A passionate equestrian with a open outlook when it comes to working with equines

Not the most exciting photos or the fanciest, it is just an afternoon for a 40 minute chaotic ride with all the girls, old friends from when I was a teenager and new friends.

Horses and time with people is something to be enjoyed and cherished,
I have moved from one side of vic to anther and it’s goes to show it doesn’t matter where you live or go you will always have your old friends and make new ones.

The only thing you want in life is for everyone to smile.
Ride your horse, ride your friend’s horse!

So enjoy the silly times, enjoy riding like a goof ball it makes everyone happy even the horses.

I haven’t put alot of updates of late as I have apprantly gone from a horse trainer to a rabbit trainer 😂.
After I lost my beautiful maincoon cat huckleberry of 17 years my friends have blessed me with anther love of mine (rabbits) which as much of to my partners surprise had been gifted to me.

I have been very vacant with my updates as I have become a support worker on top of my lessons and training,

I have always been more involved with the community than anything, I am a very lucky person to be able to have all my passion together.
My only goal is to help people!

Sometimes you have to eat your words as a trainer and somehow swallow it with pride 😂

This is trixie she is a bush brumby and has the most sensitive/responsive personality she is wanting too learn and love but sadly she never got that from a trainer early on in her life once she came from the bush (she has had some awesome owners though!) sadly her flight instinct has won out a few times and she has been known to run thru a fence to get out of pressure.

I’ve taken a new approach with her that I have always refused to do with any other horse.
Clicker and treat training. She has gone from a closed off pony to inquisitive and even when she wasn’t ok with something she would always come back too try again. Hopefully eventually the clicker will be associated with good behaviour over a treat.
(Although trixie is part Labrador I swear)
Moral of the story is you have to get too know the horse or pony you work with!

As much as I discourage treats in training some horses respond better with it.

I’m so proud of trixie a first session

We spent the day team penning in Kyneton.
Everyone had a big smile plastered on there face it’s safe to say there will be some more cow chaseing in the future!

Just a quick little update at why my page has been very quiet of late,
I have been overseas in India for a friends wedding, Ofcourse while I was here I couldn’t help myself but find an handsome horse to ride name XOXO!

I’ll be back in Australia in the next few days as much as I’ll miss the heat here in India, I am looking forward to coming back home to be surrounded by friends and family.

Desensitising shimmer

31/01/2023

Having a snack break, there is no peace when it comes to shimmer she is as bad as the labs

24/01/2023

Today shimmer had a brush up on float loading, it’s really important to have a horse or pony that will self loads and stands happily in the float untied or tied especially with other horses loading and unloading next too them.

Shimmer is new to self loading and unloading backwards being a small pony she has learnt to turn around and it’s a bad habit that can become pretty dangerous quickly.

I normally try to minimise the time I spend in the bay of the float, to me that is a horse only zone.
Eventually as she improves with her floating you will not need to step one foot into the float.

An awesome afternoon to ride out and enjoy our ponies My Hero Is A Horse

10/01/2023

Second ride today out in the open!

08/01/2023

Sugars first ride today was super relaxed and easy!

07/01/2023

Lovely warm morning to take shimmer out on a trail ride

02/01/2023

I haven’t had a lot of time to work with our beautiful little sugar, due to new client horses coming in.

This is her first long reining and mouthing session, sugar is a very strong character and as a typical chestnut mare she always has too have her say.
In our few short and brief sessions she picks things up quickly and is not afraid of anything.

She is always up for attention!

We love our little sugar and every step of her journey makes us so much more excited for the future with her.

This is shimmer she is being re-broken undersaddle for my client, today we worked on being re-mouthed; control and long lineing. When bringing a pony with unknown history back into work it is so important to set the pony up correctly by reinstalling the very basics from the start for a smooth transition back into being ridden after years off.

Ebony is one of my young personal horse today she was helping me demonstrate some of the fun and crazy things I do when I start horses undersaddle. Can you believe that she has never had a bike near her before untill today? A solid foundation when they are started undersaddle can last them a lifetime and give them the ability to not be worried when you introduce new things to them. Please don’t mind my bike riding skills….. there a bit rusty 😂

Creamy’s first long reining session since being started under saddle years ago, creamy is a very willful pony who doesn’t have any fear of people so often oversteps boundaries, He is a really awesome young horse who has never had a lot of work behind him, because he is such a easy going little man often you let things slide! sometimes you just need to go back to square one to get a better result under saddle, as you can see he wasn’t too keen at the start of our session but once he worked out what I was asking he was very responsive and soft! Things don’t always go to plan and that’s okay! Because you can only ever move forward.
