This beauty is Molly. She had a long term issue with standing to be mounted after suffering from girth sores with a previous owner. Her current owner was unable to get on without someone on the ground to help.
You can see how much she didn't want to stand at the block before training. Now look at her 😍 she was so willing once we got the communication right.
Her owner is thrilled and has updated me with all good things.
Having a horse who's willing to stand for you to get on sets us up for a good ride with positive vibes 🥰

Praise, relaxation and good vibes is a huge part of my training methods. Nancy seems to approve 🥰

Having a play with Charles for the British Liberty Association (BLHA)'s monthly challenge - backing up while behind your horse.
He did so good. I'm so proud 🥰

Another satisfied loader 🥰
If you give them time to process and earn their trust, they'll give you everything they've got 💗

I loved coaching these two recently through an exercise to create connection with one another.
This is Beccy and her horse Dave who gets anxious when leaving other horses. We worked on building his trust in Beccy so he can start to feel more confident with her, rather than needing the other horses to feel safe and secure.
It's so rewarding helping partnerships like this one grow even stronger 🥰

Sunday is fun-day...
So despite the weather, I had a play with my own horses today 🥰
Charlie and I filmed a little liberty for the British Liberty Horse Association April Challenge. We had to take two movements from an Intro Test and put them together so they flow.
We went with 'mirror me - walk to trot' and halt. I threw down a tarp to give Charles an extra challenge, which he smashed 🥰
