Your horse feels what you feel, so build a partnership of trust.

The magic of cooperation can be learned. Lorene had no prior experience and within a few lessons had learned to communicatd with my very opinionated mare. Here she is doing libery work in the yard.

There is a magic to a horse who choses to work with their human. I have been blessed to discover how to pass this knowledge onto others. Lorene is a student of mine with no prior horse experience. Within weeks she had gotten used to reading the horse and enjoying the relationship with Ella, my very opinionated drama mare.

How I introduce kids to horses. Firstly, less is more. Let them be vulnerable. Read the comfort level of both the child and the horse before trying to add anything. I ask them if they would like to do more, and increase activity in baby steps. There is no rush. They will feel out of control at first, but they also lose focus fast. So I switch things up often. Hand leading on a walk is always safe and fun. Remember to breathe, and safety always comes first.

I have learned so much since gentling this gelding in 2008. He was my first real full train from weakling to all round trail horse.

Lunging training

19/10/2020

He tends to be quietly resistant. So I had to get after him a little harder to make him move thru the discomfort. The saddle was spooky. But once he had a few laps he decided he could live with it. Very smart horse. But also I have already built trust.

Can you tell the moment I lose connection? Sometimes it is a distraction, confusion, or just something more interesting than you. In this case I didn't set up the change in direction with enough clarity and the right timing, so he left. Also being conscious of the position and posture of your body communicates to your horse. They read your every muscle.

Horses don't know anything about agendas and goals. They are in the moment. So they respond to your energy and if you can be in the moment they will stay relaxed and supple and learn so much faster.

This was his first ride. He is picking it up so fast. Kids! What a magical moment. I am so proud.

First ride off the lunge line. He loved it. Good for self esteem, focus, balance, and creating calm and contentment.

What to do when you have bathed in the river? Why roll in the sand!

Coerced into the water. Once he is there he likes it.

Trying to get Ella to smile for the camera

My gelding looooves water.

Ella is much more timid. She will stick her toe in, then think about it.

Ky has learned to go in by himself. Which is good as I no longer need to get my boots filled with water.

Testing the leadership and bond thru liberty work.

Such great progress with 11 y old. He is showing such talent for giving direction and being steady. Horses like a clear leader.

My friend Rebecca riding Ella. We started in the arena then took a stroll into the pasture. The clover makes her drool, not so attractive. She was so good today. Such nice weather.

The weather today was amazing. We ran out of fly spray so that was annoying them. But they were good anyway. I was leadi...

The weather today was amazing. We ran out of fly spray so that was annoying them. But they were good anyway. I was leading the pony. She was preoccupied with grass while I took pictures. Super nice ride. Easy does it.
