Sooooo many ROTHers share in the heart of Mustang rescue. Katie Dixon, acres sanctuary and to rescue.

Someone asked me recently how long it would take me to get a horse "dead broke."

I took a breath, centered myself, and responded honestly:
There is no amount of time I could spend with a horse that would make that happen.
Because dead broke should not be a thing.

Blind obedience in the face of human hands is not partnership—it’s submission. And it comes at the cost of the horse’s voice, their agency, and sometimes, their soul. That isn’t training. That’s trauma.

You could send a horse to me for two years of full training, and when they leave this program, they will still have opinions. They will still communicate. They will still say no.
But they will say it in a way that is safe, regulated, and respectful—because that's what true partnership looks like.

They won’t be “broke.”
They’ll be whole.

But here’s the catch: you have to do the work, too.
You have to check your ego at the door.
You have to learn how to listen as much as you ask.
You have to soften when your horse braces, to be patient when they’re unsure, and to meet resistance with curiosity instead of control.

This isn’t the kind of program where you show up after six months of training expecting your horse to tick off the boxes.

This is the kind of program where you learn to ask better questions—of your horse and of yourself.

Because at the end of the day, you won’t be handed a robotic horse who performs on command.
You’ll be walking beside a sentient, sensitive being—one who knows how to regulate, how to set boundaries, how to trust, and how to dance through life with you – not for you.

And that?
That’s worth more than any timeline, any checklist, or any illusion of control.

That’s what real partnership feels like.
And it’s the only kind of “broke” I’ll ever believe in. 🐴💛

One of my greatest joys is being with an equid from the start of their journey with humans, and continuing as a guide and trainer, supporting their progress and milestones. The week before I moved to Vermont, I got a call from a friend about a wild BLM b***o, and could we gentle him before I moved. We gentled him through a compassionate loading process over several sessions (he was not digging the trailer initially!) and he was haltered on his terms before I left. Each time I visit Oregon we take his training incrementally to the next level, and yesteday we took him and his buddy JamUp for a little ride to another farm, unloaded and hiked around in a brand new, big, open space for the first time, and then loaded up and came home. I’m so very proud of Wilson (and Ann) for working on trailering fears, learning to lead, and exploring new places. These are my happy glimmers!

We have an amazing group of students of the horse gathered this weekend Safe Acres Animal Sanctuary and Rags to Rescues Sanctuary for the culmination of their 24 day ROTH Holistic Horse Course! It is a weekend for this wonderful, dedicated group to showcase all they have learned through presentations, written exam and 2 practical demonstrations. I am proud to have mentored and taught this group and we are all enjoying having Anna Twinney here for the final 3 days.
May the horse be with you today, Renegades! Capture the whisper, listen to your horse, stay present, calm and confident. You’ve got this !

I’m out in Oregon for a few weeks teaching private lessons and part 3 of the ROTH Holistic Horse Course!

This is young Mustang, Whisper, who got to take his first big trailer ride since arriving to the farm as a foal! Our next session will be unloading in a brand new location, and the loading back up and going home. Incremental building blocks makes for an amazing foundation, and this kid’s got it! Stay turned for more snippets from Oregon 💕
