Are you dealing with some challenges right now with your horse? 😩 Has it all become a bit hard 🤔

Did you forget how to have fun with your horse? 🤪

Training doesnt always have to be hard or super serious - dont forget to have fun along the way!

Here’s to the ball 🥎 ✅

What does success look like to you?

I am currently working with some amazing people who are really smashing their goals and achieving personal success - things that are important to them! 🥇

I asked some of these people to think about what their “big picture” goals were and how they might build on what they do now, to achieve them. 🤔

This is very individual for each person but can help to make choices along the way that may feel a little uncomfortable - we all know that doing the same thing over and over and expecting a different result is totally flawed 😩

Small changes can equal big results and the long journey begins with a single step, then another, then another….. 👣

you don’t need to climb the whole mountain today - just take the first step 🌄

Shared with permission - a snippet of some small goals (and maybe some big ones…) achieved ✅ see the captions. Thanks for allowing me to share 🙏

Beautiful sunshine here today - a great day for more young horse experience out on the farm, this time with another horse (her paddock mate).

A great test of her basic responses - mostly go, stop, turn and park along with don’t bite your buddy and stay next to your buddy!

Really not much to report, one little spook but not really a big deal - great outcome with lots to see and process.

How are you preparing your horses for the big wide world?

How can we “test” our training and prepare our horses for life on the trail?

Start by training your foundation responses in an environment the horse is familiar with

….then begin to expand this environment.

Find out where the errors occur and use this as feedback to build on your training program. The aim is to keep your horse calm and relaxed while expanding their environment.

Here is what I did with my young horse - difficult to lead and film at the same time but we managed some ok footage 🤞
