I've posted this quote previously from Manuel Jorge de Oliveira. I think it is a great indicator to w**d out the 'false prophets' on social media. When you read something on social media that strikes you and draws you to a trainers work, scroll through their timeline and look at the photos. We all like pictures and they truly do speak a thousand words. It's a habit I've gotten into whenever the trolls strike. It's amazing what a person or business's timeline tells you about their knowledge or lack thereof, and whether I need to take their comment seriously.

If you want to ride well, take clinics and advice from people who's riding you admire and who can explain things in a way that isn't so ethereal in nature that you're left wondering what the heck they mean. As someone who loves to write, it's easy to throw words around that don't result in any meaningful change in a horse or rider.

Relationship is the basis of all work with our horses. Relationship can be developed within the work. I see many riders get stuck between the ethereal and reality and then they are hesitant to actually ride their horses.

I can tell you with certainty that if the work is good, not perfect, but your expectations and aids are clear, sound horses do not resent being worked. Case in point, I rode my big mare Gracie twice yesterday. Morning and afternoon. I don't think I've ever seen her so doe-eyed and content with herself after that second ride, even though she clearly was not impressed to be tacked up a second time.

We live in a world that leans towards babying our horses in such an apologetic fashion for all the 'harms' we may cause. Work is good for all living beings. Our horses feel us. If you feel sorry for them for making them work, they feel that. Feel the joy in their movement, let them move and express themselves. Get 'seat' lessons to learn how to control your body during potential extravagant movement. "Show me your horses". It tells me what your words and actions fail to convey.❤️

We live in an era when learning how to do something ourselves is more important than handing over the keys to someone else. More and more I am finding clients who seek me out because they want to learn for themselves, not just have me work on their horses. I LOVE that.

Horses whose people work on them between my sessions make improvements much sooner than working with me alone. The opportunity to encourage, co-courage and build the confidence that everyone can work on a horse is an incredible privilege. Thanks to all of my amazing clients for wanting to learn and grow together. 💞

Happy 102nd birthday to my beautiful Gaga. 🩷 You are a blessing every day and I am so thankful you are my grandmother. You are sharp, witty and loving. We laugh together every time we chat and you make my day brighter. Thank you to all of my ancestors for being a part of my journey always.

This smile is because I come alive when I get to speak with clients and prospective clients about why this type of bodywork works. 🌱Pattern interrupting, 🌱following the horse’s subtle communications to learn about their body, 🌱accessing mind, body and spirit all together, 🌱activating their body systems that continue to support them to heal and change after I leave - those conversations just don’t get old. I can feel the magic start long before I lay hands on the horse.

I found this educational sign today at Beamish museum in County Durham. The Equine Defence League who produced this, was founded in 1909 by Francis Cox, his initial objective being to improve the conditions for pit ponies working in the mines. His cause was supported by such big names as Jerome K Jerome, Jack London, James Keir Hardy and Winston Churchill.

These signs could at one time be found in places where horses would be pulling heavy loads up hill.

But this is so relevant to every situation in which a horse might be worked today. Perhaps more than ever before.

Horse restricted in their ribs? Trouble bending to both sides? Trouble lengthening and stretching to come through their back? I can help with that! 🙋‍♀️10ish minutes between each of these three photos.
The last slide has some 🌟 areas to focus the eyes to see the changes.

I mean do they get any cuter?! 😍 This little guy has been working so hard on finding out that his body is safe. It is amazing to see how 3 sessions have helped him come back into the room, literally and figuratively. Like I told his person, it never gets old watching how they transform.

A bit belated but here’s an official welcome to the newest member of @appleyard_equine - Getty! You have fit right in with the whole herd and we are lucky to get to be a part of your journey, young man!! You are a gem. 💎

As we move through the world we are always strengthening something- so is it the thing we want to reinforce? Is it the muscle chain, the thought form, the emotional memory that we want to build up and hold on to? Or is there room to try something new? A way to be present that feels innovative and creative, expansive and life giving? I am so proud of clients, like this gentleman, who are ready to interrupt patterns and try new ways of being. He is awesome to start with, so things just get better and better. #reallifeunicorn🦄 #appleyardequine #mastersonmethod #mastersonmethodcertifiedpractitioner #patternsarepowerful

This marvelous mare! Mira was a star. My goals were to be together no matter what anyone else was doing, try to use the rope as a last resort only, work on our timing and feel and to help Mira learn more about how she can control outcomes. She exceeded my expectations. She found me again and again, locked on and we did us. Thank you, my beautiful friend, for trusting in me and giving me your all. 🦄

🪽She gives me wings🪽 Come see us at the @buckbrannaman clinic this weekend! #buckbrannamanmidwest

Subtlety is the language they speak. When we slow down and start to see the nuances, the magic begins. 🦚 #appleyardequine #subtle

Just some quality time together. 🦄🙈🐴 Everyone doing what they do best. Mira is a processing princess and Diego is eating and rearranging everything he can find. #appleyardequine #horsesofinstagram #justchilling

A windy day and our first ride back after almost a week due to the hot, humid weather and she stills her feet on an exhale and then checks in. 💫 I am so proud of this horse and our partnership. It might not look like much but the ability to ride together in body and mind means a lot to me. 💖 As a wise friend once told me- want better, not more. 🦚plus riding with a flock of barn swallows is one of my all time favorite summer activities. #appleyardequine #wantbetternotmore #softness #connection

#pasturelife

“Thank you for your knowledge, your wisdom and your heart.” ♥️ That is what one of my amazing clients said this week. It touched me deeply. Walking through the ups and downs of life together is not something I take lightly. 🪽3 times this week I have been asked to be present to pain and distress and to weigh in on the hardest choice that we as horse guardians ever have to make. It is an incredible privilege to be a part of a horse’s care team. The video is of some pasture time where Diego helps soothe my heart by just leaning into me and breathing. #appleyardequine #horsesheal #justbreathe

The gifts this boy gives me… 🫶 #myfavoriteplaceonearth #diego

This youngster and I are still getting to know one another. To say that he has changed his perspective of touch for the positive is an understatement. 🦄🤗 such a sweetheart #appleyardequine #equinebodywork #touchcanheal
