Thought for the day:
If you have a horse that has been made dull or insensitive be a little careful.
If you are nagging it to work you are probably annoying it.
This can start with just ear pinning and tail swishing.
Continue to be annoying and the horse may start to do what it would do to another horse in that situation.
Many people misread the situation and back off at the horse’s expression of annoyance. This reinforces the behaviour.
Some even blame the horses previous experiences.
The change comes when the handler learns to become much more to the horse than an annoyance.
This can be done largely through our ability to express ourselves correctly without the need for physical contact.
Subtlety is impossible until the horse takes notice of subtle.
Not changing something is the surest way to maintain the status-quo.
Learn to be more than an annoyance.

Your Horse Feels What You Carry...

Before you even touch the lead rope, your horse is reading you. Your energy, mindset, and emotions set the tone for every interaction.

Next time you approach your horse, try this:
✔ Pause & Breathe – Before stepping into their space, take a slow breath and release any tension you’re carrying.
✔ Check Your Thoughts – Are you already expecting resistance, or are you open to connection?
✔ They will follow your Energy – If they’re unsure, bring calm. If they’re distracted, bring quiet presence.

Your horse isn’t just responding to what you ask—they’re responding to who you are in that moment. The more self-awareness you bring, the deeper your trust will grow.

➡️ Try this today and let us know what you notice! Drop a comment below.

Thought for the day:
Learning to or experimenting with changing what you do can be harder for experienced, competent riders than novice riders.
Developing a willingness to attempt change and or experiment is paramount to moving forward.
Don’t expect a positive change in a horse without some change in ourselves.
We need to be flexible like this.

Carol and Elvis demonstrate how to get relaxation by redirecting energy rather than trying to stop the movement 👌🤠❤️

Introducing a new herd member can be a tricky process, reducing the chance of injury is high on my list. So with this in mind new boy Danny was introduced to Skippy first, Skippy has the most to say in the herd so negotiations started here 🤠 after an hour of pushy shovey, nose restling and checking each other out all was calm and an understanding was reached 👌 Danny is fully integrated now after a week and with minimal spats or disagreement. Such an interesting process to observe 😎🐎🤠❤️

Looking for release 🤓 how do you start to teach your self and your horse to shift their weight back. It's a small change that can be easily missed. Nicola and William are learning to become more aware of each other so they can become more together 😍 I love this dinking around stuff 🤠

Horsemanship for life skills.

Horsemanship is about the human learning to control their emotions and develop an awareness of the horse. True connection and softness comes from within, its based on trust and understanding.
