Today was a great day for a ride. Thanks Tahlia for coming up. Justin rode Rain who was totally awesome. Of course Splash and Ana were great, Jazz was a tad emotional for the last part of the ride but I can’t remember the last time I rode her 🧐

05/10/2024

After years of unsoundness, finally we have answers . Rain has Navicula in both front feet. She has had injections into coffin joint and will wear wedges in front rubber composite shoes to correct angle and relieve pressure.
She is like a new horse, happy to burn around the paddock with the others.
This was her first ride back and she was perfect.
She will go back to teaching people how to ride and give confidence.

Hi All,
For quite some time now I have wanted to change the name of my business for several reasons. My business name renewal came up recently So the time has come.

The new name of my business is

“Harmony N’ Horsemanship”

Nothing else has changed.

I’ve changed the name on the fb page but it hasn’t updated as yet.

Second video

No matter what I throw at this little mare, she never ceases to amaze me.
I initially had her Bosal on, but decided to take it off and see how she went ❤️

Sorry for all the talking but I was explaining to his owner what I was doing on the video.
For a very long time I’ve been working with this boy. Due to a couple of reasons he is always on the forehand and sits very heavy in your hands. I’ve tried so many different exercises to help him soften up and hold his own head up, but nothing seemed to work. Didn’t matter what I put on his head or in his mouth, he would just lean and get heavy. Pushing his hinds out only resulted in him rushing more forwards, despite him knowing how to move his hinds lightly standing still.
In the back of my mind I would always hear Steve say “do anything but pull “! But I kept thinking, but HOW!
I decided to stop riding with anything attached to his head and use a string around his neck. The first ride was a huge eye opener 😳 without control of some sort on his head he was completely lost and almost panicked. It showed that he relied solely on his bridle.
The next ride I used a very prickly horse hair mecate around his neck, this gave him clear signal and he really tried. Today was the third ride but with a softer Mecate. Obviously it was very hard to ride one handed with just a rope and video at the same time but it gives you an idea of him really trying.
The aim is to retrain his brain to listen to my body and stop relying on his bridle and shutting his brain off.

For those enquiring about halters and ropes, they are now for sale at Angle Vale Hardware and Fodder. I can still make custom orders if there isn’t the size or colour there that you want.

Would anyone have a paddock for a retired Standy that belongs to a lovely friend of mine. No facilities needed, just a paddock to agist with feeding once a day (she can only get there once a day so would need one feed by property owner) in Lewiston/Two Wells area. Lovely well mannered boy.

03/06/2024

Another full size halter made. I really like this colour. Have matching ropes to make also. I have lots of this rope and can make to any size.

02/06/2024

Last couple of days spent making up the last of the rope I had for halters and rope. Sizes on bags. Leads 4 meters long.
Any colour and sizes can be made to order.
Rope splicing stitched
Fiador knot on halter also stitched to prevent stretching.
$45 halter
$45 rope

Is your horse a bit stiff, sore or feeling a bit short. Have you considered the benefits of booking your equine partner in for a Physiokey treatment?

The Physiokey device emits an electro-magnetic signal, which is almost identical to the human nerve signal. This signal travels along certain types of nerve fibres and meridians, which triggers the release of powerful pain relieving substances into the bloodstream called endorphins.

The Physiokey can pinpoint sore areas on the horses body that may go unnoticed. For example, a horse may show signs of lameness or soreness in the hind end but in fact the problem is in the opposite shoulder, the horse is compensating and it presents in a different area.
The Physiokey not only pinpoints the area but helps the body to identify and start the healing process.

I’ve not only used this device on my horses, but on myself and my family (including my dogs).

Treatments are $70 per session
To book just send a PM

15” Bates Caprilli Dressage. Medium gullet changeable by saddler.
Buttery soft leather and extremely comfortable to ride in. In excellent show condition. Was used on my very short backed Arabian mare I no longer have. Hasn’t been used in along time, only kept for sentimental reasons. Always covered. Comes mounted with stirrups and quality leathers.
Paid $1300 from Bonnets, sell for $800

23/05/2024

It is with the deepest regret that I am selling my DP Buckeberger saddle. But life isn’t always fair.
This is an allusive S1. These are over $6500 brand new plus you have to wait for months to get one.
Fully adjustable gullet with Allen Key, removable adjustable panels to make sure perfect fit. In as new condition as hardly used (no time to ride my own horse).
Like riding in an armchair and puts you in the correct position.
Always kept covered inside van.
Also comes with Baroque Stirrups.
$5000 no offers

This is a great invention. Keeps hay off the wet ground and stops horses getting their feet caught in net.

Free Lease
Buddy, approx 14.2 Appy gelding 21 yo
Very safe ride, no nasties but can get up and go if you want him too. Prefers to trot rather than canter.
Has taught total beginners in an arena and taken them through the forest.
Great to get confidence on.
Has done lots of horsemanship on ground but can be pushy if you allow him too (was a stallion until 18).
Has only been ridden in a Bosal since being started at 18.
Approved home only and will need to keep in regular contact with pics etc.

This little cutie is Kahn. When I first met this little guy he had a very high opinion of himself 😂 he still does at times but is much better now This exercise is riding a circle then disengaging the hinds, into a backup and follow through with shoulders. He tried very hard, just gets stuck in the back up still.
