The Heart of Horsemanship

Breakfast time! Love working on their nutrition and helping them become stronger so they can bloom and shine 🤩

Here comes the COOL CLUB 😎Mellow, Tarzan, and Diamond. Tarzan was certainly excited about a visit 🙌 feral, abused, starved, hospitalized, these boys have overcome so much and I couldn’t be more proud right here in the moment.

Tarzan is looking for a Sponsor! Will you help him? This sweet pony has gone true a huge rollercoaster…. Upon arrival he was extremely weak he barely ate and had a bad emergency a few days later. He was hugely traumatized and his nervous system was very set off. I have been doing a lot of work with him doing some meditation, feet matching, space energy work, music exercises, and today he sure made huge progress, not only did he learn to lead this afternoon with music, this am he also fully agreed that lots of energy is OKAY! Those hugs ment so much to me after all we have been true together- taking the time to allow them to breathe, connect, and play surely pays off! Willing to help us with his ongoing care, please sponsor Tarzan!

When you learn to lead with peace and connection vs control and stress. So proud of you Tarzan! He has been doing much better at his new location. We have worked a lot on settling his nervous system and he sure has made a HUGE amount of progress. Still a long way to go but baby steps are doing their magic 🤩

Legend needs a sponsor! Will you help him? 💚 Here comes the cuteness overload again! 🔥 Growing like a sprout, Legend has been doing incredibly well. He is absolutely loving his winter herd in a huge field, with all his extremely well minded friends, mom, and foal friend. Did he tell you about his bale party he gets to enjoy!? Due to their field location, we can’t easily access it with our tractor and therefore we said to try and let them enjoy life to the fullest with a bale party. Natural stimulation is hugely important for any animal but especially babies/foals. Therefore, we ensure they have lots of space, a good minded herd, and plenty of good food. I m lucky he gets to be at home with me and have his water though right by my window - waking up to hoof sounds walking true the snow surely helps me get up in the morning to go take care of everyone at home and in different field away from home. We currently have 4 herds. I m beyond proud of him for who he s becoming! While he has an incredible mindset, he s just loving people and his independence without mom is becoming big perhaps he s to brave 😅 i can t believe he was feral only a few month ago, emaciated, and traumatized to quite a severe extend with his mom. He sure LOVES his cuddles 🥰 will you be his Sponsor? Did you know Legend is Tarzan s brother!? Watch out for a new Tarzan video tomorrow!

Mickey Mouse needs a sponsor! Will you sponsor him? 💚 The ponies had a week off from work as they moved to their field and received some time for themselves and castrations healing. With this incredible weather this weekend, I am back at work with these superstar. Today, Mickey Mouse learned to lead!! What a champ he is 👏 there are many different ways to teach a pony to lead and get used to pressure. All 7 boys have their own way and Mickey decided it would be fun with connection and scratches. I absolutely LOVE how he keeps connecting to me! As his leader, I have to ensure to always make sure I m strong, take a safe path, and read him properly for our connection to happen. Teaching them how to stop is always the same for everyone I use a method based of our energy and when we STOP, we breath out and put our energy down then reconnect. This 15 minute session was extremely powerful! Stay tuned about some more video s over the weekend 🙂 Mickey is still looking for a sponsor. Who is willing to sponsor Mickey Mouse?? 💚$100 and you will receive a personal letter and gift from your pony!

#4 meet MIDNIGHT

#4 meet MIDNIGHT up next we have a little black filly! When she arrived my transport lady said that she was quite mean during the trip to the other mares she was with. Right away I told her “maybe she doesn’t feel good”. Soon enough I realized that Midnight indeed wasn’t very nice to the others. She would bite and kick them non stop if they got close to her. She also got super aggressive when I gave more hay or anytime during their dinner time. To keep it fair and safe to the others as well as comfortable for her I decided to give her a stall of her own. Her behaviour makes sense in a way that she can be very good protective due to her past being starved. Because of the severity of it I do believe she must have some pain included as well. We will get her checked out for ulcers, teeth, as well as anything else my vet may be thinking of during her vet visit next Thursday. With a bit of extra work and love for her, I was able to convince her I wouldn’t eat her food and would be the fun one providing as much as she possibly wanted. Soon enough she realized that this isn’t a bad thing and she became the absolute sweetest pony! She is quite curious, extremely affectionate, and would love to spend all day with a human now. I had to be very careful and still am but she has been incredible at being very kind to me. I would like to tag you along in a video I made of her and I working during her first halter training session. CONNECTION goes an along way!!! We hope you enjoy.
