New blog, I don't write many these days too busy with horses. Maya and some private lessons where more cooperation was needed between horse and human to bring more harmony to the relationship have inspired this.

Wouldn’t it be nice if we had our horses Cooperation in everything we do? When working with The Resnick Liberty Horsmanship method that is something that comes as a result. A result of buildi…

First day of our Liberty horsemanship clinic Near Bath. I forgot to get pics of everyone. The horses offered some lovely lessons and companionship. Young Cody did so well at only 2years old. Eric was a star with his human for the day who he had never met before. He then had another session with his full time human Lindsay who also fed us and kept us hydrated. This is them. Chesney and Puzzle were very different and both bought different energies to the lessons lovely boys. Puzzle the gentle giant and Chesney very bright and quick to catch on, also very connected to his human Sarah.

There are a lot of fun things we can do with our non ridden equines. If we create a relationship where they choose to follow our lead who knows where it might go. My ridden and non ridden horses all enjoy to work/play they love to spend time with me. This is because we have formed strong bonds and they have a desire to try anything so long as it is fair and clear.

Second time liberty jumping with Chester.

Working with food.
When working with food, if it enhances the relationship then all is well. If it causes problems then stop. If your horse is too focused on the food and not you then stop. Your horse should learn food comes through you take him to a food source. This is why with this method we never have food on our person. Our horse is willing and wants to be with US not the food in our pocket or pouch. He can always have the jackpot at the end!

This was during the first lockdown many were scared of where Covid would go. We are so lucky our lives are getting back to "normal" I did enjoy the peace and time with these two though. Now all we can do is offer support and pray that Ukraine finds peace.
