He speaks out of my heart!!!!

Every time you ride. You're either schooling or un-schooling your horse. There's no in-between.

Correct, traditional training is tested, proven and is suitably firm and kind in tandem. Bits, required to mouth and flex a horse to help him lift his core and carry his rider well into his teens or twenties if done correctly and fate remains kind to him.

Coaching, not terrifying the horse, allowing mistakes, but correcting them gently, progressively , not by yanking a rope or knotted head collar where the knots correspond painfully to pressure points on the face, but through repetition.

Correct training, its really deep, it's not easy, it demands more from the trainer than the horse most days. No loss of temper, no gadgets. It is about building the horse, physically and mentally, giving him confidence in you and allowing him to find himself, to learn balance, to accept the aids without a fight, in grace.

There's growth and understanding, not submission in a negative way. Kind legs and hands, a good seat for the rider to guide him through the process, through all of the training. No crude, cruel methods that are cleverly gift wrapped and presented as natural.

Forget about quick fix "systems" that only seek to hoodwink you into thinking they are working. Done through bullying and bulls*t, with tarpaulins, plastic bags on sticks and fast talking sales people, offering the holy grail by art of distraction. Most not able to actually do anything constructive in terms of correct training with any longevity.

Bullying, spinning, yanking, HURTING your horse by constantly brow beating him until his brain shuts down, his hind quarters hurt and his fetlock gives out. Know that doing this stuff, he will go lame and switch off if you're "lucky", fighting back if you're not!

Focus less on ego, or that of these so called messiahs with more Instagram followers than gods, but with so little knowledge, if you poured it into a teacup it wouldn't half way fill it!

I'm tired of bitless, bridleless, barefoot, not for a circus act but for day to day and at any cost. I'm fed up being told by nervous wrecks how groundwork will cure them of their fear of riding which as an experienced rider, I know, sadly, it won't.

Modern so called groundwork is not the correct method of long-reining and beautiful in hand working of the horse to flex, strengthen and advance him. The new so called groundwork, reported to build a bond just by subduing and confusing the horse, losing him all hope. Not to mention, this stuff is contextual. Horses don't think like us, so the tarpaulin indoctrination may be possible in a clinic or at home, but just you wait until it's out of the blue, on a hack, trust me, you won't ride him over it because riding isn't groundwork! The horse doesn't relate or connect the two.

Understand, you can build an unbreakable bond with your horse, through mutual respect, through taking time for his educational needs. Leave your ego at the door. Stop listening to snake oil sales people.

A horse is made, a rider is made. Making either takes a lifetime of hard work, repetition. consistency, disappointment and of course the absolute feeling of elation, joy. The highs are beyond comprehension, and until you have walked that path, you will never understand why the natural, no hope brigade talk such utter nonsense.

I accept the people who believe, I feel sad for them. Most so indoctrinated they want to justify their cults without stepping back and seeing it for what it is. Often, dare I say it, middle aged women, nervous to ride, looking for a reason not to, being sold an expensive dream in order to have the decision vindicated by others who want to "play" with a horse. I only hope, for the sake of the horse, they one day realise they are wrong. As a middle aged woman, I know the joy of riding. That's why it saddens me that the "cults" normalise not riding when I bet, 99% without medical reason, would buy the £1000 nerves cure potion if it was a thing, so they could ride fear free! I get it, I'm not being mean, I'm trying to make you see the wood amongst the trees!

I don't bother to fight back, the argument is pointless, the disciples are as subdued as their horses, confused by smoke and mirrors.

Just know that you can go to groups that love all that rubbish. Share this post so you can moan about it with other believers. I really don't care, because I know what is right and humane and correct. I thankfully ride every day, my horses are happy and healthy with no fear of me or my methods. Just, know it won't change the facts, moaning will only make you feel better, justified, able to discuss with your peers about how uneducated I am (!). That's fine, you haven't found your way yet. I hope you do.

This group is for people who genuinely want to get on better with their horse. To overcome nerves and anxiety riding to progress. This is not a place for natural horsemanwhatever, and I invite you to leave if that is your thing and you don't like my point of view.

If you want to genuinely find a way, please stay, open you mind, your heart. See where it leads.

Save for the Masters who preserve the correct training methods, modern opinions have changed, usually driven by money in sales of gadgets and promises. Methods have changed, but in the last five thousand years, one thing hasn't changed... the horse.

Let it sink in and keep your horse healthy, even spectacular might give you higher marks.
Correct riding is enough! Paul Stecken

Being a champion isn't buying the most expensive horse, having the most expensive barn, trailer, or tack. Being a champion isn't winning a class. Being a champion isn't always glory and great times.

Being a champion is love, passion, hard work, dedication... It's tears and screaming, it's not always easy. It's working no matter what conditions you have to do it in. It's late nights and early mornings, it's horses before yourself, before your friends, often before your family. Its sore bodies, bruises, and cuts. It's vet bills and last dimes to make sure they have all they need. It's crying in their mane when you had a bad day. It's smiling when they finally get that thing you've been trying to teach them for a month. It's having the best network of people to care for them and to support you. It's farriers, vets, dentists, chiropractors, feed store owners, husband's, wives, family, friends and even enemies. It's learning how to take the good with the bad and never knowing what each day may bring. It's the happy and the sad. It's the highs and the lows. Its wanting to give up but never doing so. Most of all, it's the love that you feel every time you see those eyes and hear that nicker. Being a champion really has little to do with victories in the show pen as it does with victories on every road to get to that show. Being a champion is living for what you love and loving what you do and who you do it with and NEVER giving up. The victories are many and the ribbons are the icing on the cake so to say. But being a champion is so much more than just winning... And once you can learn that, you too will be a champion.

I'm so proud of my students totally agree with me on this and the success proves that that's the only way to succeed.
Put your horse first, if it makes a mistake look at yourself first.

Horses aren't there to brush your ego they want to be your partner and than they go above and beyond to perform. If it is being a trusting horse on a trail ride or in a competition.
Building a team is the most important step of your journey.
It takes time and patience and a little bit of sense of humor instead of getting mad.

Kind a late but we are over the moon happy with the outcome of our show season. Seriously couldn't be better.
Jen finished as 1 m all around champion Tally Ho series, big thank you to Cindy and Terry for putting up this shows.
Also got 1m Provincial champion , whoop whoop 👏😁
Ian and Sven are .60/.75 all around champion and because there was no provincial at his height we threw him into the 2.3 hunter. They came home reserve champion 🤗👏👍
First year for Maddie in the team and she did awesome. We are happy to have her in our team and hope we can have more training in for next season.
Max and her increased a lot already even cranking up to.85
And the kids got the opportunity of doing their first show ever in a leadline class.
They were so excited, let's see if the two usually soccer players got the horse show fever now 🤞😂
We are super thrilled about 2025 which hopefully make us go to Alberta.
Season will start at Brandon Winter fair.
So now after a well deserved pause for the horses riding out in the fields until snow flies followed by lot's of dressage training so having a break from the jumping once a week we usually do.
I'm a firm believer in that and the horses thank it to really put all in if they can have their fall fun .

The riders are totally look ahead for that dressage torture 😜

That hands down. And your horse will thank you by performing to it's best ability.
“Put the horse first.

Easy to say. Hard to do.

Putting the horse first requires commitment. It requires integrity. And patience. And energy. And money. And oh, does it require time.

Putting the horse first means earlier mornings and later nights. It means quality feed plans and the best hay that you can buy. And extra brushing so that coats gleam and manes and tails shine.

Putting the horse first means that you buy three extra bags of shavings for your stall at the horse show (yes, I know they're expensive!!), because even though you can "get by" with two, you want to do right by your horse. If you don't want to stand on concrete all weekend, why would they?

Putting the horse first means that you have a good working relationship with a quality equine vet. It means that every horse gets the best quality of care that you can afford to give it. Your performance horse is an athlete. Treat them like one.

And when your vet says, "Rest them for 10-14 days," be generous and give them the 14. Even if it's inconvenient. Even if you've aleady paid your stalls and entries. Even if it's the last thing you want to hear.

Putting the horse first means that if you've been rained out of the arena for two weeks and your horse isn't fit, you don't haul to the horse show. You choose to be fair to the horse and keep them home, instead.

It also means that if you haul three hours to the horse show only to find that the ground is dangerous, you load up and go home. It takes discipline, but you don't jeopardize what you want in the moment for the long-term confidence, health, and soundness of your horse.

Putting the horse first means that no saddle, no halter, no buckle, no trophy, no paycheck comes before the well-being of your equine partner. No matter what.. And it ain't an easy row to hoe.

Many will ride. Many will compete. Many will win. But few will be horse(wo)men.

Don't just be a competitor. Be better”

Great weekend, Maddie and Max did an awesome job and ended up as reserve champion in the .85 . Second time riding that height.
Ian and Sven made champion in their class.
Jen had some nice rounds only forgot her GPS in one round so put him in an impossible spot actually the standard 🙈😂 and wisely decided to put on the breaks and retire in that round. They are a great team and if the rider is messing up there's no need to loose the trust and confidence from the horse, just to finish. Next round she fixed it and they came home second.
Proud of all ! Great teams , looking forward to September for the provincials. Sadly that would be already the last Tally Ho. Season goes by way to fast. The kids Ashley and Justin were good helpers, walking the horses morning and evening, bringing water, taking care of Bailey etc.

Sven and Ian rocking it! Mounted shooting. Can it get more versatile than that? This Team is just special what a great partnership they have developed!!!

14/07/2024

Good weekend at Tally Ho we had lots of fun. Blame on the trainer not reading the rule book. Nice round for Jen's first time medal class which she had won if she had worn a coat. ... I asked for martingale and wip but didn't know a coat is required 🤷 At least we weren't the only one not knowing, lol. So nobody at all placed in that class. Maddie did a huge improvement cranking up the height, I'm very proud of her getting max way more ridable and get great placings. Good job!! Ian and Sven made reserve champion 👏. And Jen also in her class.
Kids had fun camping and Theresa was a great entertainer actually the best. Lots of laugh and good time. See you all in August hopefully without rain!!!

10/07/2024

To hot to do anything so just a little stroll through the pasture. Stormy my best babysitter and Simon learning to pony a horse. Ashley had fun sitting on a horse after a long time again. Soccer season is over 😜😉

08/07/2024

Milly thought outdoor is fun. My little airplane ✈️ laught about 1.25 m 💪 The sky is the limit I guess when she's trained up.

05/07/2024

Fun jumping lesson today. Practicing turns and jump on an angle.

16/06/2024

Good Saturday for the team at the Tally Ho show again. Unfortunately the weather god decided to rain us out on Sunday. Thanks to Ian to be the awesome skilled driver bringing the Horses home safe and sound. Thanks to Cindy and her Team, they put so much effort into running the show !! Thanks and we will see us in July!

03/06/2024

Simon officially a 3 ring horse 😆 well due to the unsteady weather we decided to try hunter this weekend because it's on sand and jumper on grass, an it's way more convenient to load up at 11 than at 5 a.m.
Ended with reserve champion 3 foot 👏

31/05/2024

A little bit late but look at this 😊
Ian and Sven got 2 awards in their first show season from SHF.
I'm so proud of them. In March 2023 they still struggled to hold the canter , so it's quite unbelievable how far they came.
It shows to work hard and do the homework pays off.
Coachable students are a dream to have for every trainer 😁

26/05/2024

What an awesome weekend at Tally Ho season start. Thanks to them for putting up such a great show.

Fun jumping lesson today. Practicing turns and jump on an angle.

That time of the year we do some spooky stuff so horses are relaxed in show season. Lots of fun today. More videos in comments.

People go in gym we use the deep snow to build muscles 😂

If you are creative you can fit 10 jumps with 12 obstacles in a tiny tiny arena, it's 46 by 78 feet. They did a great job tackling that task. Jump off tied turns shouldn't be a problem anymore 😂.

Good practice today. Well Brandon their first really big show is coming soon. Wish we could practice in a normal arena but we deal with what we have. They are still good prepared I think. And no doubt we are very excited and Ian might join in ,too. He's out of winter hibernation and after 2 weeks pretty much back where he was last fall

They still struggle a bit with the flying changes, this pattern will help landing on the proper lead or change over the pole.

I'm a big believer in building trust and it works for me all the time. Just trust no exhaustion or chasing or longing the crap out of them. 4 th time she is on her and we had the first trot.
