Mystic and Leonie flying along...

Channeling the young girl who used to work cattle, now Mystic and Leonie have enough communication that they can happily move forward together. It doesn't mean to say that 'all' their issues and behaviours are 'fixed' but now they share a common language and communication!

Learning to read and think like a horse!

Looking forward to our final Rider BluePrint Clinic for the year, next weekend!

Speed control.... Impulsion....

Some moments of Sam & Betty working on their snappy departures!

The Honeycomb is the perfect place to set both horse and human up for success...

Moments from our 2 week Horsemanship Immersion with Neil.

The Wilton Warm Up....

Getting our horse in the mood for a fun, safe and confident ride or training session.

Using Online, Liberty and Freestyle Riding to create partnership and harmony.

Looking forward to our Rider BluePrint Clinic at the end of this month. See you all soon.

Bold rider, bold horses!

Inspiring watching some of the cross country today at SIEC!

Plenty of team work and action cooling the horses off at the end of the course.

Kudos to everyone involved.

It's a pretty interesting process watching this young Thoroughbred who came to us from Racing NSW, he was busted and broken, who was prepared for racing but never raced as the vet wisely said he would breakdown. So he's been with us for a couple of years now and spent more time, lame, stiff and sore than free and forward.....

Neil has taken time with him, more on the ground than in the saddle, small amounts when he is sound... He is becoming a great horse for demonstrations and for Neil to use when teaching, he demonstrates, online, liberty and freestyle riding and show s us responsive yields, canters softly and lightly, something to aspire to.

I guess there is a reason he found us and we found him....

Move your body and fly.....

Sometimes we all need to move our feet.... once you know the games on the ground and you start to understand and play with them in the saddle there only limit is us... our independent seat, our confidence, our understanding of the process!

Well that's where Neil can help you....
we practice our process until it becomes part of our being... and along the way we have a lot of fun and 'aha' moments.

08/11/2023

Conversations and communications using our horses language!

Learning to READ horses!

Peace ~ being present & having a plan.

Something

Peace ~ being present & having a plan.

Repeat.

Changing HOW WE THINK.

Marvy Monday…

Group Liberty… help somebody else game!
Life doesn’t get much better!

Freestyle riding, Wilton warm up, follow the rail, then the trail, weaves, trees, over poles, walk, trot and even some canter!

Oh and Kate riding in a halter and one rein!!

Thanks Neil, and everyone for an amazing 3 days… a few shots from this morning!

No images from the riding this afternoon, just too much fun riding my horse.

Bridling with Cooperation....

How good does it feel?

Feeling for and of your horse......

What better way to set up your ride.

Taking the time it takes, so it takes less time.

If you want to learn how to do simple things well.....
Like pick up your horses feet, saddle him, bridle him then join us in 2024....

Our first Introductory Clinic with be in March.....

Learning to look at life from the horse's point of view.

02/11/2023

Learning to play and grow like a child!

Some of us didn't have ponies or horses when we were young!

Most of us haven't purchased our first horse until later in life.

Never say you are too old, too tired, don't give up on your dreams.

Find a supportive coach, a community of like minded horse lovers who will patiently support you, as you all grow together.

Never tire of horse time....

01/11/2023

So true…

Don't let fear dictate your future.

31/10/2023

Love this, couldn’t think of anything more fun! Hacking out with a loved one.

Sounds like these boys have a wonderful natural lifestyle as well.

Just a girl and her mum having a hacking day on two of the greats - Blueberry and Uti x

For those who regularly ask what keeps them in good condition and fit - They are still gently schooled and hacked a few times a week, as well as having daily field time. Product wise - they are still powered by Saracen Horse Feeds as they were throughout their careers. Image Jess-Photography

Marvy Monday!

Do what you love!
Love what you do.

Liberty & Freestyle Riding Clinic this weekend. Life is Good!

27/10/2023

Liberty!

We shared many moments in many locations....Team work, dream work.

Building a connection with no strings attached. Our horse's learning to not take things personally and stay with us in the positive thinking side of their brain.

At times we had 5 or 6 horses at liberty... it takes a village to raise a child, a village who are calm, centred and understand the 'we' in Team.

WE truly value this supportive and horse and people loving community.

Thank you Lynetta for joining us over the past 2 weeks, Neil is looking forward to joining you February 2024 for the Trail Riding with Confidence Course, in Glenorchy.

Jump!

Just like the Pointer Sisters sing... 'Jump'

Such fun, setting our horses up with feel timing and balance without us on their backs and then when we were aboard!
Helping us develop our independent feet and seat....
developing our horses confidence and ours.

More faith than fear!

25/10/2023

Sit on your pockets.....

Learning to use our torso, seat and legs to influence our horses,
rather than pull, grip or grab!

Putting our horse's feelings before our goals and outcomes.

24/10/2023

A awesome morning ride through the trails-in pairs and practicing our lateral moves via the games in the saddle.

A meditation moment at the Fairy Tree with the wallaby family! 💥

We’ll catch up over the next few days, return emails, calls and messages.

A final thank you to Neil for investing his time, energy, passion and learned knowledge and experience in each and everyone of us.
Our horses are eternally grateful.

A few magic moments in time... many more to come.

23/10/2023

2 weeks have passed so very quickly…. A glorious last day with trails this morning and this evening!

One past trail ride in the morning and everyone heads home. Huge that to everyone for your outstanding participation and dedication. Thanks to Neil, Lynetta, Maggie, our horses and of naturally to Pat for the Blueprint he created that sets us and our horses up for success.

20/10/2023

Friday fun day…

Life doesn’t get much better!

We finished our day riding point to point, patterns, carrot sticks, bunny rabbits to butterflies… there’s no where else we would rather be.

Wishing you all a wonderful weekend with family, friends and four legged partners.

19/10/2023

Some days are diamonds....

Some days are Gold...

We take the natural, positive and progressive way with horses...

We've started the second chapter in our two week immersion.

Everyone needs some horse time, we sure do…. So heading into our 2 week of our Horsemanship Immersion Course!

Horse time - the best vacation ever!

17/10/2023

Control your horse, rather than constrain them.

How do you 'control' you horse, with one rein not two.

Learning how to change patterns and break our predatory grippy, grabby nature.

Putting our horses needs and feelings before ours.

Our final Clinic for Cooperation, Control & Confidence for 2023 is the first weekend in December 4, 5 & 6.. We have two positions left, let us know if you want your name on it!!

16/10/2023

Group Liberty-helping each other is where we go beyond ourselves!

The end of our first week, words can’t really express the journey we are on, as Neil says “they just get us in the ball park”

Our horses are turned out for two days, as we catch up, rest and restore ready to recommence our horsemanship immersion, week 2 on Thursday.

13/10/2023

Horse people..... commencing our two week immersion together...
here is how we look at the start of our journey....
let's see how these 'hoarse people look at the end of their Course...

Thanks everyone for the wonderful energy and enthusiasm for the program, supporting each other and your dedication to your horses and learning more about their needs and sensitivities.

11/10/2023

Inspiration-comes in many forms!

This lady purchased a young horse when she turned 60, some of us go on a cruise, no she bought a young horse and then learnt to ride!

Fast forward and yesterday she made her annual pilgrimage to Wilton for her 2 week Horsemanship Immersion with Neil and others in the community!

A 6 hour drive, she and Boaz coped fine, her AC threw the towel in. Now in her mid seventies this lady inspires her family, friends and all of us!

A living example of ‘being the best “me” that she can be.

Thanks Christine for the wonderful example, looking forward to spending the next few weeks together on our horsemanship education vacation.

10/10/2023

So we're ready....

Looking forward to everyone's arrival for our
2 Week Horsemanship Immersion Course with Neil!

Two weeks of education, horse talk, education and spending time with like minded horse loving friends.

Enjoy your road trip and we'll see you tomorrow!

Something worth doing, if you are blessed to have horses in your world!

06/10/2023

Friday funtime....

Ever thought about using your halter and lead rope like a good ole scratching tool.... soothing the itch, massaging the body... Before you put the halter on?

A bit of fun for us, our trusty steeds and maybe a way for us to slow down a little and not be so direct line....

Have a wonderful weekend...
ONLY 5 sleeps before our 2 week Horsemanship Immersion Course with Neil begins..

04/10/2023

Learning to push or drive a horse from point to point, rather than leading or dragging them along.

Allows the horse who has a long body to see us, see our focus, feel our intention and energy, we can travel in harmony together, safely and confidently.

Puzzle solving some of our horses symptoms, like bucking, nipping, jig jogging on the ground before we get on their back, because we care about how he feels. Treating our horses like partners and not like prisoners.

Do you ever get on and ride?
Hurry up, we can't be late the lesson starts at 10am?
Ever been hurt getting on a horse?

We take the time it takes so that our horse, is in the positive thinking side of his brain and feels okay before we get on. No gold medals for taking the time it takes, but it sure sets the scene for partnership and harmony.

Confidence and trust are hard to gain and easy to lose.

Teaching people, like you and I, too understand, adjust and be able to read our horses wherever we are.

So we both enjoy our horse time and can savour the ride as the sun goes down.

Some more fun from our recent Horsemanship Demonstration with Dash Rip Rock our little young ASH and Neil. Wonderful to see such a reactive prey animal showing confidence in Neil and using the positive thinking side of his brain.

Neil has taken the time over the winter to revisit Dash' foundation, back to the basics so nice to have a little guy around who now chooses to come to us and isn't so skeptical and reactive. Developing a good citizen for a good life.
