. Are you a little unsure about the angle, the bend and the degree of collection required in order to successfully ride the movement? Shoulder in is super for encouraging suppleness and collection in your horse, however if ridden incorrectly, things can quickly begin going the opposite way of your desired results… Shoulder in is a lateral movement and when ridden correctly, will entail your horse bending around your inside leg, with the shoulders at an approximate 30 degree angle to the side of the track or arena. With the shoulders in, you will then ask your horse to move forward on the line, moving away from the direction he is bent. It is also important to mention that the bend should be consistent from head to tail, not broken or over-bent in places. Normally when we ride our horses forward, we do so on 2 tracks; namely made of the inside hind leg following the inside fore and then the outside hind following the outside fore.
However, for shoulder in, you will ask your horse to shift his shoulders more to the inside, off the track, which will result in your horse travelling on three tracks. Track number 1 will be the outside hind leg, track number 2 or the middle track being made up of the inside hind following the outside fore leg. And finally, the inside fore leg on its own separate track, creating track number 3. As your horse performs shoulder in, his inside legs will cross over and in front of the outside legs and this will be more apparent with the front legs, rather than the back legs. Also, as your horse becomes stronger and more developed and balanced, he will become lighter in front, which will lead to a more expressive movement through the shoulders while performing the shoulder in. Before starting out teaching your horse the shoulder in, it is worth noting that he should have a good understanding of leg yielding and also have started showing some collection in the gait and is able to make small adjustments to his stride while consistently maintaining the rhythm, tempo, forward energy and balance throughout. The leg yielding is important for a few reasons, the most notable being that he understands the forward and sideways movement, while remaining straight through the leg yield. The straightness is important because it is this same straightness that will allow him to keep his hind quarters on the track while shifting his front end off the track and bending around your inside leg. The quality of the shoulder in depends on the quality of the gait leading up to it… Preparation is key to a good shoulder in! I suggest introducing the shoulder in, for both you and your horse, in walk. This will allow both of you the necessary time to ‘figure’ things out in both your minds and, most importantly, in how to move your bodies accordingly. Often riders try to rush the shoulder in and this often leads to the horse remaining straight through their back and over bent through the neck.
11 | Carousel Collective June 2017
Shoulder in is only really shoulder in if the actual shoulders move in off the track! Before we go any further, I think we should look at the angle of the shoulder in. What the angle means, is that of your horses shoulders to the original track you were riding on. Often riders try for too great an angle than the 30° that are required. If the angle is too great, your horse will not be able to perform the movement. To help visualize 30° I suggest bending your elbows and putting your hands out in front of you, palms facing each other, about hip width apart (like a robot!). Pivot your upper body around 90° from your hips, so your arms are essentially creating a right angle to the line your hips are on and where you were originally facing. Now, once there, think about it like this… If this is 90°, lets now move your hands back to 45°… So estimate half way and move your hands and shoulders there… Now, 30° is actually only 2/3 of the way to 45°… so once again, do a little estimation of what a third of the way would look like, and again adjust your hands and arms to there… And voila; the angle is not as severe as most riders first imagined it to be! It can also help to get out a trusty protractor and, using the straight side as the track, look at where 30° actually is… Again, it is not 45°! To actually ride your first shoulder in, I recommend starting walking a 10m circle in the corner and as you complete the circle, begin to ride the long side of your arena while asking for shoulder in. Notice the bend in your horse and as you move down the track, focus on keeping the hind quarters on the original track where they should be, but the shoulders ‘in off the track’ at about a 30 degree angle. Ride this for 3 or 4 strides and then, to finish or ride out of the shoulder in, rather begin another circle where you are than try to place your horses shoulders back on the track. This is easier for your horse to achieve and feels like a more natural conclusion when first learning about the shoulder in. Use your 10m circle to begin your preparations. Notice your position while on the circle and make any adjustments to correct it. Pay particular attention to your shoulders and upper body, as it is always tempting to ‘lean in’, which inevitably pushes your hips and seat to the outside of the saddle. Use your half halt on the circle to balance your horse and also tell him that something is about to happen… Use the natural bend created by riding on the circle to help place your horse in the correct position as you come off the circle and begin to move down the track. The half halt will help keep you both balanced and, depending on your horse, you can ask for a degree of collection in the gait. As your horse takes the first step of shoulder in, pay attention again to your upper body. Your shoulders must be kept in line with your horses shoulders and you must also take care to carry yourself and your upper body, which will in turn, allow your horses front end to lighten a little as the weight is transferred onto the inside hind leg as it comes underneath him. Although you should look where you are going, I suggest rather keeping your head in line with you and your horses shoulders, looking through the ears and rather glancing out the corner of your eye down the school at the track. The reason is because when riders first begin riding shoulder in, they tend to turn their shoulders to keep in line with their head… Which, in the case of looking down the track of the arena, will lead to you shifting your weight incorrectly in the saddle. Your inside leg is what the horse is ‘bent’ around and is used to keep creating the forward energy and the sideways movement happening underneath you. Your outside leg controls your horses hind quarters and prevents them from swinging out, which is a common fault in shoulder in. Your outside leg also helps to keep the horse moving forward and keep the outside hind leg moving underneath the horse, which in turn will encourage better use of the inside hind leg, allowing the horse to lighten more in front and free up the shoulders for better movement. Your outside hand supports the outside leg and controls the degree of bend, It also helps regulate the rhythm and also controls the horse not to continue on with the ‘circle’ or become over bent. Your inside hand asks for the flexion, however must remain soft and giving throughout the movement. It is up to you, the rider, to find and then maintain a balance between both hand and leg aids in order to maintain a consistent bend and angle throughout the movement. The shoulder in can go wrong in many different ways… Your horse may over-bend through the neck while keeping his back straight. This is often caused by too much inside hand on the riders part and must not be mistaken for a correct shoulder in. Another way too much inside hand shows up is in the rider crossing their hand over the horse’s neck, from inside to outside… Your inside is your inside, your outside is your outside!! Riders can also become tense while trying to ride the movement, causing them to ‘pinch’ their thighs and close their pelvis. This generally results in the rider getting ahead of the movement, slouching through their upper body and being unable to correctly use their aid, particularly legs, to maintain the forward energy. All too often, lack of preparation will result in too fast a tempo or lack of rhythm in the movement, causing the horse to become heavy on the forehand and begin unable to use their shoulders correctly. Later as you become more skilled at asking the correct questions at the correct times and your horse becomes more skilled at actually carrying out the movement, you can begin to ask for shoulder in down the center line or across the diagonal. However initially I strongly suggest you use the track on the arena to help you gauge where the hind quarters must remain and the angle of the shoulders Shoulder in can be performed in walk, trot and later, canter. As your horse develops greater strength and balance, he will become more able to transfer his weight from the front end to the back-end. It is also important to note that the angle of the shoulder in may vary slightly depending on the horse and the level of training and suppleness, however should be equal on both reins. Any resistance on either rein should be noted and worked on over time. Shoulder in often initially seems like a daunting task, however if you approach it correctly, in a well prepared, patient and relaxed manner, once your horse can begin to perform the movement, it will open many more door and pave the way to further lateral movements and greater strength and suppleness throughout his body.

building a better RELATIONSHIP
With your horse
Words Chevonne Powell
Throughout the series, we have been discussing how being emotionally aware improves the relationship you have with your horse. In this last instalment we will consider 5 things that you can do to improve the bond with your horse. As horses are prey animals they are naturally aware of physical and biological changes in the mammals around them. They can pick up changes in energy and respond accordingly like biofeedback machines. Because of this innate ability we need to be very aware of what we are feeling and how we are reacting when we are with our equine partners. Being aware can be difďŹ cult, as it requires us to be focused on ourselves in our present moment. To do this you need to acknowledge how you are feeling in this exact moment and identify why you might be feeling this way. Often we can have unconscious emotions that are niggling below the surface which need to be triggered to arise. Through conscious practice, we can become more skilled at identifying such emotions before they are triggered. I discussed this in the previous article on Mindfulness. 29 | Carousel Collective June 2017
‘Own how you feel and reflect on what impact this might have on your riding or even your interactions. Be proactive and come up with solutions before things go wrong.’
5 Ways to Improve the Relationship with your horse PRACTICE YOUR EMOTIONAL TACK UP Before you tack up to ride for the day make sure you have gone through your personal tack up so that you know what emotional space you are in. First, ask yourself – What emotion am I feeling right now? Next, consider the message behind the emotion you have. Why do I feel this way? Did something happen in my day? Is this feeling related to riding or something else? Attempt to stay congruent. If you feel anxious or annoyed, don’t try and ignore the feeling. Own how you feel and reflect on what impact this might have on your riding or even your interactions. Be proactive and come up with solutions before things go wrong. If you feel frustrated after a long day at work, recognise that your patience may be low and look out for signs in yourself before you begin taking your frustration out on your partner. Monitor your thoughts and breathing, making sure you keep calm and take a break if you need to. caroco.co.za | 30
Make an informed decision about whether you are in the correct emotional space to train your horse. If you are having a bad day, maybe a relaxing hack would be better, or possibly don’t ride for the day and rather spend time with your horse on the ground. These decisions are part of responsible riding. BE AWARE OF THEIR COMMUNICATION Horses are in constant communication with us. However, we can often be too preoccupied to notice. Imagine how frustrated you would feel if you were talking to someone and they refused to acknowledge you. In the same way, don’t ignore what your horse is trying to tell you. Look out for: Changes in their eyes, ears and facial expressions Is there tension in the horse's neck, back or tail? Watch for the action of the tail Listen to the noises your horse makes Watch the horse's posture and position/movement of the legs The more you spend time observing your horse, the better you will become in understanding his language. Over time you will come to understand what his noises mean and when he is annoyed or calm. SPEND TIME (MIX IT UP) Spend time with your horse doing alternative things besides training. Groundwork, playing, hacking or even allow him to graze are all times for bonding. This gives you time to monitor your own state, his reaction to your state and his reaction to his environment. Knowledge is power and the more you learn, the better you will understand. WATCH HORSES IN THEIR NATURAL STATES Take some time out to watch your horse in his natural habitat, this may be in his paddock during the day or his stable in the evening. Watch how he interacts with other horses. Is he dominant or passive? Does he push others away from the water trough or does he wait for all the others to drink first? Does he like to play or is he the one taking a snooze in the corner? By watching your horses habits you can begin to understand his personality. Once you begin to understand who he is, you need to adjust yourself and the way you train. If you have a very sensitive horse, being aware of your emotions is very important. Some horses may be more tolerant of our up’s and downs while others may not be. If your horse begins to act strangely always question if you are working with him or against him. Through observation of self and other you will be able to investigate a possible personality clash. HAVE FUN At the end of the day we all are equestrians because it is a passion, so don’t forget to have fun. In order to have a good relationship with your horse you also need to be pleasant to be around. Consider what your horse sees whenever you are near. Does your presence mean hard work and conflict? Or does it mean working together and at times, taking time off? Better bonds are built through reflection, positive interactions, and fun memories – make it a goal to have plenty of these!
‘At the end of the day we all are equestrians because it is a passion, so don’t forget to have fun.’

Sleeves and Fillers
Equestrian Jumping Equipment We all know the amount of work it takes to maintain a riding arena and consistently make it look beautiful. Often, jumps like gates, walls, bridges and aqueducts cannot be built in your own arenas due to the work involved and equipment required, and the only time we encounter them is in show jumping events. Discovery Jump Our PVC sleeves and fillers allow for a lot of variation in jump types - matching sets of sleeves and fillers can be used to build a single jump or beautiful combination jumps, oxers/spreads, triple bars etc. Our PVC products are designed for riding schools as well as personal facilities. They are a safe and easily maintainable alternative to things like traditional picket fences. Not only will your arena look great,the various fillers will give you and your horse good practice for show jumping events. Our light weight standard water trays, manufactured with foam sides are perfect for training and personal arenas, while our very high quality range of exclusive water trays with sound welded crush proof edges are used in graded show jumping events around South Africa.

driftwood artist and sculptor
Bryan Cusack ‘With his profound love of wildlife, and after spending a youth growing up in Ireland's countryside amongst horses, animals were always going to be Cusack's first subject matter when he commenced using driftwood as his medium of choice.’
caroco.co.za | 38
‘My childhood growing up alongside Ballydoyle in Ireland where some of the best horses in the world were trained guaranteed that horses would be my favorite, and preferred subject matter.’
Why do you do what you do? I have a passion for art, sculpting, history, and wood. It is an outlet for me to express my creativity. What is the most challenging piece you've completed? A 7 meter tall ballerina that was completed a few years ago was very challenging. She stood on one foot, and was sculpted horizontally because of the limited height of my studio at the time. She was a stunning piece on completion that sold to an overseas buyer the first day she was put on exhibit. What is your favorite artwork from your collection and why? A prancing horse "Cavallio Rampante" is a favorite piece of mine. What does being creative mean to you? It means a great deal to me. I always do my best work when I'm free to be totally creative. I truly believe that most great art comes from the heart. All this time creating and sharing your art with others, is there a specific commission / piece sold that stands out to you and why? "Atlas" a 4m tall piece that stands in a lobby in Gauteng is an outstanding piece. He exudes power. What kind of creative patterns, routines or rituals do you have? I have a few patterns. I work alone, doing one large and one small piece at once. If I hit a snag on the large one I work on the small piece to get my focus going in the right direction again. The small ones are more relaxing to do. I never work on a piece unless I'm in the right frame of mind for sculpting, and I always let the driftwood determine the shape. Why driftwood and what other mediums do you enjoy working with? Driftwood has a texture unlike most other mediums. It's created by nature and can be quite powerful. Nature provides me with the pieces of the jigsaw. All I do is fit them together. Which creative medium would you love to pursue but haven’t yet? Bronze. But it's in my near future. Where do you believe your creativity comes from? I believe it was handed down to me by my grandmother who was a poet. I also went to a school where art, and the arts were encouraged. What art movement or artist would you say influences your work most? I love the classical works of the Renaissance era. Michelangelo is an artist I greatly admire. On the local scene Dylan Lewis is a favorite. His pieces are just so powerful. What would you be doing if you weren’t an artist? I think that I would be an architect or possibly a fisherman. Do you have anything exciting that you are working on at the moment? I'm currently working on a life sized Cape Buffalo, and sketching pieces that I'll eventually sculpt for an exhibition in late 2018. Later this year I'm exhibiting my first piece at a gallery in the US. What advice would you give to aspiring artists? Don't stop. If you have a passion for what you do it will eventually be recognized. What led you to create horses in Driftwood? A chance encounter with some driftwood in Pondoland gave me my medium. My childhood growing up alongside Ballydoyle in Ireland where some of the best horses in the world were trained guaranteed that horses would be my favorite, and preferred subject matter. What do you love doing when you have time to spare? I like to ride a bike, cast a rod, sketch, or paint. Tell us a bit about your studio, what is it like? It's small, but under extension. It's coastal, and calm. It's structured so that I am able to work inside or outside (where I prefer to work). It's also where I'm happiest at. Where do you draw inspiration from? From nature, from random sightings, and from photo shoots that I sometimes do with a farrier friend of mine.
