The Middle Ground Theory
I firmly believes that there is not a bad horse born. There may be bad horses about but they certainly didn’t start like that. Some are easier to get on with than others but all have some softness in them that can be developed if we know how to do it. The ‘middle ground theory’ helps people understand how to work with horses a little better.
‘All horses have an area of tolerance in which you can work with a certain amount of inconsistency and get away with it without causing problems to you or to him. Provided you work within this area of tolerance (or ‘middle ground’ as i like to call it), you can be too hard sometimes and the horse won’t resent you and too soft at other times and the horse won’t exploit you. In other words, the relationship can go slightly out of balance without you doing any permanent damage.
If however you work outside the limits of the middle ground and for example are really too hard sometimes or really too easy at others, you will begin to damage the relationship. The ‘middle ground’ will erode and cause the horse to become less and less generous. In this case the middle ground will eventually become a fine line at which point the horse will give you very little room for manoeuvre in future encounters. This is when a horse is considered a problem horse and requires skilled, delicate and precise handling/riding to restore the middle ground'.
Michael has not met a horse that he could not help by widening the fine line to give the owner or rider room to work again.

'Long and Low' with Michael Peace Update!
She was angry and defensive and had become impossible to work with. After just two visits and Michael’s magic touch she became trainable again. Congratulations to Simon Earle and his team for continuing the work successfully and on this fantastic win! First race after Michael's help to get her back on track with a win by lengths @ 125/1
After an injury. "This mare was trying to kill us and her self when tacking up. We would need two people to do it and it would be a stressful situation. Now she is being tacked up lose without a head collar on standing respectfully still and I am doing it on my own! A remarkable transformation thank you Michael Peace." Simon Earle Racing.
“The significant thing is that she’s changed her understanding of what’s being asked of her and also therefore her attitude towards the people administering”. Michael Peace @thinkequus

The Three Tables analogy explaining genuine horsemanship.
Michael Peace Three tables analogy for genuine horsemanship.
Michael Peace - The Three Tables analogy explains genuine horsemanship.
'Because I've made myself someone the horse would like to be with. I haven't forced that situation. I've created that bond, by helping them through other things, you know, with the leading stuff and now they understand that I have value and they want to be with me.
I think the most important thing is the depth of understanding that you achieve in a horse really, it's not just about getting the results, it's about getting them to really understand what it is and why they've got to do it.
Because without that depth of understanding if you just put training onto the surface, then there's no longevity in that it just won't last. The key with Think Equus is that it gets a depth of understanding and focuses on what a horse becomes during the process rather than just on what they achieve. That's why it's important not to force it with gadgets like pressure halters, whips and brooms, because only then you get that depth and longevity.

Tomorrow, Michael is in Thursday Northampton and back in Oxfordshire for Friday. Next week he is in Essex on Monday.

Part 2. Napping. Michael Peace works with mounting and napping issues on a home training session.
Day 1 post Michael’s visit -Perfect to mount... had 1 second of thinking of napping as I asked him to move off and then we walked in and out of yard and around yard. In the field he happily pinged round the field under saddle and only slightly tried his resistance once at the beginning in canter. Moved to other half of field over trotting poles, then returned to big half again and whizzed around field. A delight to ride. Thank you to Michael …. a transformation, but I won’t be complacent and will keep on top of him. Best wishes P.

Day 1 post Michael’s visit - 🤸🤸Rolo was perfect to mount, despite this I still practised mounting then moving him (not me!) back to mounting block and re mounting a few times to make sure it wasn’t a fluke!
