When you are going for a ride, it's important to choose the right basic equipment, the important safety equipment that will protect you should an accident occur. Equestrian sports sometimes involve risks, but there is a lot we can do to limit the risk of accidents and injuries. Learning to handle and understand the horse is one and choosing the right protective equipment is another. You don't need to have the latest equipment or specially adapted clothing and shoes in order to ride – but it is often easier if you use clothes and shoes that the market has developed specifically for the purpose.
We begin closest to the body. Choosing the right underwear can actually contribute to improving the riding session. It is important for women to have a good sports bra, this takes the strain off both the bust and the spine. Briefs and underpants should preferably not have any seams that can rub against you when sitting in the saddle.
\\r\\n
Upper body
\\r\\n
It is easy to get warm when riding or working in the stables. This is why you should choose to wear some type of functional clothing closest to the body so that moisture is transported away and you do not become cold. The jumper or jacket you wear over this should also have the ability to wick moisture so that you keep warm and dry. It is good to have clothes that are soft and close-fitting as large and loose clothes are not recommended because you become clumsy in these and it is harder for your instructor to see how you are actually sitting. For jackets equipped with hoods, it is good if these can been easily removed as hoods can cause accidents if they become entangled in branches, for example, when you are out on a ride.
\\r\\n
Riding breeches and chaps
\\r\\n
Riding breeches fit well, reduce the risk of blisters and, depending on the material, can also help you to sit better and have more stability in the saddle. Riding breeches are a little tighter in order to prevent unnecessary creases that could result in blisters. The seams on riding breeches are also placed where they will not cause discomfort. Riding breeches can been made from various materials – cotton, polyester, micropolyamide and elastane are commonly used.
\\r\\n
Riding breeches can be full seat, knee-patch or completely unpadded. Full seat breeches generally provide a better grip on the saddle, while many people feel that they get deeper into the saddle with unpadded or knee-patch breeches.
\\r\\n
Riding breeches are designed to be worn with riding boots, but they are now also used together with riding shoes and short chaps/gaiters. On the other hand, if you have jodhpurs, these are worn with riding shoes. Jodhpurs are somewhat straighter and a little wider at the bottom, many also have a foot strap that is placed under the foot to prevent the trouser leg riding up when you sit on the horse.
\\r\\n
There are also various covers to provide protection and keep you clean, dry and warm. Chaps are a practical and simple to pull on over riding breeches, you can also take them off and put them on when you are sitting on the horse. The majority of chaps are made of suede or napa leather, but there are now some made of waterproof nylon and they work brilliantly in rain and foul weather.
\\r\\n
Thermal riding breeches are also available for use in winter. These can either be pulled on over riding breeches or simply over thermal leggings, for example. The benefit of thermal riding breeches over normal salopettes is that they are usually equipped with zips that go the full length of the legs, making it easier to get them on and off, and that they normally have a full seat, giving you a better grip on the saddle.
\\r\\n
Gloves
\\r\\n
Using gloves when you work with a horse or in the stables is a good way to protect your hands. It is really easy to \\\"burn\\\" your hands on the halter strap if you are leading a horse that is trying to get away. Use gloves that are as smooth as possible. Three-finger gloves are a good choice for winter riding.
\\r\\n
Spurs and whips
\\r\\n
You may sometimes need further assistance when riding; spurs and whips are available in various sizes and designs to suit both you and the horse. Neither spurs nor whips are intended to be used to punish the horse, rather they are for reinforcing/clarifying your aids. This is something that we should never forget. If you intend to compete, it is important that you check the competition rules to see what you are allowed to use.
\\r\\n
Important to bear in mind!
\\r\\n
Never leave your protective equipment sitting in the sun, on the parcel shelf in a car, for example, as the sun's rays can affect the material in the equipment.

\\r\\n
Riding boots or riding shoes, what you choose depends a bit on your personal taste. Riding boots are available in various models and styles. When you begin riding and maybe don't want to spend too much money on equipment a pair of artificial leather riding boots can be a good idea. This is also true for children who are still growing a lot. Artificial leather riding boots are also more resistant to moisture, while leather riding boots last a long time on the condition that you are diligent in keeping them clean and oiled.
\\r\\n
Different models of riding boots
\\r\\n
Of course, the model you choose will depend on your taste and what you think is the most comfortable. It can also have an impact on your choice if you compete and are concentrating on a particular discipline. Dressage boots are usually stiffer and straighter, if they have zips they are usually obliquely to the front. Jumping and all-round boots are usually soft and more flexible, they may have laces in the middle of the front and a zip at the back.
\\r\\n
When you choose boots, make sure you don't choose a pair that are too short, the leg \\\"settles\\\" after a while and it's not pleasant if the boot feels too short. If a high leg feels uncomfortable at the beginning you can put in a small wedge sole to prevent blisters at the back of the knee.
\\r\\n
Riding shoes and gaiters/short chaps
\\r\\n
Riding boots provide more support to the leg than riding shoes, but if you prefer to have a pair of riding shoes you can complement these with short chaps/gaiters to get something that appears similar to a pair of boots. The benefit of this combination is that it is usually significantly cheaper and it can be easier to find something that fits both the foot and the leg perfectly.
\\r\\n
In winter, when you have slightly more robust and chunky shoes, you may need to change up to larger stirrups to prevent your shoes from getting stuck.
\\r\\n
Stable shoes and stable boots
\\r\\n
Bear in mind that both riding boots and riding shoes should be used when riding and not when working in the stable as soles, seams and zips are not designed for the wear and tear caused by, for example, manure, urine and wood shavings. Sturdy shoes with a good sole are beneficial when tending to a horse and stable. Protective shoes with steel toe-caps reduce the risk of a trampling injury. You can even get shoes with soles that protect you should you step on, for example, a nail and soles that protect against urine and chemicals.

\\r\\n
You can ensure a really enjoyable riding trip or time in the stables, whatever the weather or season, by taking care in how you dress. Of course, we can't promise that your horse will be in a good mood, but with the right riding clothes at least you won't be freezing or sweaty. We asked our designer Ann-Therese Helgesson for tips on how to dress - whatever the weather.
\\r\\n
Spring/summer
\\r\\n
✓ Riding breeches reduce the risk of chafing. It's down to personal preference whether you have full or half-seat breeches or whether or not you have silicone padding. Invest in a pair of breeches made of technical material that are dirt-resistant, quick-drying, water-repellent and offer UV protection. If you go riding in a pair of leggings, they need to be comfortable and not have any irritating seams.
\\r\\n
✓ T-shirt, piqué polo, light shirt, technical shirt or knitted top? This depends on where and how you are going to be riding. If you're out in the woods where there's a risk of cuts and scrapes from foliage, it may be wise, for example, to choose a long-sleeved top that offers the best protection.
\\r\\n
✓ Sadly, summertime often brings rain. If you're just going from the stable to the riding hall, clearly a poncho will do, but if you're off out riding in the woods, the comfortable option is to wear a rain jacket.
\\r\\n
✓ Thin summer gloves will both protect your hands and give you a better grip on the reins.
\\r\\n
✓ A ventilated lightweight helmet will stop you getting too hot, even in sunny conditions.
\\r\\n
✓ A belt bag will allow you to carry your phone even on hot days when you're riding in just a T-shirt and breeches. Practical and good.
\\r\\n
✓ Finally, choose a pair of riding boots, jodhpurs or chaps that fit well.
\\r\\n
Autumn/winter, indoors
\\r\\n
To avoid being cold - or unnecessarily sweaty - the best solution is layering. You can always add or remove a layer during your session. Equestrianism is a physically demanding sport that benefits from the use of technical clothing tailored to the kind of riding you intend to do.
\\r\\n
✓ Riding breeches reduce the risk of chafing. It's down to personal preference whether you have full or half-seat breeches or whether or not you have silicone padding. Invest in a winter model in a soft shell material. They are stretchy, with fleece on the reverse and a brushed inside to improve airflow. Wear thermals if you need that little bit of extra warmth.
\\r\\n
✓ Many riders come to their lessons wearing a gilet, a microfleece jacket and a coat. Your gilet should have elasticated sides and be thin but still warm where it really makes a difference. A thin gilet also makes it easy for your instructor to see how you are sitting and moving in the saddle.
\\r\\n
✓ If you ride a lot and want to improve the circulation in your calves so that they don't go numb and stiff, compression socks are what you need. They also reduce muscle soreness afterwards. But I'd also like to bang the drum for woolly socks. Wool is a fantastic material - all year round.
\\r\\n
✓ Invest in a pair of ordinary riding gloves in a flexible synthetic material with a soft mesh upper, or a pair of leather gloves.
\\r\\n
✓ You can wear a riding skirt on the way to training and during the warm-up. It will keep your thighs warm, a part of the body that often gets cold.
\\r\\n\\r\\n
Autumn/winter, outdoors
\\r\\n
✓ A good, durable set of thermals is a must. You should also invest in a fleece or a knitted sweater and a thick jacket. If, for example, you're going at walking pace for an hour, you can easily get cold unless you have a jacket to keep you warm. For full-on interval workouts or gallop sessions, a shell jacket works well even in the cold if you do a good job with your layering.
\\r\\n
✓ With overalls, you automatically get warmth all over in one go. But be sure not to overdress! It's never cool to have to get sweaty and sticky.
\\r\\n
✓ A buff is great for stopping the cold air getting into your jacket via your neck. You can also wear it over your head under your helmet so that the buff covers your cheeks. You can see your buff as a multi-purpose tool when it's windy.
\\r\\n
✓ Thick summer gloves with padding on the top will both protect your hands from the cold and give you a good grip on the reins.
\\r\\n
✓ Your feet are particularly vulnerable to the cold. Remember that you should always be able to wriggle your toes, so don't put five pairs of socks on and hope that that will solve the problem. Your toes need space. Instead, go riding wearing lots of layers, woolly socks and a woollen insole. Your thighs, too, are exposed in winter, so invest in a longer riding skirt or coat. Also invest in padded trousers and some Earbags to protect your ears.

\\r\\n
All riding breeches has it’s own combination of fit, material and function. The fit is the most important thing, it should be comfortable. That’s why it’s so important that you try on a number of different breeches so you will find the perfect match for your shape. Because even though all riding breeches are stretchy, the fit varies. A great tip along the way are that you should be able to move freely, bend your knees and squat.
\\r\\n
Quality and features
\\r\\n
Our riding breeches are made in different material combinations/functional materials so that you can customize your choice according to season and temperature. Remember that you should like the material, that it feels nice on your body. Then find out the different properties of the material combo. If the pants are in four-way stretch, they have an extra good fit and give you maximum freedom of movement. If you choose a functional material, it is usually breathable, but can also be dirt-repellent, quick-drying and UV-proof.
\\r\\n
Some models have some special features. Our riding breeches in stretchy soft shell are for example warm lined with fleece on the inside which makes it a popular winter breech. There are also high-tech riding pants with Icefil® that keep you cool and carry moisture away from the body, Core Control Technology ™, which provides extra support to the core muscles (abdomen and back) and Calf Fit System ™ which provides calf and ankle support plus relieves pressure points and friction in the boots.
\\r\\n
Functions
\\r\\n
Choose features based on what you need in your riding. Silicone / PU are materials that in different ways give good grip depending on the designs they have and where these designs are placed. If the pants are fully cushioned, it can be with Daewoo or silicone / PU. Generally, a full-length trouser gives better grip in the saddle, but most of it is about your own experience and what improves your riding. The half-padded breeches have better grip at the knees while the knee-reinforced has double fabric at the knees and is an option for those who do not want any grip function at all.
\\r\\n
Details
\\r\\n
The waist of the riding breeches is usually higher at the back to avoid uncomfortable slips and that it becomes too \\\"choppy\\\" when sitting in the saddle. The seams are strategically positioned so that you do not get scuffs and the leg closures are either in elastic material or have Velcro fasteners, which makes it easy and comfortable to hold the pants in place. Leg length you choose according to what you enjoy with as we also have pants with slightly longer legs. Practical pockets with or without zipper and stylish decor are other details that lift the look.
\\r\\n
Riding leggings
\\r\\n
Comfortable and flexible variant of riding breeches with elastic waistband and different grips.
\\r\\n
Full chaps
\\r\\n
More and more riders are realizing how easy it is to become ready for the horseback without having to change clothes. The opportunities for full chaps vary from being a coverall that keeps you clean when mucking and brushing in the stable, dry when riding out in the rain or snow and of course keeping you look good. You don't have to jump off to take them off. Sit comfortably in the saddle and just open the zippers along the legs and the adjustable belt at the waist.
\\r\\n
The classic materials are suede and nipple, but today there are also models in warm stretchy neoprene with silicone-cushioned knees for good grip and weather-resistant waterproof nylon that are both easy to carry and bring with you. If you find it difficult to find riding boots that fit, short chaps work well with riding shoes.
\\r\\n
Thermo pants
\\r\\n
This is the pants that makes it nice to ride out in the cold. Pull them on the riding breeches or over a pair of nice thermo leggings and enjoy the moment with the horse. Our thermo pants are fully cushioned to give the best grip in the saddle. It is lined, waterproof and breathable. The waist is elastic and the seams are taped. The zippers on the legs facilitate when you put them on and off. If you want a lighter version when you’re hanging on the stand or in the stable, try the cover up skirt. Stylish, practical and comfortable warming. Even when sitting on horseback, of course.
Hööks always strives to manufacture premium quality products, and places high demands on quality. It is important to care for the products correctly to maximise their lifespan. Avoid washing textile products more often than necessary, as this can shorten their lifespan and also causes negative environmental impact.
\\r\\n
\\r\\n
Technical clothing that is water-repellent / breathable
\\r\\n
Technical clothing should not be washed more often than necessary. However, it is worth bearing in mind that if technical materials get too dirty, they become less breathable and also less water-repellent. When washing the garments, follow their specific washing instructions carefully. Close Velcro fastenings, zips, buttons, etc. before washing to reduce wear. Do not use fabric conditioner on technical garments, as this reduces the garment's function and harms the environment.
\\r\\n
All technical garments gradually lose their water-repellent properties with both normal use and washing. If the water on the surface stops forming drops, you can reactivate the waterproofing by applying low heat to the garment, for instance using an iron or a tumble drier.
\\r\\n
If this treatment stops having an effect, we recommend that you restore the waterproofing. Use a waterproofing treatment that is free from fluorocarbons and follow the garment's washing instructions when applying the treatment.
\\r\\n
Synthetic material
\\r\\n
Most synthetic materials are relatively easy to care for and can be washed in an ordinary washing machine. Avoid washing the garments more often than necessary, to spare both the garment and the environment. Follow the washing instructions carefully and don't use fabric conditioner. Avoid tumble drying the garment if possible, but follow the recommendations in the washing instructions.
\\r\\n
Cotton
\\r\\n
When washing cotton products, always follow the garment's washing instructions and avoid using fabric conditioner. Not tumble drying your garments prolongs their lifespan and also saves energy.
\\r\\n
Wool
\\r\\n
Wool fibres are naturally dirt-repellent and antibacterial, and for this reason it's often enough to air your woollen garments to freshen them up. When washing wool, always follow the garment's washing instructions carefully since all woollen garments are not machine-washable. Avoid washing the garment at too high a temperature. If the garment is machine washable, use your washing machine's wool cycle. If woollen items are washed on a cycle that is too hard or vigorous, the wool can get matted and the garment can shrink. Don't use fabric conditioner when washing woollen garments, as it can damage the wool fibres.
\\r\\n
Waterproofing
\\r\\n
Hööks only uses water-repellent treatments that are free from fluorocarbons (PFCs). This is because PFCs are harmful both to people and the environment. The water-repellent properties gradually wear off with both washing and use. When this happens, we recommend that you restore the waterproofing. Use a waterproofing treatment that is free from fluorocarbons (PFC free), and follow the garment's washing instructions when applying the treatment.

\\r\\n
Back on Track products feature modern, scientific textile technology, based on unique combinations of reflective minerals that are melted into the fabric. The natural minerals catch the natural warmth from your body and transform it into long-wave infrared energy, which is then reflected back to your skin, joints and muscles. Humans and animals radiate body heat both at rest and during activity, so the products can be used whenever is most convenient.
\\r\\n
The value of the energy reflected and stored by the fabric is known as the emissivity value. The level of emissivity is adapted to each product as well as its application area in order to achieve the best balance and the desired effect. The amount of radiation that a fabric gives off is affected by the minerals chosen and their composition. Back on Track products have excellent breathability. This prevents heat being trapped or insulated – it is the infrared energy that provides the effect.
\\r\\n
The natural infrared energy is known to boost blood circulation and promote the production of nitric oxide in blood vessels. Perfect for recovery or to loosen up tense muscles. The effect can be experienced in different ways. Some individuals feel a warm sensation, but the feeling varies. The results of using the product also vary between individuals.
\\r\\n
How to use the product
\\r\\n
When you start using Back On Track
\\r\\n
Our products should be introduced gradually to allow the body to get used to their effect. Use the product for a maximum of 4 hours on the first 2-3 days, then gradually increase the duration by one hour at a time.
\\r\\n
After the introduction period
\\r\\n
After the introduction period, use the products for a minimum of 8 hours per day, preferably even longer. After a few hours of use, a beneficial effect is achieved on tense muscles and stiff joints. It can take 10-20 days before maximum results are achieved.
\\r\\n
After this, you should use the product in the way you feel is most effective. For instance, you might find it effective to use the product for a longer period and then take a break. Alternatively, you can try using it for a shorter period of a few hours a day during activity, or during the night.
\\r\\n
If you notice the effect subsiding after a period of use, it can help to take a break from using the product. After this neutralisation period, you can reintroduce the product.
\\r\\n
Initial reactions to the products
\\r\\n
The increased blood flow can cause some people to experience irritation, swelling or soreness in the problem area during the initial period of use. The reaction is individual and varies from person to person.
\\r\\n
Horses and dogs may also experience an initial reaction. Pay attention to your animal's behaviour and reactions when using the products.
\\r\\n
The initial reaction or swelling may occur after just an hour or two of use. In the event of discomfort, stop using the product for the rest of the day. Then try introducing the product gradually over the following days.
\\r\\n
Good to know
\\r\\n
Humans and animals radiate body heat both at rest and during activity, so the products can be used whenever is most convenient. The effect is greatest during activity when the body temperature rises and the reflection becomes stronger.
\\r\\n
Our products work best in direct contact with the skin, but they also work with a thin layer of fabric underneath.
\\r\\n
Only use the product according to the instructions and consult your doctor if symptoms persist. If you are undergoing medical treatment, consult your doctor if you unsure how the product could affect your treatment.
\\r\\n
Do not use when pregnant.
\\r\\n
Caution is recommended when using with ointments, etc., which may enhance the effect.
\\r\\n

TIPS & TRICKS how to care for your shoes!
\\r\\n
THINGS TO BEAR IN MIND...
\\r\\n
\\r\\n\\r\\n
\\r\\n
USE YOUR SHOES CORRECTLY
\\r\\n
\\r\\n
\\r\\n
The harsh environment in a stable can damage the leather in your footwear and the glue on the soles. For this reason, we don't recommend using riding boots or shoes in the stable. Instead, we recommend you use rubber boots or clean your shoes or boots thoroughly after each use.
\\r\\n
\\r\\n
\\r\\n
\\r\\n
\\r\\n
\\r\\n
USE THE RIGHT PRODUCT FOR THE MATERIAL
\\r\\n
\\r\\n
\\r\\n
Always use the shoe care product recommended, as it is specially designed to be used for the material in your shoes. Certain materials, such as suede and nubuck, are delicate and require specific care.
\\r\\n
\\r\\n
\\r\\n
\\r\\n
\\r\\n
\\r\\n
NEW SHOES
\\r\\n
\\r\\n
\\r\\n
Bear in mind that new shoes do not provide adequate protection against dirt and water. Treat new shoes with a suitable waterrproofing or conditioning product before first use and then at regular intervals. This will prolong their lifespan.
\\r\\n
\\r\\n
\\r\\n
\\r\\n
\\r\\n
\\r\\n
ZIPS NEED CARE TOO
\\r\\n
\\r\\n
\\r\\n
Clean the zip with a small brush and dry as necessary. If a zip gets stuck, never force it. Instead, remove any mud or sand. Open the zip all the way before putting on your shoes or boots, to avoid damaging it.
\\r\\n
\\r\\n
\\r\\n
\\r\\n
\\r\\n
\\r\\n
REPLACE INSOLES REGULARLY
\\r\\n
\\r\\n
\\r\\n
\\r\\n
Insoles not only improve comfort and fit but also absorb moisture, which helps to keep both your feet and shoes healthy.
\\r\\n
\\r\\n
\\r\\n
\\r\\n
\\r\\n
\\r\\n
\\r\\n
\\r\\n
BOOT STRETCHER
\\r\\n
\\r\\n
\\r\\n
\\r\\n
Always use a boot stretcher or boot hanger. This protects the leather and zips while helping to maintain the shape of the boot shaft and preventing it from creasing.
\\r\\n
\\r\\n
\\r\\n
\\r\\n
\\r\\n
\\r\\n
ON AND OFF
\\r\\n
\\r\\n
\\r\\n
Always use a shoehorn to put your boots on. This prolongs the life of the heel cap. Use a boot jack to take them off.
\\r\\n
\\r\\n
\\r\\n
\\r\\n
\\r\\n
\\r\\n
Take good care of your shoes and boots to prolong their lifespan.
\\r\\n
\\r\\n
\\r\\n
When leather is cared for correctly, its appearance will often improve with age.

CLEANING
\\r\\n
\\r\\n
\\r\\n
\\r\\n
Leather
\\r\\n
Remove dirt with a shoe brush and use an appropriate product such as leather soap to treat stubborn stains.
\\r\\n
\\r\\n
\\r\\n
Oiled leather
\\r\\n
Remove dirt with a shoe brush and use leather soap or another appropriate product where necessary.
\\r\\n
\\r\\n
\\r\\n
Synthetic leather
\\r\\n
Remove dirt with a shoe brush and use a cloth with a mild soap solution where necessary
\\r\\n
\\r\\n
\\r\\n
Patent leather
\\r\\n
Use a lotion or spray designed for cleaning patent leather.
\\r\\n
\\r\\n
\\r\\n
Nubuck
\\r\\n
Buff with a suede brush or a buffing block. Pay extra attention to stains, salt marks and shiny areas.
\\r\\n
\\r\\n
\\r\\n
Mixed materials tex-materials
\\r\\n
Remove dirt with a shoe brush and use a cleaning product appropriate for the material.
\\r\\n
\\r\\n

\\r\\n
\\r\\n
\\r\\n
\\r\\n
CARE
\\r\\n
\\r\\n
\\r\\n
\\r\\n
Leather
\\r\\n
Treat with leather conditioner or shoe polish. Natural or a matching colour. Allow to dry for 15 minutes, then brush the product into the leather. Buff with a polishing cloth for a deep shine.
\\r\\n
\\r\\n
\\r\\n
Oiled leather
\\r\\n
Treat with oil, leather conditioner or spray. This gives the oil a newly oiled finish and also protects and waterproofs it. Note that this treatment will darken the appearance of light-coloured leather.
\\r\\n
\\r\\n
\\r\\n
Synthetic leather
\\r\\n
Use a buffing sponge to improve the shine. Use shoe polish or instant shine polish to restore the colour.
\\r\\n
\\r\\n
\\r\\n
Patent leather
\\r\\n
Use a lotion or spray designed for cleaning patent leather.
\\r\\n
\\r\\n
\\r\\n
Nubuck
\\r\\n
Use an appropriate polish to restore and waterproof your shoes. Allow the polish dry for 10 minutes, then rough up the surface with a suede brush.
\\r\\n
\\r\\n
\\r\\n
Mixed materials tex-materials
\\r\\n
Use a product appropriate for the outer material.
\\r\\n
\\r\\n
\\r\\n

\\r\\n
\\r\\n
\\r\\n
\\r\\n
PROTECT
\\r\\n
\\r\\n
\\r\\n
\\r\\n
Leather
\\r\\n
Use a waterproofing spray for a water-repellent surface. Treat leather outersoles with an appropriate waterproofing product, or have the shoes or boots resoled.

The Mips system is designed to provide added safety for helmets in many accidents. For certain impacts, the Mips system can reduce harmful rotational motion that might otherwise be transferred to the user’s head.
\\r\\n
How does the Mips system work
\\r\\n
Should you have an accident and hit your head, the Mips system in your helmet is designed to help reduce the rotational motion of certain impacts that may otherwise be transferred to your head.
\\r\\n
Rotational motion is a common cause of concussions and more severe brain injury in oblique hits to the head. The Mips system consists of a low friction layer that is mounted inside the helmet. In a crash, the low friction layer is designed to move slightly inside the helmet to help redirect forces away from the head. This is intended to help reduce the risk of brain injury.
The latest addition to our team of sponsored riders is the successful dressage rider Carl Hedin. With almost 300,000 followers on Instagram and an impressive collection of medals, including team gold at the Swedish Championships, he is an influential figure on social media and in the dressage arena.
\\r\\n
Carl lives at Särö Stable south of Gothenburg where he has around a dozen horses of different ages in work.
\\\"They range from three-year-olds to Grand Prix horses,\\\" says Carl.
\\r\\n
It's no coincidence that the horses Carl rides are often highly successful. He has a genuine interest in horses' behaviour and spends a lot of time learning to understand them in detail. For Carl, good horsemanship, where you develop a positive relationship with your horse, is just as important as conventional ridden training.
\\\"I've always been really interested in ethology, which is the study of animal behaviour. It's something that has influenced my entire career as a dressage rider,\\\" says Carl.
\\r\\n
\\r\\n
Of course, to get as far as Carl Hedin has done takes thousands of hours of training and hard work. He spends a big part of the day with his horses, but there are also other animals in his life, which often appear on his Instagram account.
\\\"When I'm not riding, I hang out with my dog Iris. She's always with me,\\\" says Carl.
Emma lives with her family on a farm outside Borås where she also keeps her horses. Emma competes for Borås riding club and has done since she started her competition career at the age of seven.
\\r\\n
\\\"Ever since I was small, Hööks has been there supporting my career. I joined their team of sponsored riders in 2019,\\\" says Emma.
\\r\\n
Elm Rose, who Emma has owned for almost four years, has been a loyal servant to her. He is 12 years old and is the horse that has taken Emma to where she is today. Together they have competed in the Swedish Championships, the European Championships, Grands Prix, Nations Cup competitions and showjumping classes up to 1.45 m. Among other things, she won the Arena Youth Tour 1.45 m class with Elm Rose in Kungsbacka in the spring of 2021 against tough competition.
\\r\\n
The cheeky teddy bear on the yard is Nouveau, who is always full of mischief and likes a lot of attention. He is an eleven-year-old gelding and he loves competing in big arenas and being in the spotlight. He has competed at Elmia, Scandinavium, Falsterbo, the Swedish Championships, the Nordic Championships and on Nations Cup teams and at many other major competitions.
\\r\\n
\\\"Nouveau has a heart of gold. He's a real fighter who always wants to do his best,\\\" says Emma.
\\r\\n
Another horse on the yard is Carolin, who has been with the Johansson family for just over a year. She is ten years old and a very talented showjumper.
\\r\\n
\\\"I've competed up to 1.45 m with her and she also qualified for the Gothenburg Horse Show in 2020,\\\" explains Emma.
\\r\\n
Then there is Juliebellie, whose stable name is Jullan. She is a mischievous little six-year-old with a positive attitude who is dreaming of life as a competition horse. Despite her young age and her short career so far, she has already competed at both Falsterbo and Elmia. As a five-year-old, she was already jumping up to 1.25 m and now she is moving up to the bigger classes.
\\r\\n
Emma's final star is Mecca, a nine-year-old mare. She was bred in Sweden and is new to Emma's team. In only four competitions with Emma, she has jumped clear and been placed in 1.40 m classes.
Robin Ingvarsson lives in Borås and produces and competes horses from his parents-in-law's farm at Tosseryd. He also rides for his uncle Sven Ingvarsson in Kungsbacka.
\\r\\n
When Robin was only ten years old, he won the Swedish Pony Showjumping Championships. This was followed by many other titles, including gold medals in the Swedish Championships as a junior, young rider and senior. His most recent gold medal in the championships was in 2016 and this led to him competing on the national team.
\\r\\n
Horses that Robin has produced have caught the eye of other well-known riders. He has sold three horses to none other than Peder Fredricson. One of them, Christian K, was the showjumper with the highest winnings in the world in 2019. Another, Hansson, was ranked as the world's best showjumper in 2018.
\\r\\n
Although Robin naturally spends most of his time with his horses, he still finds time for other interests, including weight training, padel and golf.
\\r\\n
Robin Ingvarsson and Hööks have been working together since 2017.
Viktoria Carlerbäck lives on a farm, Stall Stora Bygd, outside Borås with her horses. She also runs her training business from here and has been working with Hööks for many years.
\\r\\n
\\\"I don't know how many years it's been, but I've been to a lot of photo shoots,\\\" says Viktoria.
\\r\\n
Her list of achievements includes competing at two European Championships, two World Championships and one Olympic Games. She has also won a leg of the Eventing World Cup and been placed at Badminton, both with Ballys Geronimo. With Volt Af Källstorp she won the Swedish Championships in 2012 and 2014. Zlatan B won the title in 2016 and this year was part of the winning Eventing Nations Cup team.
\\r\\n
\\r\\n
Viktoria has several horses on the yard that she competes. The oldest is Zlatan B (2004 Indorado – Haarlem).
\\r\\n
\\\"I've had him since he was five. He's a 167 cm bay gelding and he's been placed at CCI4*-L, 1.40 m showjumping and affiliated dressage. He's a lovely horse with a wonderful attitude, but he can be difficult to hack out because he is tense and spooky,\\\" says Viktoria.
\\r\\n
\\r\\n
\\r\\n
Freckenham Ted xx is a twelve-year-old thoroughbred with placings at CCI3*-S and in 1.30 m showjumping classes in 2019.
\\r\\n
\\\"He's fast, but also a bit lazy when it comes to dressage. He can get cross with the other horses on the lorry, but he is the world's cuddliest horse with people. He is bay and about 163 cm. I'm aiming to take him up a level in eventing during the year,\\\" says Viktoria.
\\r\\n
\\r\\n
\\r\\n
Avicii is six years old.
\\r\\n
\\\"Vicke has been with us for almost six months and has competed at 90 cm level in eventing and jumped clear round 1.20 m showjumping tracks. He jumps for fun and moves really well. He needs plenty of canter work to get him fit and perhaps make him a bit leaner,\\\" she goes on.
\\r\\n
\\r\\n\\r\\n
\\r\\n
Vallös Balotelli is rising five and will soon start his competitive career. He is leggy and has a big canter stride, so it will take him a while to learn to balance himself.
\\r\\n
\\\"He enjoys hacking out and has a wonderful attitude. He loves everyone and will make an exciting project. He's a Dutch Warmblood and his breeding is Baccarat xx-Aquilino,\\\" says Viktoria.
\\r\\n
\\\"When I'm not riding, I work as the head coach of the Swedish junior and young riders eventing team. I'm also an equestrian sport instructor at Sven Eriksonsgymnasiet secondary school in Borås. I hold clinics at home and at other venues and I'm a fully qualified elite trainer,\\\" says Viktoria.
\\r\\n
\\\"In my spare time I enjoy gardening. I grow a lot of things in my garden and greenhouse,\\\" she explains.
\\r\\n
\\r\\n
\\r\\n
Below are Viktoria's favourite products from Hööks:
Do you feel a little rusty, stiff or just want to feel better? Check out our tips on how to stay in good shape both on and off horseback.
\\r\\n
Yoga strengthens your body awareness and is a type of training that all riders, beginners as well as professionals, should work more on. Because when you are really aware of what your body is doing, you can influence your riding in a controlled way. Then you give the signals you actually mean and in this way you make it easier for the horse and increase your team spirit. Check out Yinyoga and yanyoga, examples of yoga that benefit you as a rider. Focus on the exercises that you need. Yinyoga is a kind of stretching that creates stillness and conscious presence where the positions are usually held for 3-7 minutes. Yanyoga is the opposite of yin yoga, a more dynamic, active type of yoga that builds strength, increases mobility and agility.
If you want better endurance, classic cardio training such as running, swimming and cycling are good options. During cardio training, you should reach a maximum heart rate of 60-70% and keep that heart rate for at least 30 minutes. You know you are at the right heart rate level when it feels a little strenuous to talk during exercise. Alternate with interval training and strength training. There are many good outdoor gyms where you can train your equestrian muscles. Here is an exercise that you can also do at home.
\\r\\n
Balance
\\r\\n
The balance is of course important for riders. Here's a simple tip on how to quickly put in a balancing act pretty much anywhere, anytime. But preferably every day. For best effect, do the exercise in the stocking or barefoot. • Rest your right foot against the inside of the calf - place your palms facing each other in front of your chest - stretch your arms (still with your palms facing each other) upwards as far as you can - stay that way or spread your arms to a V - lower and relax your shoulders - raise look at the ceiling (or look straight ahead if it feels better) - stand still and count slowly to 20 (or as far as feels comfortable).Now repeat with left foot towards the inside of the calf etc.If you want to simplify, you can have the heel against the ankle and the toe in the ground. Do you want to complicate, close your eyes.
\\r\\n
Hollow
\\r\\n
• Hollow position is a full body exercise with a focus on the core muscles (back and abdomen). Lie on the ground / floor with your body outstretched - lift your shoulder blades and legs a little above the floor - keep your arms at your sides or let them rest on your body - your crotch and buttocks should remain against the floor. Hold this bowl-like position for about 15-20 seconds or longer. Relax and repeat as many times as you can.
\\r\\n
Breathe
\\r\\n
If you feel stressed when you get to the stable or nervous before the competition, try Nadi Shodhana, a breathing exercise that helps you relax and get better focus. • Use your right thumb and middle finger: start by taking a couple of calm, fairly deep breaths - before exhaling at the second breath, close your right nostril with your thumb and exhale slowly through your left nostril - hold your thumb and then inhale slowly through your left nostril - before exhaling close the left nostril with your middle finger and exhale slowly through the right - then inhale slowly through your right nostril before closing it again and exhale slowly through the left etc.Continue to switch nostrils this way for five to ten minutes. Feel free to repeat several times a day if you have the opportunity.
Agility is a fantastic sport that can be practised at all levels, from fun and recreation to full precision in championship events. You set the level yourself, and having a variety of obstacles at home is a good start. The obstacles should be firmly positioned and the tunnel should be fixed to the ground. It's best to start out with an instructor so you learn all the important basics, both with regard to acquiring skills and preventing accidents. Always consult an expert before starting the exercises. Happy training!
Sandra Glanzén is an agility instructor at Hundspektra in Borås. She trains and enters agility competitions with her dogs Zorro, a Mittelspitz, and Röja, a Sheltie. Check out Sandra's tips to give you and your dog the best possible start to agility.
• Find a reward that your dog will \\\"do anything for\\\", such as a treat or a toy. Keep the training simple to make sure you're always successful and always have fun.
• Start by teaching your dog to run straight ahead (between two hurdle supports) towards a bowl containing a treat or a favourite toy. Start two metres in front of the hurdle supports and send your dog straight towards the reward, which should be placed two metres behind the supports.
• Gradually increase the distance that your dog is required to run straight ahead. Then place a jump pole at the bottom of the supports. Once your dog is used to the pole, raise it one step. Over time, you can gradually add obstacles one at a time. The reward should always be positioned after the last obstacle so your dog is constantly projected forwards. IMPORTANT: Always use low jump heights.

all need to load and transport our horses at some point. It can be for many people a situation which they are not accustomed to, but if they take plenty of time, have the right equipment and a general plan, they can carry out loading safely. Höök's team rider Carl Hedin gives his best tips below for achieving this.\\r\\nCarl has a horse truck which he uses the most. He also has a standard horse trailer, which he can hook up to his horse truck if necessary. He does this when he needs to transport more than two horses. When it comes to loading, safety is an important consideration for both you and your horse.\\r\\n\\\"Make sure that you are wearing gloves, a helmet and proper shoes. Also talk to whoever is going to help you with this task about how you want to load the horse. So that you have a joint plan. It's not definite that whoever is going to help you will load their own horse in the same way as you do. Make sure you have a proper halter or bridle, as well as a good lead rope or lunge line. We always have a leather halter when loading and transporting horses. Some people load their horses in a separate halter, such as a rope halter, and then switch to a leather halter when the horse is in the trailer. It's important for you to get to know your horse so that you know what works for it. A leather halter is recommended when the horses are in transit as the leather will break should something unexpected happen,\\\" says Carl.\\r\\nAnother good tip is to make sure that you have plenty of space around the trailer. Carl explains that people very often think that it should be free towards the back, but it is just as important that you have plenty of space the entire 360 degrees around the trailer. Don't load the horse too close to a manure stack, for example.\\r\\n\\\"If the horse jumps or gets scared, there is a risk that it will get injured if there isn't plenty of free space around.\\\"\\r\\nTry to make the loading process as natural as possible. It should be as easy as possible for the horse to do it properly.\\r\\n\\\"Entering a small space goes against a horse's natural instincts. Open a window or door to let in light. As with everything else, when it comes to horses, you have to train them to do it. Divide the loading process into small steps and enlist the help of someone with more experience if your horse is difficult to load.\\\" \\r\\n\\r\\nWhen it comes to the horse's equipment, Carl tries to keep things as simple as possible. Young horses which have no hind shoes, for example, have no guards at the back.\\r\\n\\\"We usually transport our younger horses with normal tendon boots and boots on their front legs.\\\" A transport cover can sometimes be perceived as unpleasant. So, we make sure that the rug doesn't make the horse feel too hot. A trailer or truck has a small surface area, which allows the horse's body heat to rise quickly. Especially if the horse felt stressed and was sweating. If we can't make our mind up between two rugs, we always opt for the thinner one. If you are transporting two horses in the trailer, you can almost always put a thin rug on them, even in winter. We then make sure that the trailer is well-ventilated. Some horses want to keep their balance by leaning back slightly and being supported by the wall or board. They can preferably have a tail protector or have a fleece bandage wrapped around their tail.\\r\\n \\r\\nSomething that works well for Carl is to give the horses hay during the journey. He finds that the horses are calmer when they have something to occupy themselves with.\\r\\n\\\"This ties in to some extent with our other viewpoint, which is that horses eat grass and they like nothing better than when they have something to chew for most of the day. If you have a hay net in the trailer, it is very important that you hang it high enough so that the horse cannot get caught in it. If an accident were to happen, we have a space in the truck where we always keep an extra halter, lead rope, axe, knife, as well as a water can and bucket. If you get stuck in a traffic jam and are at a standstill for a long time, it is good to have water with you to give to the horses.\\\"\\r\\n \\r\\nSome useful tips:* Always keep an extra halter, lead rope, knife, can of water and a bucket in the trailer.\\r\\n*Make sure you have plenty of time when loading and transporting your horse.\\r\\n*Make sure that you wear proper gear, such as gloves, a riding helmet and proper shoes.\\r\\n* Talk to whoever is helping you with the task before loading your horse so that you load it in a way which suits your horse.\\r\\n* If you are choosing between two different rugs, opt for the thinner one. The horse's body temperature rises quickly in the trailer.\\r\\n* It may be a good idea to have a camera in the trailer so that you can see your horse during the journey.\\r\\n* Get to know your horse and what exactly works for it.\\r\\n* Use a leather halter when transporting your horse.\\r\\n* Have an emergency medical bag in the vehicle.\\r\\n* Tailor the equipment to your horse. Can it have a transport cover or are normal tendon boots and other boots preferable?\",\"__typename\":\"HtmlMetaTag\"},\"$Category:2731.head.metaTags.1\":{\"name\":\"keywords\",\"content\":\"Carl

lessons at the riding school for a while, students often get curious about taking the next step: entering competitions. That's great! But for a novice, it can be difficult for both students and parents to know what's expected of them. We asked Jenny Lindh, a riding teacher, to give some tips and advice for beginners.\\r\\n Right from the very start, all the lessons at the riding school follow a plan to develop students' skills, give them a good foundation and gradually prepare them to enter competitions – if the student wants.- It's important to remember that there's no obligation to take part in competitions. Not everybody wants to. We look at each student's individual needs and preferences and then make a decision with the student and their parents. Some students feel anxious about competing, in which case it's important to start at the right level, says Jenny. - Even a student who has walked the horse over a five centimetre pole has jumped. We should never underestimate the power of thought, and always try to make things fun, she says, smiling. - Once they've tried it, most students enjoy competing and feel they improve every time. All riding is useful, and the more hours spent in the saddle the better.\\r\\n \\r\\nStart with club competitions\\r\\nMost Swedish riding clubs hold competitions for members. Jenny's riding school in Vimmerby in Sweden holds about one competition a month, mainly in jumping but also in dressage. These events provide an introduction to competitive riding. All students at the school can take part without meeting any specific criteria. - They're all free to join in, provided they're accompanied by a parent. The youngest kids walk or sometimes trot over poles on the ground, says Jenny.- And no-one has to jump at any specific height. Even if you jumped 60 centimetres in your lesson, in the competition you can choose 40 or whatever you want. Jenny's riding school is currently trying out a course for children and parents called 'the art of competing' which covers all aspects of riding competitions, from what a course plan looks like to how to bring a horse in from the paddock. Many other riding schools offer the same or equivalent courses. - When parents do the course with their children, it creates a sense of security for the parents, the students and us.\\r\\n \\r\\nSmall kids aren't embarrassed\\r\\nJenny says there are benefits of competing from an early age. - Young kids don't have the mental blocks that can develop with age. For instance, they're not embarrassed when people watch them. They just find it fun. Older children have the advantage of being more mature and physically stronger, but other factors can cause problems instead. It's important to talk to the students if any mental blocks arise, such as feeling embarrassed, and we recommend talking about it at home too.\\r\\n Jenny's advice for beginners\\r\\n For parents whose children want to compete:\\r\\n\\r\\nFind out what is required of parents during competitions and decide whether it will work for you. It could involve anything from giving your child moral support to driving a horse trailer.\\r\\nTake your child to watch a few competitions.\\r\\nSpeak to your riding school about your child's needs. Is he or she ready? Are there things you need to practise more first? Should your child take extra lessons?\\r\\nIf a competition doesn't go as well as your child hoped, you might want to give him or her a little space. A few well-meaning words don't help much if someone is very upset. Having some time out to calm down can do the trick.\\r\\n\\r\\n \\r\\nFor students who want to start competing:\\r\\n\\r\\nDon't focus on how well you perform. Expect to make a few mistakes in your first, second and third competition. Even things your usually find easy can seem difficult when you're nervous. See your first few competitions as practice.\\r\\nSet realistic goals. Choose a lower jump height to get a feel for it.\\r\\nThere's a difference between riding your own pony or the riding school's pony in a competition. With a borrowed pony, you'll have less opportunity to practise together. You might need to practise a little extra to become a good team.\\r\\nEat properly. This might not be easy when you're nervous, but just try to eat whatever you can. Eat and drink properly during the whole day of the competition.\\r\\n\\r\\n \\r\\nMeet Jenny Lindh\\r\\nJenny, 34, is a qualified hippologist. For ten years, she has been a riding teacher at Ryttargården riding school in Vimmerby, Sweden. She started riding at age five and got her first pony at age eleven. She has always loved animals. As a teenager she attended a high school course in hippology and rural studies. But horses remained her greatest passion. She worked at a racing stable while still at school, and later gained an additional qualification in training racehorses. After an injury prevented her from racing, she found a new passion as a teacher at the riding school.\\r\\n- Watching my students develop from tiny tots to teenagers, both as riders and as people, is what motivates me. It's a wonderful thing to take part in, she says.\",\"__typename\":\"HtmlMetaTag\"},\"$Category:828.head.metaTags.1\":{\"name\":\"keywords\",\"content\":\"Entering

Johansson is a show jumping rider who has just stepped up from junior to Young Rider. She is often on the road to competitions together with her four horses and she is happy to share with us here her best packing tips. \\r\\n \\r\\nSince Emma nearly always goes to multi-day competitions, known as \\\"meetings\\\", she uses a competition locker to keep all her stuff in. It always contains those products which are only used in competitions, such as medical products, polish, number holders and clean wipes. Any equipment used at home is polished and packed in the locker before each competition.\\r\\n\\\"I have a list on my mobile so that I can easily check that I'm bringing all the stuff I need with me. A saddle, bridle, saddle girth, safety vest and leg boots are the kind of equipment that is packed and unpacked before every competition. The list helps me ensure that I don't forget anything. Based on past experience, there are some things that I keep a little extra close eye on. One time I forgot my stirrups, but luckily my dad was able to bring them when he was due to come to the competition the next day. Since then, I have always remembered my stirrups. You simply learn from your mistakes.\\\"\\r\\nCable ties and silver tape are \\\"must-have\\\" items which riders always bring with them to a competition.\\r\\n\\\"Wipes are another must-have item so that you can give the horse's bridle or head a quick wipe before entering the track. But I really recommend that everyone should have cable ties and silver tape in their competition locker. They have saved the day in many situations! If you unexpectedly forget something, you usually manage to resolve the situation on site. You very often have a friend you can borrow something from, but the ideal is to have your own stuff with you. At some competition venues there are also a few exhibitors present or a makeshift horse shop where you can find most things.\\\"\\r\\nWhen you get home after a competition weekend, the washing machine is on non-stop. Many items need to be washed before they can be used again.\\r\\n\\\"We always wash everything that needs to be washed and then we check and restock the competition locker with the things that are definitely used in competitions.

She has competed in the Olympic Games, World Championships and Swedish Championships. Many of her horses have performed at high levels over a long period of time. She shares her experience here, as well as lots of useful tips..\\r\\n \\r\\nViktoria's experience has taught her that the optimal age for a horse to enter her system is four to five years old. It is possible to buy an older jumping horse and retrain it for eventing. However, Viktoria says that the horse is usually quite advanced in its training by then and can be slower and more difficult to train for the first few years. A horse being trained for eventing needs to learn many different things.\\\"An eventing horse must be able to jump a hundred or so different obstacles and be well-trained in dressage as well as show jumping. Each discipline takes time to learn and develop. If I get a horse when it's four to five years old, it will hopefully be ready for the slightly larger classes at the age of about nine. If you've laid a good foundation and developed the horse using a sustainable plan, you'll hopefully have a healthy competition companion for another eight years,\\\" Viktoria explains. \\r\\n\\r\\n\\r\\nViktoria always try to ride on as much different surfaces as possible. \\r\\n \\r\\nVariety is crucial\\r\\nSo what is a sustainable plan? According to Viktoria, it's important to build up a team of people with various skills around the horse and rider. Riding on different surfaces and having a skilled, trained farrier, a trainer and a vet are all important elements.\\\"I'm quite sensitive to the riding surface. We have very hard gravel surfaces where I live, so I prefer to only do fitness training after it's rained. Riding on a variety of surfaces is very important. I have a cross-country course on a grassy field and various surfaces at the equestrian centre and in the stables. I've deliberately chosen not to have a fibre surface at home. I think it's fine to train on a fibre surface away from home, but it's not a surface I'd like to ride on every day. Variety is extremely important to me.\\\"\\r\\n\\r\\nIf the horse is sweaty after a ride, it will dry off quickly with a wool rug.\\r\\n\\r\\nViktoria emphasises the importance of maintaining a good relationship and an open dialogue both with the farrier and the vet. Another tip is to find a trainer who can also be a kind of mentor.\\\"I believe it's important to surround yourself with knowledgeable, professional people. Some people think they can reach the top on their own, but other people's knowledge and ideas have always been incredibly important for me.\\r\\n \\r\\nThe importance of routines\\r\\n Another key aspect in producing sustainable horses is having well-established routines for each individual. Before a competition, one horse might need to jump a bit more while another needs an extra dressage session.These are things you learn over time based on the horse's specific needs and temperament. If I have a major competition at the weekend that doesn't require a long journey, my competition week might look like this:\\r\\n \\r\\nMonday: Slightly more intensive dressage sessionTuesday: Ride in the woodsWednesday: JumpingThursday: Ride in the woods at walking paceFriday: Lighter dressage session\\r\\n \\r\\n\\\"What's important to remember is that you can't train extra to catch up before a competition. If I haven't learned something four days before the competition, I won't learn it in the last days either,\\\" says Viktoria. \\r\\n \\r\\n\\r\\nAn exercise sheet is ideal when the temperature cools down. \\r\\n \\r\\n \\r\\nPoultice after galloping\\r\\nGood management also involves taking care of the horses after riding.\\\"After a gallop or a competition, I apply poultice to the horse's legs. Some horses also benefit from a Back on Track quick wrap. Using the right equipment reduces the risk of chafing. If the rug gets wet or sweaty, replace it with a clean, dry one. In the autumn, I prefer to ride with an exercise sheet as it helps the horse's muscles to warm up quicker. And groundwork like long-reining is also very useful. But I'm not very good at it myself so I get help from a girl who's really good. I learn something every time she's here working the horses. My final tip is to never stop asking questions and being curious. Learn from competent people who can help you become a better rider,\\\" concludes Viktoria.\",\"__typename\":\"HtmlMetaTag\"},\"$Category:3004.head.metaTags.1\":{\"name\":\"keywords\",\"content\":\"Viktoria's training tips!\",\"__typename\":\"HtmlMetaTag\"},\"$Category:3004.head\":{\"metaTags\":[{\"type\":\"id\",\"generated\":true,\"id\":\"$Category:3004.head.metaTags.0\",\"typename\":\"HtmlMetaTag\"},{\"type\":\"id\",\"generated\":true,\"id\":\"$Category:3004.head.metaTags.1\",\"typename\":\"HtmlMetaTag\"}],\"title\":\"Viktoria's training tips!\",\"__typename\":\"HtmlHead\"},\"$Category:3004.parent\":{\"name\":\"Competition\",\"__typename\":\"Category\"},\"Category:3004.images.0\":{\"url\":\"https://www.hookseurope.com/pub_images/thumbs/victora_traning_small.jpg\",\"__typename\":\"CategoryImage\"},\"Category:3004.images.1\":{\"url\":\"https://www.hookseurope.com/pub_images/small/victora_traning_small.jpg\",\"__typename\":\"CategoryImage\"},\"Category:3004.images.2\":{\"url\":\"https://www.hookseurope.com/pub_images/medium/victora_traning_small.jpg\",\"__typename\":\"CategoryImage\"},\"Category:3004.images.3\":{\"url\":\"https://www.hookseurope.com/pub_images/large/victora_traning_small.jpg\",\"__typename\":\"CategoryImage\"},\"Category:3004.images.4\":{\"url\":\"https://www.hookseurope.com/pub_images/original/victora_traning_small.jpg\",\"__typename\":\"CategoryImage\"},\"$Category:3004.products\":{\"result\":[],\"__typename\":\"PagedResult\"},\"$Category:208.head.metaTags.0\":{\"name\":\"description\",\"content\":\"Keeping the stable clean is important for a safe stable environment.

What type of fence do you want, should it be more or less maintenance-free, is there an electrical connection close to the paddock?\\r\\nElectric fences are available as wire, tape or rope. For paddocks, use two or three wires/tapes/ropes in the fence at a height of about 60, 90 and 120 cm. These fences are practical and simple to erect using plastic and/or impregnated wooden posts.\\r\\nPlastic fences are usually almost maintenance-free. When choosing plastic, it is important to think about choosing UV-stabilised plastic if you want a fence that looks nice.\\r\\nThe quality of the plastic varies a lot between manufacturers and models; make sure that the plastic is of a high quality and resistant to the cold so that it does not crack. There is also plastic fencing with metal thread incorporated into it that can be electrified.\\r\\nWooden fencing usually requires maintenance, but there are types of wood that reduce the need for maintenance.Painted or impregnated fencing has to be retreated every few years. It is a good idea to supplement a wooden fence with electrical wire placed on the inside in order to prevent the horse chewing on the wood.\\r\\nSheep fencing is unsuitable for horses as there is a very high risk of injury. Since 1 January 2010, it has been illegal to use barbed wire as fencing for horses.\\r\\nThe fencing method will depend on the type of fencing you have chosen. Regardless of the type of fence, it is important to that all the products you choose, whether the wire, posts, insulators or power supply unit, are of a good quality. Good quality products last longer and increase safety.\\r\\nIf the paddock is to be permanent, you should use pressure impregnated posts or sturdy posts made of a better plastic. The posts should be at least 150 cm high. The distance between the posts depends a bit on what you are fencing with. When using wire and the like, the posts should be four to six metres apart, whereas the length of the poles determines the distance if you are using plastic or wooden poles. It is preferable for corner posts to be both longer and a little stronger as the corners are subject to a high load. Consequently, it may even be appropriate to place struts against these posts to make them more stable.\\r\\nIf the paddock will be used by more than one horse, it is a good idea not to make the corners too sharp to prevent one of the horses getting boxed in by the others and becoming injured as a result.\\r\\nIf you have wire/tape/rope and wooden posts, you also need to have insulators as you cannot wind this around or attach it directly to the posts. If you need to join them somewhere, you need to use special joining plates or join locks as it is easy for the filaments in the thread not to make a proper contact with each other if they are simply tied together, which can also damage them and prevent the current from being conducted through the fence as it should.\\r\\nWhen you make a gate, there are a few different types to choose from; everything from a simple gate handle attached to the wire, for example, to ready-prepared elastic gate systems. It is important to know that if you choose what is known as a spring gate, which has a handle attached to a substantial spiral spring, it is easy for the horse's tail to get stuck in the spring, resulting in a dangerous situation.\\r\\nIf you have chosen an electric fence, it is advantageous to have a nearby electrical connection to connect the power supply to. If this is not possible, there are also power supply units that are battery powered, as well as batteries that can be charged by solar cells.\\r\\nGood to know:\\r\\n\\r\\nChoose wire/tape/rope that conducts the current well. The resistance/conductivity is given in ohms. The resistance has to be as low as possible; the lower the number of ohms, the better the conductivity. As a guideline:\\r\\n\\r\\n0.10 ohms/m = very good conductivity\\r\\n4.0 ohms/m = acceptable\\r\\n15 ohms/m = poor\\r\\n\\r\\n\\r\\nIf you need a really strong power supply unit, choose one with a high Joule value, as the number of Joules indicates the amount of energy the unit can be charged with.\\r\\nIf you have impregnated posts, you should use those that are labelled with NTR-A as these cope better with the stresses both over and under the ground.\\r\\nMake sure to earth the power supply properly; the ground should be as damp as possible, i.e. don't place the earth spike close to well-drained foundations.\\r\\nCheck that the wire is carefully tensioned and that grass or tree branches are not caught in the electrical thread. It's good to use a fence tester to ensure that the current in the fence is as it should be.\\r\\nIf your paddock is adjacent to a public road or a footpath, there have to be warning signs to indicate that it is an electric fence.\\r\\nYour power supply unit should be protected if it's not waterproof; you can simply build a small box in which to hang the unit.\\r\\nA special lightning protector can be mounted close to the power supply to protect it from lightning strikes.\\r\\nHorses perceive contrasting colours better and single colours, which is good to know if the electrical thread is thin and difficult to see.\\r\\n\\r\\nUseful measurements:\\r\\n\\r\\nThe posts should be at least 150 cm long in order to be properly fixed into the ground. The corner posts should be both longer and stronger in order to cope with the stress they are put under.\\r\\nThe distance between the posts when using wire or similar should be 4–6 metres. Wide electrical tape is affected by the wind and should be used with shorter distances between the posts.\\r\\nThe wire is normally placed at a height of 60, 90 and 120 cm. If you only have large horses, the two higher measurements are all that are required.\\r\\nThink about having a \\\"corridor\\\" between paddocks or use what are known as Y posts to stop horses from different paddocks coming into contact.\\r\\nIf the paddock is used for grazing, if possible provide c. 1 ha per horse. \\r\\n\\r\\n\",\"__typename\":\"HtmlMetaTag\"},\"$Category:209.head.metaTags.1\":{\"name\":\"keywords\",\"content\":\"Choosing the right fencing\",\"__typename\":\"HtmlMetaTag\"},\"$Category:209.head\":{\"metaTags\":[{\"type\":\"id\",\"generated\":true,\"id\":\"$Category:209.head.metaTags.0\",\"typename\":\"HtmlMetaTag\"},{\"type\":\"id\",\"generated\":true,\"id\":\"$Category:209.head.metaTags.1\",\"typename\":\"HtmlMetaTag\"}],\"title\":\"Hööks Academy | Choosing the right fencing\",\"__typename\":\"HtmlHead\"},\"$Category:209.parent\":{\"name\":\"Safety\",\"__typename\":\"Category\"},\"Category:209.images.0\":{\"url\":\"https://www.hookseurope.com/pub_images/thumbs/stangsla_ratt3.jpg\",\"__typename\":\"CategoryImage\"},\"Category:209.images.1\":{\"url\":\"https://www.hookseurope.com/pub_images/small/stangsla_ratt3.jpg\",\"__typename\":\"CategoryImage\"},\"Category:209.images.2\":{\"url\":\"https://www.hookseurope.com/pub_images/medium/stangsla_ratt3.jpg\",\"__typename\":\"CategoryImage\"},\"Category:209.images.3\":{\"url\":\"https://www.hookseurope.com/pub_images/large/stangsla_ratt3.jpg\",\"__typename\":\"CategoryImage\"},\"Category:209.images.4\":{\"url\":\"https://www.hookseurope.com/pub_images/original/stangsla_ratt3.jpg\",\"__typename\":\"CategoryImage\"},\"$Category:209.products\":{\"result\":[],\"__typename\":\"PagedResult\"},\"$Category:210.head.metaTags.0\":{\"name\":\"description\",\"content\":\"Keeping the stable clean is important for a safe stable environment.

She has been in the industry since 1995 and has worked at Hööks for over 20 years. Beata loves animals and has a horse and a dog: the chocolate brown Labrador \\\"Tuva\\\" – Sångfågelns Cassie who is only 1 year old, and the horse \\\"Liselotte\\\" Keamore Lancelot, 6 years old, e: Lancelot-Cruising-Clover Hill. Beata, or Bea as she's usually called, tells us she started riding when she was about 4. She describes herself as a bit of a \\\"horse trial nerd\\\" . Her horse, Liselotte, is stabled with her trainer, Hööks's sponsored rider Viktoria Carlebäck.\\r\\nBea's most important priority when creating the equestrian range is that all products must be certified with CE, VG1 and BETA labelling. Another priority is to purchase a wide range of good helmets and vests to fit a variety of body and head shapes. Whoever you are and however you look, you should be able to find a suitable helmet or vest at Hööks.\\r\\n \\r\\n\\\"Each person is shaped differently, and to get optimal protection it's important to find a helmet or vest that fits perfectly.\\\"\\r\\n – Beata Dahlén.\\r\\n \\r\\nThe most important thing for a rider, whatever their age, is to have a safety vest and helmet that fits well. It should fit perfectly. Don't buy something with a view to growing into it, Bea warns. The helmet must sit firmly and closely against your head, and the vest must be a snug fit on your body. You should only wear a thin sweater under the vest. Thicker sweaters or jackets can be worn over the vest if necessary. If you want, you can take your measurements yourself before visiting us and then try on a helmet or vest while you're here. You'll find a measurement guide on our website under Hööks Academy. If you'd rather try on helmets with the help of a professional, we suggest you visit one of our Hööks stores.\\r\\nTip! Ask to try on a vest while sitting in the saddle and doing the same movements as when you're riding. How? Sit with your leg in the correct position and make sure your hip doesn't affect the fit of the vest, and that the vest doesn't cause you any discomfort. The vest must neither be too long nor too big. The vest and helmet should fit snugly without gaping, and should remain firmly in place when you move\\r\\n\\r\\nDid you know that Hööks operates in several different countries? Rules and views regarding safety vary between countries, but Bea considers it important to wear a vest in all disciplines. After you start riding with a vest, you'll quickly get used to it. This means it's just as well to start using a vest right from the beginning. Wearing a helmet is essential for riding and all types of equestrian activities, whatever your age. It can be described as an inexpensive life insurance. Never forget that even the most docile horse can jump or buck.\\r\\n \\r\\nAt competitions, it's crucial for riders to follow the rules\\r\\nfor their discipline. Each rider is responsible for finding out the specific facts and rules that apply to them. Beata's tip for riders in horse trials is to combine your safety vest with shoulder protectors during cross-country riding. The shoulder protectors provide added protection for the shoulders and collarbone and can reduce the risk of shoulder and collarbone injuries by up to 80%. If you want an airbag, make sure it's compatible and adapted to the safety vest you're using.\\r\\n \\r\\nBack protectors have become popular recently. It's important to stress that they only protect the back and do not function as a complete safety vest. There are no equestrian standards for the testing of back protectors. Instead, they are tested according to motorcycle standards. As long as you're aware of this, a back protector can be a good choice for experienced riders who for some reason do not want to or cannot use a safety vest when riding. Remember to check the competition rules applicable to your specific country in each individual discipline.

riding captivating? Ask the people of Sweden about who won the Jerring Prize, Swedish radio's popular vote for sports performer of the previous year, in 2017. Or listen to what any of the 125,000 recreational and learner riders have to say about the matter. It is no coincidence that more and more schoolchildren are answering 'working with horses' when asked about their dream job. Nor is it by chance that riding is now seen as a popular movement rather than a luxury sport.\\r\\nToday, for example, equestrianism is one of the biggest sports for the disabled. In 2015 only football was bigger, according to the Swedish Sports Confederation's statistics. In an article based on research from Luleå University of Technology, hastsverige.se reported that the stables environment can actually be regarded as a school for future leaders and entrepreneurs.\\r\\n- Stable girls learn self-leadership and to lead others, something that they benefit from in later life, not least as horse-related entrepreneurs, researcher Mats Westerberg told the site.\\r\\nResponsibility, community, leadership\\r\\nThere is something really special about mucking out, grooming and riding. The interaction between the person and the horse - responsibility, kindness and community - makes you grow as a person.\\r\\nThere are lots of examples of people who have gained new perspectives on their lives thanks to riding. For the journalist Jenny Fagerlund, riding offered a breathing space when she was working a lot or just needed to get away from her everyday life.\\r\\n- I've met friends for life and when I had a horse that I looked after, the stables and the people there were like a second family to me. The horses have taught me so much. Taking responsibility, leadership, daring to do things you didn't think were possible, like getting over high obstacles or galloping flat out across a field, Jenny says.\\r\\nClear physical effects\\r\\nSo what exactly is the secret behind the resurgence of the stable, the explanation for how over a thousand riding clubs are now affiliated to the Swedish Equestrian Federation?

They are adapted to discipline and effect. Most bridles are made from leather, but there are also synthetic versions.\\r\\nThere are six different bridle sizes: mini, shetland, pony, cob, full and extra full. Ponies in section B and smaller ones in C can normally wear a pony bridle, while larger ponies in sections C and D can wear a cob. However, certain breeds of pony have very small noses and a wide forehead. If this is the case, you can buy the smaller size bridle along with a larger size browband.\\r\\nThe four most common types of noseband\\r\\nThe four most common types of noseband for an English bridle are the drop noseband, the plain/English cavesson, the flash noseband and the figure-eight noseband.\\r\\nDrop noseband\\r\\nThe drop noseband is sometimes also referred to as a remont, after the old military designation for a young horse. It is an excellent choice for young horses, as it is fastened underneath the snaffle, which means it does not pinch any of the teeth that may be tender, for example, when changing over from the primary teeth.\\r\\nThis noseband is fairly lenient, as it does not need to be tightened very hard to prevent the horse from opening its mouth. It also works just as well on an adult horse.\\r\\nPlain/English cavesson\\r\\nThe cavesson runs underneath the cheek pieces of the bridle, approximately two centimetres below the cheekbone. This is a simple noseband, which comes in thinner or slightly wider versions. When fastened correctly, you should be able to place two fingers between the nasal bone and the band. Never pull it tighter than this.\\r\\nIf you have a young horse (younger than six years old) it is important that you look out for chafing caused by the noseband on the inside of the cheek, in connection to teeth changes.\\r\\nFlash noseband\\r\\nThe flash noseband is similar to the English cavesson, but it has an additional strap that you fasten underneath the snaffle to prevent the horse from opening its mouth.\\r\\nWhen you fasten this noseband, it is important to start with the upper strap and then the lower, so that the noseband is not pulled downwards. The lower strap prevents the horse from opening its mouth.\\r\\nFigure-eight noseband\\r\\n This noseband is suitable for a more energetic horse. It may also be a good fit for a young horse, since the straps do not cause pressure on the teeth in the same way that the cavesson and the flash do.\\r\\nThe figure-eight noseband consists of two straps that cross over on the nasal bone. The top strap should be placed a bit up the horse's cheek, and the lower one should lie just underneath the snaffle.\\r\\nIn later years, new models have been developed based on these four, but with a few extra details.\\r\\nHow to fit the bridle\\r\\nThe browband should lie flat against the forehead. It must not be too short, so that it pulls on and pinches the area behind the ears. You should be able to fit an open hand between the throatlatch and the horse's cheek, to ensure that the strap is not obstructing its breathing. The flash/cavesson should be placed around two fingers down from the horse's cheekbone to avoid chafing. It must not be placed too far down either, as this can cause pinching between the snaffle and the noseband. You should be able to fit two fingers under the noseband.\\r\\nBitless bridles\\r\\nThere are also bitless bridles where the piece that looks like the noseband has straps for fastening the reins. These straps cross over under the chin/cheek. When you pull on the rein, it creates pressure on the opposite cheek piece, which allows you to steer the horse as it moves away from the pressure.\\r\\nSidepull bridle\\r\\nThe sidepull is a bitless bridle that guides the horse through pressure on the nasal bone and cheek pieces. The sidepull allows for better neck control compared to the hackamore.\\r\\nDouble bridle\\r\\nThe double bridle is primarily used in dressage. This bridle has double cheek pieces, to allow you to fasten a bradoon bit as well as a curb bit. It is usually combined with an English cavesson. This bridle requires double reins.\\r\\nChoice of reins\\r\\nThe choice of reins is normally a matter of taste. There are reins completely make from leather, with or without stops, laced or plain. There are also leather reins with one part made from rubber to provide the best possible grip. The most common rein is probably the rubber weave reins with stops. When you select your reins, you should test and compare a great variety to find the one that fits your hand best. If you are jumping or riding in rough terrain, reins with a good grip, such as a rubber rein or one with many stops, will be preferable. If you do more dressage, you may want a completely smooth leather rein or one with very small stops.\\r\\nBrowband\\r\\nThe browband is the jewel of the bridle. There is a great variety of choice; from completely plain and discrete to generously decorated ones with beads and bling. It is important to ensure that the browband is not too short, which causes it to pull the head and cheek pieces forward and causes discomfort as well as chafing and pressure on the horse's ears.\\r\\nIcelandic bridle\\r\\nThe bridle for an Icelandic horse will normally consist of a headpiece, cheek pieces and a noseband. Many opt out of using a browband, and the Icelandic bridle rarely has a throatlock. The nosebands are often drop models, but more and more flash nosebands for Icelandic horses have appeared. The reins are most often fastened to the snaffle with snap hook.\\r\\nWestern\\r\\nWestern bridles often have plenty of decorations and hardly ever use a noseband. If, on the other hand, you are using a sidepull, there is no bit, but the horse is steered and controlled through pressure on the nasal bone and sides of the face.\\r\\n\\r\\n \",\"__typename\":\"HtmlMetaTag\"},\"$Category:219.head.metaTags.1\":{\"name\":\"keywords\",\"content\":\"Horse equipment\",\"__typename\":\"HtmlMetaTag\"},\"$Category:219.head\":{\"metaTags\":[{\"type\":\"id\",\"generated\":true,\"id\":\"$Category:219.head.metaTags.0\",\"typename\":\"HtmlMetaTag\"},{\"type\":\"id\",\"generated\":true,\"id\":\"$Category:219.head.metaTags.1\",\"typename\":\"HtmlMetaTag\"}],\"title\":\"Horse equipment\",\"__typename\":\"HtmlHead\"},\"$Category:219.parent\":{\"name\":\"Hööks Academy\",\"__typename\":\"Category\"},\"$Category:219.products\":{\"result\":[],\"__typename\":\"PagedResult\"},\"$Category:220.head.metaTags.0\":{\"name\":\"description\",\"content\":\"Take good care of your equipment – this is how you do it.\",\"__typename\":\"HtmlMetaTag\"},\"$Category:220.head.metaTags.1\":{\"name\":\"keywords\",\"content\":\"Cleaning bridle, cleaning saddle, cleaning leather, leather care, equipment care horse, taking care of riding equipment, cleaning riding equipment, washing saddlecloth \",\"__typename\":\"HtmlMetaTag\"},\"$Category:220.head\":{\"metaTags\":[{\"type\":\"id\",\"generated\":true,\"id\":\"$Category:220.head.metaTags.0\",\"typename\":\"HtmlMetaTag\"},{\"type\":\"id\",\"generated\":true,\"id\":\"$Category:220.head.metaTags.1\",\"typename\":\"HtmlMetaTag\"}],\"title\":\"How to take care of your equipment\",\"__typename\":\"HtmlHead\"},\"$Category:220.parent\":{\"name\":\"Horse equipment\",\"__typename\":\"Category\"},\"Category:220.images.0\":{\"url\":\"https://www.hookseurope.com/pub_images/thumbs/ta-hand-om_din_utrustning.jpg\",\"__typename\":\"CategoryImage\"},\"Category:220.images.1\":{\"url\":\"https://www.hookseurope.com/pub_images/small/ta-hand-om_din_utrustning.jpg\",\"__typename\":\"CategoryImage\"},\"Category:220.images.2\":{\"url\":\"https://www.hookseurope.com/pub_images/medium/ta-hand-om_din_utrustning.jpg\",\"__typename\":\"CategoryImage\"},\"Category:220.images.3\":{\"url\":\"https://www.hookseurope.com/pub_images/large/ta-hand-om_din_utrustning.jpg\",\"__typename\":\"CategoryImage\"},\"Category:220.images.4\":{\"url\":\"https://www.hookseurope.com/pub_images/original/ta-hand-om_din_utrustning.jpg\",\"__typename\":\"CategoryImage\"},\"$Category:220.products\":{\"result\":[],\"__typename\":\"PagedResult\"},\"$Category:221.head.metaTags.0\":{\"name\":\"description\",\"content\":\"Which rug should you use for your horse and when?

can ensure a really enjoyable riding trip or time in the stables, whatever the weather or season, by taking care in how you dress. Of course, we can't promise that your horse will be in a good mood, but with the right riding clothes at least you won't be freezing or sweaty. We asked our designer Ann-Therese Helgesson for tips on how to dress - whatever the weather.\\r\\nSpring/summer\\r\\n✓ Riding breeches reduce the risk of chafing. It's down to personal preference whether you have full or half-seat breeches or whether or not you have silicone padding. Invest in a pair of breeches made of technical material that are dirt-resistant, quick-drying, water-repellent and offer UV protection. If you go riding in a pair of leggings, they need to be comfortable and not have any irritating seams.\\r\\n✓ T-shirt, piqué polo, light shirt, technical shirt or knitted top? This depends on where and how you are going to be riding. If you're out in the woods where there's a risk of cuts and scrapes from foliage, it may be wise, for example, to choose a long-sleeved top that offers the best protection.\\r\\n✓ Sadly, summertime often brings rain. If you're just going from the stable to the riding hall, clearly a poncho will do, but if you're off out riding in the woods, the comfortable option is to wear a rain jacket.\\r\\n✓ Thin summer gloves will both protect your hands and give you a better grip on the reins.\\r\\n✓ A ventilated lightweight helmet will stop you getting too hot, even in sunny conditions.\\r\\n✓ A belt bag will allow you to carry your phone even on hot days when you're riding in just a T-shirt and breeches. Practical and good.\\r\\n✓ Finally, choose a pair of riding boots, jodhpurs or chaps that fit well.\\r\\nAutumn/winter, indoors\\r\\nTo avoid being cold - or unnecessarily sweaty - the best solution is layering. You can always add or remove a layer during your session. Equestrianism is a physically demanding sport that benefits from the use of technical clothing tailored to the kind of riding you intend to do.\\r\\n✓ Riding breeches reduce the risk of chafing. It's down to personal preference whether you have full or half-seat breeches or whether or not you have silicone padding. Invest in a winter model in a soft shell material. They are stretchy, with fleece on the reverse and a brushed inside to improve airflow. Wear thermals if you need that little bit of extra warmth.\\r\\n✓ Many riders come to their lessons wearing a gilet, a microfleece jacket and a coat. Your gilet should have elasticated sides and be thin but still warm where it really makes a difference. A thin gilet also makes it easy for your instructor to see how you are sitting and moving in the saddle.\\r\\n✓ If you ride a lot and want to improve the circulation in your calves so that they don't go numb and stiff, compression socks are what you need. They also reduce muscle soreness afterwards. But I'd also like to bang the drum for woolly socks. Wool is a fantastic material - all year round.\\r\\n✓ Invest in a pair of ordinary riding gloves in a flexible synthetic material with a soft mesh upper, or a pair of leather gloves.\\r\\n✓ You can wear a riding skirt on the way to training and during the warm-up. It will keep your thighs warm, a part of the body that often gets cold.\\r\\n\\r\\nAutumn/winter, outdoors\\r\\n✓ A good, durable set of thermals is a must. You should also invest in a fleece or a knitted sweater and a thick jacket. If, for example, you're going at walking pace for an hour, you can easily get cold unless you have a jacket to keep you warm. For full-on interval workouts or gallop sessions, a shell jacket works well even in the cold if you do a good job with your layering.\\r\\n✓ With overalls, you automatically get warmth all over in one go. But be sure not to overdress! It's never cool to have to get sweaty and sticky.\\r\\n✓ A buff is great for stopping the cold air getting into your jacket via your neck. You can also wear it over your head under your helmet so that the buff covers your cheeks. You can see your buff as a multi-purpose tool when it's windy.\\r\\n✓ Thick summer gloves with padding on the top will both protect your hands from the cold and give you a good grip on the reins.\\r\\n✓ Your feet are particularly vulnerable to the cold. Remember that you should always be able to wriggle your toes, so don't put five pairs of socks on and hope that that will solve the problem. Your toes need space. Instead, go riding wearing lots of layers, woolly socks and a woollen insole. Your thighs, too, are exposed in winter, so invest in a longer riding skirt or coat. Also invest in padded trousers and some Earbags to protect your ears. \",\"__typename\":\"HtmlMetaTag\"},\"$Category:814.head.metaTags.1\":{\"name\":\"keywords\",\"content\":\"How to dress\",\"__typename\":\"HtmlMetaTag\"},\"$Category:814.head\":{\"metaTags\":[{\"type\":\"id\",\"generated\":true,\"id\":\"$Category:814.head.metaTags.0\",\"typename\":\"HtmlMetaTag\"},{\"type\":\"id\",\"generated\":true,\"id\":\"$Category:814.head.metaTags.1\",\"typename\":\"HtmlMetaTag\"}],\"title\":\"How to dress for your riding trip\",\"__typename\":\"HtmlHead\"},\"$Category:814.parent\":{\"name\":\"Rider´s equipment\",\"__typename\":\"Category\"},\"Category:814.images.0\":{\"url\":\"https://www.hookseurope.com/pub_images/thumbs/kvadrat-KlaDigRatt.jpg\",\"__typename\":\"CategoryImage\"},\"Category:814.images.1\":{\"url\":\"https://www.hookseurope.com/pub_images/small/kvadrat-KlaDigRatt.jpg\",\"__typename\":\"CategoryImage\"},\"Category:814.images.2\":{\"url\":\"https://www.hookseurope.com/pub_images/medium/kvadrat-KlaDigRatt.jpg\",\"__typename\":\"CategoryImage\"},\"Category:814.images.3\":{\"url\":\"https://www.hookseurope.com/pub_images/large/kvadrat-KlaDigRatt.jpg\",\"__typename\":\"CategoryImage\"},\"Category:814.images.4\":{\"url\":\"https://www.hookseurope.com/pub_images/original/kvadrat-KlaDigRatt.jpg\",\"__typename\":\"CategoryImage\"},\"$Category:814.products\":{\"result\":[],\"__typename\":\"PagedResult\"},\"$Category:1424.head.metaTags.0\":{\"name\":\"description\",\"content\":\"\\r\\nAll riding breeches has it’s own combination of fit, material and function. The fit is the most important thing, it should be comfortable. That’s why it’s so important that you try on a number of different breeches so you will find the perfect match for your shape. Because even though all riding breeches are stretchy, the fit varies. A great tip along the way are that you should be able to move freely, bend your knees and squat. \\r\\nQuality and features \\r\\nOur riding breeches are made in different material combinations/functional materials so that you can customize your choice according to season and temperature. Remember that you should like the material, that it feels nice on your body. Then find out the different properties of the material combo. If the pants are in four-way stretch, they have an extra good fit and give you maximum freedom of movement. If you choose a functional material, it is usually breathable, but can also be dirt-repellent, quick-drying and UV-proof.\\r\\nSome models have some special features. Our riding breeches in stretchy soft shell are for example warm lined with fleece on the inside which makes it a popular winter breech. There are also high-tech riding pants with Icefil® that keep you cool and carry moisture away from the body, Core Control Technology ™, which provides extra support to the core muscles (abdomen and back) and Calf Fit System ™ which provides calf and ankle support plus relieves pressure points and friction in the boots.\\r\\nFunctions\\r\\nChoose features based on what you need in your riding. Silicone / PU are materials that in different ways give good grip depending on the designs they have and where these designs are placed. If the pants are fully cushioned, it can be with Daewoo or silicone / PU. Generally, a full-length trouser gives better grip in the saddle, but most of it is about your own experience and what improves your riding. The half-padded breeches have better grip at the knees while the knee-reinforced has double fabric at the knees and is an option for those who do not want any grip function at all. \\r\\nDetails\\r\\nThe waist of the riding breeches is usually higher at the back to avoid uncomfortable slips and that it becomes too \\\"choppy\\\" when sitting in the saddle. The seams are strategically positioned so that you do not get scuffs and the leg closures are either in elastic material or have Velcro fasteners, which makes it easy and comfortable to hold the pants in place. Leg length you choose according to what you enjoy with as we also have pants with slightly longer legs. Practical pockets with or without zipper and stylish decor are other details that lift the look.\\r\\nRiding leggings\\r\\nComfortable and flexible variant of riding breeches with elastic waistband and different grips.\\r\\nFull chaps\\r\\nMore and more riders are realizing how easy it is to become ready for the horseback without having to change clothes. The opportunities for full chaps vary from being a coverall that keeps you clean when mucking and brushing in the stable, dry when riding out in the rain or snow and of course keeping you look good. You don't have to jump off to take them off. Sit comfortably in the saddle and just open the zippers along the legs and the adjustable belt at the waist.\\r\\nThe classic materials are suede and nipple, but today there are also models in warm stretchy neoprene with silicone-cushioned knees for good grip and weather-resistant waterproof nylon that are both easy to carry and bring with you. If you find it difficult to find riding boots that fit, short chaps work well with riding shoes.\\r\\nThermo pants\\r\\nThis is the pants that makes it nice to ride out in the cold. Pull them on the riding breeches or over a pair of nice thermo leggings and enjoy the moment with the horse. Our thermo pants are fully cushioned to give the best grip in the saddle. It is lined, waterproof and breathable. The waist is elastic and the seams are taped. The zippers on the legs facilitate when you put them on and off. If you want a lighter version when you’re hanging on the stand or in the stable, try the cover up skirt. Stylish, practical and comfortable warming. Even when sitting on horseback, of course.\\r\\n \",\"__typename\":\"HtmlMetaTag\"},\"$Category:1424.head.metaTags.1\":{\"name\":\"keywords\",\"content\":\"Riding breeches alpha and omega\",\"__typename\":\"HtmlMetaTag\"},\"$Category:1424.head\":{\"metaTags\":[{\"type\":\"id\",\"generated\":true,\"id\":\"$Category:1424.head.metaTags.0\",\"typename\":\"HtmlMetaTag\"},{\"type\":\"id\",\"generated\":true,\"id\":\"$Category:1424.head.metaTags.1\",\"typename\":\"HtmlMetaTag\"}],\"title\":\"Hööks Academy | Ridbyxor\",\"__typename\":\"HtmlHead\"},\"$Category:1424.parent\":{\"name\":\"Rider´s equipment\",\"__typename\":\"Category\"},\"Category:1424.images.0\":{\"url\":\"https://www.hookseurope.com/pub_images/thumbs/kvadrat-ridbyxans-ao.jpg\",\"__typename\":\"CategoryImage\"},\"Category:1424.images.1\":{\"url\":\"https://www.hookseurope.com/pub_images/small/kvadrat-ridbyxans-ao.jpg\",\"__typename\":\"CategoryImage\"},\"Category:1424.images.2\":{\"url\":\"https://www.hookseurope.com/pub_images/medium/kvadrat-ridbyxans-ao.jpg\",\"__typename\":\"CategoryImage\"},\"Category:1424.images.3\":{\"url\":\"https://www.hookseurope.com/pub_images/large/kvadrat-ridbyxans-ao.jpg\",\"__typename\":\"CategoryImage\"},\"Category:1424.images.4\":{\"url\":\"https://www.hookseurope.com/pub_images/original/kvadrat-ridbyxans-ao.jpg\",\"__typename\":\"CategoryImage\"},\"$Category:1424.products\":{\"result\":[],\"__typename\":\"PagedResult\"},\"$Category:2221.head.metaTags.0\":{\"name\":\"description\",\"content\":\"\\r\\nHööks always strives to manufacture premium quality products, and places high demands on quality. It is important to care for the products correctly to maximise their lifespan. Avoid washing textile products more often than necessary, as this can shorten their lifespan and also causes negative environmental impact.\\r\\n \\r\\nTechnical clothing that is water-repellent / breathable\\r\\nTechnical clothing should not be washed more often than necessary. However, it is worth bearing in mind that if technical materials get too dirty, they become less breathable and also less water-repellent. When washing the garments, follow their specific washing instructions carefully. Close Velcro fastenings, zips, buttons, etc. before washing to reduce wear. Do not use fabric conditioner on technical garments, as this reduces the garment's function and harms the environment.\\r\\nAll technical garments gradually lose their water-repellent properties with both normal use and washing. If the water on the surface stops forming drops, you can reactivate the waterproofing by applying low heat to the garment, for instance using an iron or a tumble drier.\\r\\nIf this treatment stops having an effect, we recommend that you restore the waterproofing. Use a waterproofing treatment that is free from fluorocarbons and follow the garment's washing instructions when applying the treatment.\\r\\nSynthetic material\\r\\nMost synthetic materials are relatively easy to care for and can be washed in an ordinary washing machine. Avoid washing the garments more often than necessary, to spare both the garment and the environment. Follow the washing instructions carefully and don't use fabric conditioner. Avoid tumble drying the garment if possible, but follow the recommendations in the washing instructions.\\r\\nCotton\\r\\nWhen washing cotton products, always follow the garment's washing instructions and avoid using fabric conditioner. Not tumble drying your garments prolongs their lifespan and also saves energy.\\r\\nWool\\r\\nWool fibres are naturally dirt-repellent and antibacterial, and for this reason it's often enough to air your woollen garments to freshen them up. When washing wool, always follow the garment's washing instructions carefully since all woollen garments are not machine-washable. Avoid washing the garment at too high a temperature. If the garment is machine washable, use your washing machine's wool cycle. If woollen items are washed on a cycle that is too hard or vigorous, the wool can get matted and the garment can shrink. Don't use fabric conditioner when washing woollen garments, as it can damage the wool fibres.\\r\\nWaterproofing\\r\\nHööks only uses water-repellent treatments that are free from fluorocarbons (PFCs). This is because PFCs are harmful both to people and the environment. The water-repellent properties gradually wear off with both washing and use. When this happens, we recommend that you restore the waterproofing. Use a waterproofing treatment that is free from fluorocarbons (PFC free), and follow the garment's washing instructions when applying the treatment.\",\"__typename\":\"HtmlMetaTag\"},\"$Category:2221.head.metaTags.1\":{\"name\":\"keywords\",\"content\":\"Care instructions – clothing\",\"__typename\":\"HtmlMetaTag\"},\"$Category:2221.head\":{\"metaTags\":[{\"type\":\"id\",\"generated\":true,\"id\":\"$Category:2221.head.metaTags.0\",\"typename\":\"HtmlMetaTag\"},{\"type\":\"id\",\"generated\":true,\"id\":\"$Category:2221.head.metaTags.1\",\"typename\":\"HtmlMetaTag\"}],\"title\":\"Care instructions – clothing\",\"__typename\":\"HtmlHead\"},\"$Category:2221.parent\":{\"name\":\"Rider´s equipment\",\"__typename\":\"Category\"},\"Category:2221.images.0\":{\"url\":\"https://www.hookseurope.com/pub_images/thumbs/skotsel_klader_kvadrat.jpg\",\"__typename\":\"CategoryImage\"},\"Category:2221.images.1\":{\"url\":\"https://www.hookseurope.com/pub_images/small/skotsel_klader_kvadrat.jpg\",\"__typename\":\"CategoryImage\"},\"Category:2221.images.2\":{\"url\":\"https://www.hookseurope.com/pub_images/medium/skotsel_klader_kvadrat.jpg\",\"__typename\":\"CategoryImage\"},\"Category:2221.images.3\":{\"url\":\"https://www.hookseurope.com/pub_images/large/skotsel_klader_kvadrat.jpg\",\"__typename\":\"CategoryImage\"},\"Category:2221.images.4\":{\"url\":\"https://www.hookseurope.com/pub_images/original/skotsel_klader_kvadrat.jpg\",\"__typename\":\"CategoryImage\"},\"$Category:2221.products\":{\"result\":[],\"__typename\":\"PagedResult\"},\"$Category:650.head.metaTags.0\":{\"name\":\"keywords\",\"content\":\"Materials & functional garments\",\"__typename\":\"HtmlMetaTag\"},\"$Category:650.head\":{\"metaTags\":[{\"type\":\"id\",\"generated\":true,\"id\":\"$Category:650.head.metaTags.0\",\"typename\":\"HtmlMetaTag\"}],\"title\":\"Materials & functional garments\",\"__typename\":\"HtmlHead\"},\"$Category:650.parent\":{\"name\":\"Hööks Academy\",\"__typename\":\"Category\"},\"$Category:650.products\":{\"result\":[],\"__typename\":\"PagedResult\"},\"$Category:651.head.metaTags.0\":{\"name\":\"description\",\"content\":\"\\r\\nBack on Track products feature modern, scientific textile technology, based on unique combinations of reflective minerals that are melted into the fabric. The natural minerals catch the natural warmth from your body and transform it into long-wave infrared energy, which is then reflected back to your skin, joints and muscles. Humans and animals radiate body heat both at rest and during activity, so the products can be used whenever is most convenient.\\r\\nThe value of the energy reflected and stored by the fabric is known as the emissivity value. The level of emissivity is adapted to each product as well as its application area in order to achieve the best balance and the desired effect. The amount of radiation that a fabric gives off is affected by the minerals chosen and their composition. Back on Track products have excellent breathability. This prevents heat being trapped or insulated – it is the infrared energy that provides the effect.\\r\\nThe natural infrared energy is known to boost blood circulation and promote the production of nitric oxide in blood vessels. Perfect for recovery or to loosen up tense muscles. The effect can be experienced in different ways. Some individuals feel a warm sensation, but the feeling varies. The results of using the product also vary between individuals.\\r\\nHow to use the product\\r\\nWhen you start using Back On Track\\r\\nOur products should be introduced gradually to allow the body to get used to their effect. Use the product for a maximum of 4 hours on the first 2-3 days, then gradually increase the duration by one hour at a time.\\r\\nAfter the introduction period\\r\\nAfter the introduction period, use the products for a minimum of 8 hours per day, preferably even longer. After a few hours of use, a beneficial effect is achieved on tense muscles and stiff joints. It can take 10-20 days before maximum results are achieved. \\r\\nAfter this, you should use the product in the way you feel is most effective. For instance, you might find it effective to use the product for a longer period and then take a break. Alternatively, you can try using it for a shorter period of a few hours a day during activity, or during the night. \\r\\nIf you notice the effect subsiding after a period of use, it can help to take a break from using the product. After this neutralisation period, you can reintroduce the product.\\r\\nInitial reactions to the products\\r\\nThe increased blood flow can cause some people to experience irritation, swelling or soreness in the problem area during the initial period of use. The reaction is individual and varies from person to person. \\r\\nHorses and dogs may also experience an initial reaction. Pay attention to your animal's behaviour and reactions when using the products.\\r\\nThe initial reaction or swelling may occur after just an hour or two of use. In the event of discomfort, stop using the product for the rest of the day. Then try introducing the product gradually over the following days. \\r\\nGood to know\\r\\nHumans and animals radiate body heat both at rest and during activity, so the products can be used whenever is most convenient. The effect is greatest during activity when the body temperature rises and the reflection becomes stronger. \\r\\nOur products work best in direct contact with the skin, but they also work with a thin layer of fabric underneath.\\r\\nOnly use the product according to the instructions and consult your doctor if symptoms persist. If you are undergoing medical treatment, consult your doctor if you unsure how the product could affect your treatment. \\r\\nDo not use when pregnant. \\r\\nCaution is recommended when using with ointments, etc., which may enhance the effect. \\r\\nAbout the technologies\\r\\nWelltex®\\r\\nWelltex® is Back On Track's first and most renowned technology. Welltex® has the highest emissivity value (reflection of long-wave infrared energy), making it ideal for preparation and recovery.\\r\\nIontex®\\r\\nIontex® technology has the same basic concept as Welltex® and is developed for products made of lightweight and highly elastic fabrics. The minerals in Iontex® are antibacterial and quick-drying and can increase endurance.\\r\\nHaematex™\\r\\nHaematex™ is a high-tech material used for sportswear, containing minerals that reuse the body's natural energy.

For this reason, we don't recommend using riding boots or shoes in the stable. Instead, we recommend you use rubber boots or clean your shoes or boots thoroughly after each use.\\r\\n\\r\\n\\r\\n \\r\\n\\r\\n\\r\\nUSE THE RIGHT PRODUCT FOR THE MATERIAL\\r\\n\\r\\n\\r\\nAlways use the shoe care product recommended, as it is specially designed to be used for the material in your shoes. Certain materials, such as suede and nubuck, are delicate and require specific care.\\r\\n\\r\\n\\r\\n \\r\\n\\r\\n\\r\\nNEW SHOES\\r\\n\\r\\n\\r\\nBear in mind that new shoes do not provide adequate protection against dirt and water. Treat new shoes with a suitable waterrproofing or conditioning product before first use and then at regular intervals. This will prolong their lifespan.\\r\\n\\r\\n\\r\\n \\r\\n\\r\\n\\r\\nZIPS NEED CARE TOO\\r\\n\\r\\n\\r\\nClean the zip with a small brush and dry as necessary. If a zip gets stuck, never force it. Instead, remove any mud or sand. Open the zip all the way before putting on your shoes or boots, to avoid damaging it.\\r\\n\\r\\n\\r\\n \\r\\n\\r\\n\\r\\nREPLACE INSOLES REGULARLY\\r\\n\\r\\n\\r\\n\\r\\nInsoles not only improve comfort and fit but also absorb moisture, which helps to keep both your feet and shoes healthy.\\r\\n\\r\\n\\r\\n\\r\\n \\r\\n\\r\\n\\r\\n\\r\\nBOOT STRETCHER\\r\\n\\r\\n\\r\\n\\r\\nAlways use a boot stretcher or boot hanger. This protects the leather and zips while helping to maintain the shape of the boot shaft and preventing it from creasing.\\r\\n\\r\\n\\r\\n \\r\\n\\r\\n\\r\\nON AND OFF\\r\\n\\r\\n\\r\\nAlways use a shoehorn to put your boots on. This prolongs the life of the heel cap. Use a boot jack to take them off.\\r\\n\\r\\n\\r\\n \\r\\n\\r\\n\\r\\nTake good care of your shoes and boots to prolong their lifespan.\\r\\n\\r\\n\\r\\nWhen leather is cared for correctly, its appearance will often improve with age.\\r\\n\\r\\n\\r\\n \\r\\n\\r\\n\\r\\n\\r\\n\\r\\n\\r\\n\\r\\n \\r\\n\\r\\nCLEANING\\r\\n\\r\\n\\r\\n\\r\\nLeather\\r\\nRemove dirt with a shoe brush and use an appropriate product such as leather soap to treat stubborn stains.\\r\\n\\r\\n\\r\\nOiled leather\\r\\nRemove dirt with a shoe brush and use leather soap or another appropriate product where necessary.\\r\\n\\r\\n\\r\\nSynthetic leather\\r\\nRemove dirt with a shoe brush and use a cloth with a mild soap solution where necessary\\r\\n\\r\\n\\r\\nPatent leather\\r\\nUse a lotion or spray designed for cleaning patent leather.\\r\\n\\r\\n\\r\\nNubuck\\r\\nBuff with a suede brush or a buffing block. Pay extra attention to stains, salt marks and shiny areas.\\r\\n\\r\\n\\r\\nMixed materials tex-materials\\r\\nRemove dirt with a shoe brush and use a cleaning product appropriate for the material.\\r\\n\\r\\n\\r\\n \\r\\n \\r\\n\\r\\n\\r\\n \\r\\n\\r\\nCARE\\r\\n\\r\\n\\r\\n\\r\\nLeather\\r\\nTreat with leather conditioner or shoe polish. Natural or a matching colour. Allow to dry for 15 minutes, then brush the product into the leather. Buff with a polishing cloth for a deep shine.\\r\\n\\r\\n\\r\\nOiled leather\\r\\nTreat with oil, leather conditioner or spray. This gives the oil a newly oiled finish and also protects and waterproofs it. Note that this treatment will darken the appearance of light-coloured leather.\\r\\n\\r\\n\\r\\nSynthetic leather\\r\\nUse a buffing sponge to improve the shine. Use shoe polish or instant shine polish to restore the colour.\\r\\n\\r\\n\\r\\nPatent leather\\r\\nUse a lotion or spray designed for cleaning patent leather.\\r\\n\\r\\n\\r\\nNubuck\\r\\nUse an appropriate polish to restore and waterproof your shoes. Allow the polish dry for 10 minutes, then rough up the surface with a suede brush.\\r\\n\\r\\n\\r\\nMixed materials tex-materials\\r\\nUse a product appropriate for the outer material.\\r\\n\\r\\n\\r\\n \\r\\n \\r\\n\\r\\n\\r\\n \\r\\n\\r\\nPROTECT\\r\\n\\r\\n\\r\\n\\r\\nLeather\\r\\nUse a waterproofing spray for a water-repellent surface. Treat leather outersoles with an appropriate waterproofing product, or have the shoes or boots resoled.\\r\\n\\r\\n\\r\\nOiled leather\\r\\nUse a waterproofing spray to improve their resistance to water.\\r\\n\\r\\n\\r\\nSynthetic leather\\r\\nUse a waterproofing spray appropriate for synthetic materials.\\r\\n\\r\\n\\r\\nPatent leather\\r\\nDo not use waterproofing spray on patent leather shoes.\\r\\n\\r\\n\\r\\nNubuck\\r\\nApply waterproofing spray, allow to dry and then fluff up the surface with a suede brush. Repeat as necessary. Allow to dry between treatments.\\r\\n\\r\\n\\r\\nMixed materials tex-materials\\r\\nUse waterproofing spray.\\r\\n\\r\\n\\r\\n\",\"__typename\":\"HtmlMetaTag\"},\"$Category:1577.head.metaTags.1\":{\"name\":\"keywords\",\"content\":\"Shoe care guide\",\"__typename\":\"HtmlMetaTag\"},\"$Category:1577.head\":{\"metaTags\":[{\"type\":\"id\",\"generated\":true,\"id\":\"$Category:1577.head.metaTags.0\",\"typename\":\"HtmlMetaTag\"},{\"type\":\"id\",\"generated\":true,\"id\":\"$Category:1577.head.metaTags.1\",\"typename\":\"HtmlMetaTag\"}],\"title\":\"Shoe care guide\",\"__typename\":\"HtmlHead\"},\"$Category:1577.parent\":{\"name\":\"Materials & functional garments\",\"__typename\":\"Category\"},\"Category:1577.images.0\":{\"url\":\"https://www.hookseurope.com/pub_images/thumbs/testtestsko.jpg\",\"__typename\":\"CategoryImage\"},\"Category:1577.images.1\":{\"url\":\"https://www.hookseurope.com/pub_images/small/testtestsko.jpg\",\"__typename\":\"CategoryImage\"},\"Category:1577.images.2\":{\"url\":\"https://www.hookseurope.com/pub_images/medium/testtestsko.jpg\",\"__typename\":\"CategoryImage\"},\"Category:1577.images.3\":{\"url\":\"https://www.hookseurope.com/pub_images/large/testtestsko.jpg\",\"__typename\":\"CategoryImage\"},\"Category:1577.images.4\":{\"url\":\"https://www.hookseurope.com/pub_images/original/testtestsko.jpg\",\"__typename\":\"CategoryImage\"},\"$Category:1577.products\":{\"result\":[],\"__typename\":\"PagedResult\"},\"$Category:3202.head.metaTags.0\":{\"name\":\"description\",\"content\":\"The Mips system is designed to provide added safety for helmets in many accidents.

He has a genuine interest in horses' behaviour and spends a lot of time learning to understand them in detail.

I joined their team of sponsored riders in 2019,\\\" says Emma.\\r\\nElm Rose, who Emma has owned for almost four years, has been a loyal servant to her. He is 12 years old and is the horse that has taken Emma to where she is today. Together they have competed in the Swedish Championships, the European Championships, Grands Prix, Nations Cup competitions and showjumping classes up to 1.45 m. Among other things, she won the Arena Youth Tour 1.45 m class with Elm Rose in Kungsbacka in the spring of 2021 against tough competition.\\r\\nThe cheeky teddy bear on the yard is Nouveau, who is always full of mischief and likes a lot of attention. He is an eleven-year-old gelding and he loves competing in big arenas and being in the spotlight. He has competed at Elmia, Scandinavium, Falsterbo, the Swedish Championships, the Nordic Championships and on Nations Cup teams and at many other major competitions.\\r\\n\\\"Nouveau has a heart of gold. He's a real fighter who always wants to do his best,\\\" says Emma.\\r\\nAnother horse on the yard is Carolin, who has been with the Johansson family for just over a year.

She is a mischievous little six-year-old with a positive attitude who is dreaming of life as a competition horse. Despite her young age and her short career so far, she has already competed at both Falsterbo and Elmia. As a five-year-old, she was already jumping up to 1.25 m and now she is moving up to the bigger classes.\\r\\nEmma's final star is Mecca, a nine-year-old mare.

tips for riders\\r\\nDo you feel a little rusty, stiff or just want to feel better? Check out our tips on how to stay in good shape both on and off horseback.\\r\\n Yoga strengthens your body awareness and is a type of training that all riders, beginners as well as professionals, should work more on. Because when you are really aware of what your body is doing, you can influence your riding in a controlled way. Then you give the signals you actually mean and in this way you make it easier for the horse and increase your team spirit. Check out Yinyoga and yanyoga, examples of yoga that benefit you as a rider. Focus on the exercises that you need. Yinyoga is a kind of stretching that creates stillness and conscious presence where the positions are usually held for 3-7 minutes. Yanyoga is the opposite of yin yoga, a more dynamic, active type of yoga that builds strength, increases mobility and agility. If you want better endurance, classic cardio training such as running, swimming and cycling are good options. During cardio training, you should reach a maximum heart rate of 60-70% and keep that heart rate for at least 30 minutes. You know you are at the right heart rate level when it feels a little strenuous to talk during exercise. Alternate with interval training and strength training. There are many good outdoor gyms where you can train your equestrian muscles. Here is an exercise that you can also do at home.\\r\\nBalance\\r\\n The balance is of course important for riders. Here's a simple tip on how to quickly put in a balancing act pretty much anywhere, anytime. But preferably every day. For best effect, do the exercise in the stocking or barefoot. • Rest your right foot against the inside of the calf - place your palms facing each other in front of your chest - stretch your arms (still with your palms facing each other) upwards as far as you can - stay that way or spread your arms to a V - lower and relax your shoulders - raise look at the ceiling (or look straight ahead if it feels better) - stand still and count slowly to 20 (or as far as feels comfortable).Now repeat with left foot towards the inside of the calf etc. If you want to simplify, you can have the heel against the ankle and the toe in the ground. Do you want to complicate, close your eyes. \\r\\nHollow\\r\\n • Hollow position is a full body exercise with a focus on the core muscles (back and abdomen). Lie on the ground / floor with your body outstretched - lift your shoulder blades and legs a little above the floor - keep your arms at your sides or let them rest on your body - your crotch and buttocks should remain against the floor. Hold this bowl-like position for about 15-20 seconds or longer. Relax and repeat as many times as you can.\\r\\nBreathe\\r\\n If you feel stressed when you get to the stable or nervous before the competition, try Nadi Shodhana, a breathing exercise that helps you relax and get better focus. • Use your right thumb and middle finger: start by taking a couple of calm, fairly deep breaths - before exhaling at the second breath, close your right nostril with your thumb and exhale slowly through your left nostril - hold your thumb and then inhale slowly through your left nostril - before exhaling close the left nostril with your middle finger and exhale slowly through the right - then inhale slowly through your right nostril before closing it again and exhale slowly through the left etc.Continue to switch nostrils this way for five to ten minutes. Feel free to repeat several times a day if you have the opportunity.\",\"__typename\":\"HtmlMetaTag\"},\"$Category:2332.head.metaTags.1\":{\"name\":\"keywords\",\"content\":\"Training tips\",\"__typename\":\"HtmlMetaTag\"},\"$Category:2332.head\":{\"metaTags\":[{\"type\":\"id\",\"generated\":true,\"id\":\"$Category:2332.head.metaTags.0\",\"typename\":\"HtmlMetaTag\"},{\"type\":\"id\",\"generated\":true,\"id\":\"$Category:2332.head.metaTags.1\",\"typename\":\"HtmlMetaTag\"}],\"title\":\"Training tips\",\"__typename\":\"HtmlHead\"},\"$Category:2332.parent\":{\"name\":\"Training\",\"__typename\":\"Category\"},\"Category:2332.images.0\":{\"url\":\"https://www.hookseurope.com/pub_images/thumbs/yogi-400x400.jpg\",\"__typename\":\"CategoryImage\"},\"Category:2332.images.1\":{\"url\":\"https://www.hookseurope.com/pub_images/small/yogi-400x400.jpg\",\"__typename\":\"CategoryImage\"},\"Category:2332.images.2\":{\"url\":\"https://www.hookseurope.com/pub_images/medium/yogi-400x400.jpg\",\"__typename\":\"CategoryImage\"},\"Category:2332.images.3\":{\"url\":\"https://www.hookseurope.com/pub_images/large/yogi-400x400.jpg\",\"__typename\":\"CategoryImage\"},\"Category:2332.images.4\":{\"url\":\"https://www.hookseurope.com/pub_images/original/yogi-400x400.jpg\",\"__typename\":\"CategoryImage\"},\"$Category:2332.products\":{\"result\":[],\"__typename\":\"PagedResult\"},\"$Category:2370.head.metaTags.0\":{\"name\":\"description\",\"content\":\"Agility is a fantastic sport that can be practised at all levels, from fun and recreation to full precision in championship events. You set the level yourself, and having a variety of obstacles at home is a good start. The obstacles should be firmly positioned and the tunnel should be fixed to the ground. It's best to start out with an instructor so you learn all the important basics, both with regard to acquiring skills and preventing accidents. Always consult an expert before starting the exercises. Happy training! Sandra Glanzén is an agility instructor at Hundspektra in Borås. She trains and enters agility competitions with her dogs Zorro, a Mittelspitz, and Röja, a Sheltie. Check out Sandra's tips to give you and your dog the best possible start to agility. • Find a reward that your dog will \\\"do anything for\\\", such as a treat or a toy. Keep the training simple to make sure you're always successful and always have fun. • Start by teaching your dog to run straight ahead (between two hurdle supports) towards a bowl containing a treat or a favourite toy. Start two metres in front of the hurdle supports and send your dog straight towards the reward, which should be placed two metres behind the supports. • Gradually increase the distance that your dog is required to run straight ahead. Then place a jump pole at the bottom of the supports. Once your dog is used to the pole, raise it one step. Over time, you can gradually add obstacles one at a time. The reward should always be positioned after the last obstacle so your dog is constantly projected forwards.

You set the level yourself, and having a variety of obstacles at home is a good start. The obstacles should be firmly positioned and the tunnel should be fixed to the ground. It's best to start out with an instructor so you learn all the important basics, both with regard to acquiring skills and preventing accidents. Always consult an expert before starting the exercises. Happy training! Sandra Glanzén is an agility instructor at Hundspektra in Borås. She trains and enters agility competitions with her dogs Zorro, a Mittelspitz, and Röja, a Sheltie. Check out Sandra's tips to give you and your dog the best possible start to agility. • Find a reward that your dog will \\\"do anything for\\\", such as a treat or a toy. Keep the training simple to make sure you're always successful and always have fun. • Start by teaching your dog to run straight ahead (between two hurdle supports) towards a bowl containing a treat or a favourite toy. Start two metres in front of the hurdle supports and send your dog straight towards the reward, which should be placed two metres behind the supports. • Gradually increase the distance that your dog is required to run straight ahead. Then place a jump pole at the bottom of the supports. Once your dog is used to the pole, raise it one step. Over time, you can gradually add obstacles one at a time. The reward should always be positioned after the last obstacle so your dog is constantly projected forwards.
