It is almost inevitable that we all, at some point have incorporated poles as part of training plans, schooling exercises or had riding instructors use them for fun during lessons. The fact is that poles can also be used as part of a rehabilitation and strengthening programme, alongside the advice and assessment of a chartered physiotherapist.

Locomotion over poles alters how the horse moves, alters the horse’s stride, increases limb movement and increases flexion of the spine. With this in mind, the use of pole work can encourage movement whilst assisting in the development of muscle and muscle strength within certain muscle groups. Muscles within the horse’s body work in opposing pairs; where one muscle will be contracting and the opposing muscle will be relaxing. Abdominal and spinal muscles work in this opposing manner, flexing and extending to extend the spine and maintain stability of the trunk. When working correctly the abdominal muscles support and lift the mass of the horse’s body, while the spinal muscles stabilise and maintain the horse’s top-line. It is these features of the working relationship that enable the horse to work in a rounded outline. An additional benefit to this working relationship is that when working correctly it encourages correct hind limb propulsion by enabling the horse to fully bring his hind limbs underneath him, in turn optimising performance.

If you’re planning a large event, you’ll probably need to rent more than a few items. The key to saving money is careful planning.

Tents. It’s always safer to rent a tent and not need it than to have dozens of soggy guests scrambling for cover. That doesn’t mean you have to cover your entire backyard. If the weather turns wet, you need enough tent coverage to make up for the space you don’t have indoors.

When it comes to weddings or other very special occasions, don’t take chances. Rent a tent that can accommodate all your guests comfortably. Moreover, here’s a big tip; rent a tent floor. You’re guests won’t want to dance on a mushy and muddy lawn. A floor rental makes it easier for guests to move around and can prevent guests from tripping and falling.

To save money on your tent rental, consider calling around for prices as soon as you have a party date. If you’re willing to pay for the service up front and in cash many tent rental firms will reduce their prices. If you need to rent a bar, linens, tables or chairs too, it’s wise to consolidate your rentals. Shop around for individual prices and ask for a bulk discount. By combining your rentals into one order, you can often save ten to twenty percent off the package when purchased separately.
