This is Izzy. She’s about 14 yrs. old, and is currently in training with me. This video shows the progress she has made learning to yield.

Building confidence in the trailer, not just loading.
Building confidence in the trailer, not just loading.
When Eliza was picked up for the feedlot her owner said that they had to herd her into the trailer. She was able to load her okay a few times. But the last time she was hauled she pulled back, reared up, hit her head, and fell down on her side in the trailer. The first time I asked her to put her nose in the trailer, it took about 40 minutes to get her to even look at the trailer. She was so nervous she got a little sweaty. This video shows some of our progress since I’ve been working with her on trailer loading.
You might notice that the right side of Eliza’s butt is swollen in the first video. Then you’ll see drainage in the other videos. Eliza got out and fell on some blacktop, she got a seroma that the vet had to lance. The vet told me to continue working with her since movement would help it drain.
Hi everyone here’s an update on Eliza.
She’s beginning to gain confidence with speed and connecting to my energy(up and down through the gaits.) Eliza’s also gaining confidence through different yields. Along with that she’s beginning to understand that pressure doesn’t always mean to speed up and run faster.

Hi everyone, this is Wally. He’s an 18 yr. old Thoroughbred who is retired from jumping and dressage do to an injury. His new owner’s goal is to do liberty with him. He has been in part time training with me for about a month now. Staying connected while in motion has been the hardest thing for him. As you can see he’s making good progress. This is his first time doing a figure 8 at liberty.

She seems to be feeling better. Working on forequarter yields.
Eliza Farrier Day
This is out of order with Eliza's session sequence. But she did so well yesterday with the farrier I just had to share. Yay no drugs!!!
Not sure if you remember from her intro video. But she had to be sedated to have her feet done, it was also hard to give her that sedation.
