I used to work so hard with my driving horses.

I would drive them every day, to practice for the shows, but really that meant driving random ovals, pretending I was in the show ring, and trying to pull their nose in while chasing them to go forward.

Because I had some very nice horses, I thought I knew what I was doing. πŸ˜‰
Then I had a challenging horse.

I knew he had the potential to be great, but he was crooked and tense, with his neck upside down and his nose stuck not just out, but up in the air. I tried everything I knew and learned how little that actually was.

I had to get smarter.

I started learning about movement, and balance, and helping my horse build strength. I stopped worrying about where his nose was (eventually - that was a tough one to give up!) and started worrying about what his hind end was doing. I systematically built him up, from back to front, instead of trying to pull him together from front to back.

I turned him from a tense, upside down, sewing machine trot who I couldn't even steer in a straight line, to a beautiful, forward mover who won championships in the show ring and earned the best dressage scores and raced through the marathon obstacles with precision.

It took me a long time, but it doesn't have to take that long. I've taken everything I learned, from my challenging horse and all the many instructors and resources and research that helped me along the way, and put it into the Improving Your Miniature Driving Horse online course, so that you don't have to take the long way, like I did.

My 25% SWING coupon code officially expired yesterday, but I always give it an extra day to allow for different time zones, so if you hurry you might still be able to get the discount!

Fun memories - Image's first show back after 6 years off to heal an SI injury that we'd thought was career ending. What a gift it was to both of us to be back in the show ring!

Never a dull moment, when your horses know tricks! πŸ˜‚

Here's Newman smiling, and Vodka rearing, while waiting for their turn with the farrier the other day. Keeping us all amused while we waited!

Fun fact: I didn't actually teach either of these tricks, both these boys learned their very favourite trick by watching other horses I HAD trained! Smarties.

Want to join in the trick training fun? You can get my Getting Started Trick Training online course for 25% off until the 25th, with coupon code SWING

Look at the progress we've made in just a handful of drives!

Rocky hasn't been driven consistently in ... oh years, maybe 2021? Just because of life, not his fault! And then this spring the entire herd got sick, so when I usually would've started conditioning for show season he was recovering from the virus, and then had to be brought back into work cautiously, to make sure his lungs were well recovered.

If you've taken my Improving Your Miniature Driving Horse online course, then you've met Rocky. He's a permanent left banana horse, and we have to work together to help him be strong and supple and straight.

Using the exact same exercises we demonstrated in that course, look at the improvement in his frame and strength and balance already! The bottom photo is the best moment I managed to screenshot a week ago, and the top one is the best screenshot from yesterday.

And we're having so much fun together too! It's wonderful to be back into the swing of things!

This course can help you get back into the swing of things too, and right now I'm offering a 25% off coupon on my Improving Your Miniature Driving Horse online course, only until June 25th! Use code SWING at checkout to get the discount!
