About

About Me:

My new site: www.rmmrproductions.com is offering 'Virtual Lessons" from your video and evaluations from your photos, come check it out, it is still FREE! RMMR also has a blog updated periodically with information about horses, riding and horsemanship.

I have over 20 years of experience teaching hunt seat riding and dressage. My background includes the intense study of equine science, equine and human anatomy and the psychology of education. I give my students a strong foundation in a balanced seat with proper equitation so that they continue to grow as riders. I teach my students to think like a trainer because when they are riding they ARE training the horse. My students learn to be in balance with their horse and to help the horse be balanced and use himself properly so that he becomes stronger and is prepared to advance, in a healthy way, to a higher level. My experience as a barn manager, nutritionist and anatomist also come to the ring with me as I help my students to understand the horse is made up of many parts that must all work in conjunction with one another to develop fully as an athlete.

I offer mounted lessons in my area on a freelance basis as well as mounted clinics and classroom lectures on anatomy, physiology, nutrition and management of the horse, across the Northeast and Southwest (in winter). Please contact me for more information or go to www.rcmbiomedicalvis.com links page. I am a member of The New York State Horse Council and The Professional Horsemen's Association.

Hi, so it is OK for my horses to have all grass? They are currently getting about 5 hours a day and then a little hay morning and night. I don't want them to get sick as I;ve heard horses do if on all grass cause they need something dry as well. BUT I've heard that about llamas also and our llamas were always on all grass in summer. Thanks so much!

Yes, it is actually healthiest for them to have all grass. Just be cautious in the spring or when it rains heavily because the grass can become very rich suddenly and that can make them colic or founder. If they are on 5 hours now, stretch it to 8 and then 10 and then it should be fine for them to go 24 hours. They need an adjustment period with ANY feed change of about two weeks. There are enzymes that help to digest certain foods within the horse's gut and they need about two weeks to change to a new type of feed/hay/grass. So if they are not on grass they need to slowly be weaned onto grass. Horses don't need hay if there is enough grass. Some horses may get to fat on grass and founder so be catious of that as well. You can buy a grazing muzzle for those with that problem. If the grass gets eaten down and you have no other field to rotate to then you may need to supplement with hay. Every feed company has a nutritionist, you should contact yours and have an evaluation done, usually it is free (find a number on the grain bag or ask at your local feed dealer/go online). Then you can be confident that they are getting everything they need.
