"Meet Africano 🇪🇸 PRE – a heartwarming journey 📖 Remember the times I shared about this amazing horse during our training days? While it's been a while since I last updated, I owe a big shoutout to Africano for introducing me to my incredible English family Anne Lee. They've stood by me through thick and thin, offering unwavering support during my toughest moments in the UK 🇬🇧 . Dealing with horses is like embracing different puzzles 🧩 all of them are different and Africano 🐎 was quite the challenge. His intentions were pure, but his nerves and stress levels made things a tad tricky and could be very dangerous. When I first encountered him, catching him in the field was like playing hide and seek, mounting felt like a mission impossible, and once manage to mount, controlling him was a whole new level of adventure. Stress would send him into a piaffing frenzy for a solid 20 minutes or more 😱 Some suggested to PTS him, others branded him dangerous or untrainable, and one pro rider even had a laugh at my expense a couple of times in front of other people and shouted at me to PTS. (Until she saw me riding him with a rope halter 🪢), we'd prove them all wrong and take the reins! ⏰ Anne, you're a star! She never threw in the towel and put in relentless effort to keep Africano's training going. Time worked its magic 💫 When Africano returned home with her, he wasn't perfect, but he was finally rideable and ready for some normal training. I had a few rides with him, we hacked out, and I had some lessons with Anne. 🇪🇸 Fast forward, I jetted off to Spain for a 5-month winter break. Honestly, I was worried about how Africano and Anne would fare in my absence. Yet, Anne's updates kept my spirits high, and by the time I got back, I hopped right on him and saw the progress they'd made. Confidence was up, incidents were down (after 5 months of daily riding – impressive, right?). 👌 These days, distance keeps us apart, but Anne and

Lusitano Horse Progress Update

Over the moon 🌙 with the progress of this horse 🐴 ⭐️ As promise….video update on the progress one week after the videos in the previous post. And riding him just with the rope halter 🪢🪢😉 📢 there are things to improve, many!! But many more and more important the ones that have been improved. Very proud on his progress. He is still a bit tense but considering that I’m riding him in an open space in the middle of the village where there are people, dogs, vehicles passing, even a neighbour playing an instrument 🎷 🤣. What else can I ask him? 🤷🏼‍♂️ he’s trying hard. Persistence 💪 , lots of passion 😍and more thinking 💭 . When friends tell you to get rid of him, the vet suggest the same and even your wife that has seen me with lots of horses thinks this won’t get right…..there you are!! The best her face when she passed the corner and saw me riding him bridleless 🤣 #dressage #dressagetraining #horsemanship #naturalhorsemanship #equinebehaviourist #horseproblems #happyhorsehappyrider #cheshirehorsetrainer #cheshire #cheshirehorse #horsetrainer

🐴Milo Progress Update 📣 I would like to share some videos of last Friday riding Milo for his owners to see the progress. I’m very glad of how he is progressing on his training and the owners feedback couldn’t be better and only the people there know the feelings we all had ☺️. It’s obvious that there are mistakes from both (me and Milo) but considering where we come from with this horse, all the hands he is been under, the period that I’ve had him in training and the great effort that Milo’s owners have done for years to get to this point, we can’t be any happier 🥳. For the ones that don’t remember his story, I leave here the link: https://fb.watch/gDW7hTh0pi/ I’m starting to get all his energy under control at trot with more steady rhythm. We have started the lateral work as shoulders in, half pass, leg yield, travers and renvers. However, for me when I train any horse, more than each specific exercise (as you can teach them to any horse in one way or another), it’s their mental stability what I pay a lot of attention as it’s what will allow them to have consistency in their work. Milo is starting to get a lot more relaxed in his body but specially in his mouth and trusting me more to take him anywhere and not having sharp reactions out of nowhere. For a good progress with any horse, there are no shortcuts, the only route is skills/tools🧰, work/perseverance💪 and time⏰.

🐴Blair handover 🫴😊 On Saturday, Blair was collected to go back home. He’s been with me 4 weeks (2.5 weeks in training and 1.5 week in lessons with the owner) When he first came, Blair had ❌ poor ground manners, was ❌ spooky and tense and was ❌ fighting the bit constantly. Her owner wasn’t confident enough to ❌ canter him. When the owner visited me she was thinking that the problems could come from 20 million different things that the “yard experts” and friends with the best intentions had told her. From what she told me, I was confident it was lack of training and not understanding what he’s been asked. 📹 Here the results 👇👇, ulcers, lameness and other problems have disappeared 😊 ✅ ground manners ✅ spooky and tense ✅ bit contact ✅ canter (even loose) Note: If someone was expecting more progress, I have never done magic and never promised it. I know that in the Amazon world of “next day delivery” many are seeking this progress but the “The times of people are not the times of horses”. Thanks @Rachel Cox for trusting me and hope you start enjoying your horse and having good times with him.

🐴 Billy warmblood Yesterday, I said goodbye 👋 to Billy 🐴 after 2 weeks with me. Billy had already a “good reputation” and was bought with the warning of his very bad ground manners and explosive reactions in competition and these only got worse. 🙈 Before, Billy was constantly in alert mode with his head up 🚨 ⚠️ and not able to show his true potential. And now, ….watch the video 📹👇👇 🤩🤩 I’m really pleased with the results achieved and Hope I have helped their owners Elizabeth Jeffers and Rachael Jeffers with these problems in the future and now the competitions are lot better.

Dixie progress

⚠️ Yesterday, we had the final test with the farrier and approved with great marks 👌 📽 A bit long this video but worth watching 👇👇 I’m over the moon and very proud of the progress achieved with Dixie in only 4 weeks of work. When I met Dixie she was the type of horse that nobody would want to be close to as all her problems were not just bad. 1. Very aggressive on the stable. With a sign/drawing from her owner saying “Careful, I’m crazy and may bite”. I confirm she tried to bite me several times (Picture attached) 2. Really bad to be shod (Video of the farrier's feedback) 3. Really bad lunging even attacking the person lunging (picture of the before and video of the after). 4. Really bad leading (video of her now paying attention to the rider, walking, running, stopping) 5. Bad tacking moving around non-stop and impossible to tie pulling rings from the walls. She is now like a "piece of furniture" that you can leave for hours (short clip tacking) 6. Imposible to be showered. Now she seems to enjoy the relaxing baths 🛁🚿(video of the after) 7. Bad riding and not accepting any contact (video of her now, this is of course what we are working on now) And as the owner likes a lot liberty and tricks we have even started to do this and she can sit now. Nonetheless, this has only been possible thanks first to Zoe Kerr, a magnificent and hardworking yard owner (Francis Farm private livery yard ) that put always first the interest of her clients and contacted me for help as she was following my work on Facebook for while. Also and first again too 😂, thanks to Dixie’s owners, Alison Butterworth and her daughter Grace, who from the first day 100% trusted me and allowed me to do my work with total freedom and that’s why magic has happened 🪄🤩. Honestly, it’s a real pleasure to work with you and you can’t imagine how happy I was leaving every day the yard after achieving each day some progress and seeing Grace’s smile a

⚠️Dangerous Horse - Kicking and Farrier Fear Te vídeo bellow is about Seb a horse that had some fears to overcome and was very bossy and was barging his owner around but one of the main problems was his aggressiveness when trying to pick his feet for cleaning or to be shod. In the video I show you the before and after. How he kicked me and even bit my back leaving me a mark of his teeth. The video is of two different days but the changes actually happened during the first session. Many thanks Stacey Poochey Tonge for allowing me to work with your horse 😊. It’s a pleasure to be able to help people to have better relationships with their horses!! And also great to see your commitment to learn more about this fascinating world of horses👏👏.

Horse Farrier Fear

🐴🐎 Farrier fear 🐎🐴 So glad to receive good feedback from Charlotte Jean Darlington and Jackie about my work with Elsa. Elsa didn’t allow her owner or the farrier to pick her feet and needed sedation 💉 each time the farrier came. And look at her now!!! No sedation and very relax🤩🤩😍 Like the farrier said: “this is not the same horse” Many thanks for trusting me😊🙏🏻 More info: Hector Equine Horse Trainer & Behaviourist 🐎 Dressage 📍 Cheshire 🇬🇧 📞 +44 7756 953 960 #farrier #farrierfear #horsemanship #horsemanshiptraining #hectorequine

Spanish Walk

During the training of a horse, requests must be made without disturbing the balance. The development of the gesture and the brilliance come later, when the horse has understood and is easily balanced in the execution of a certain air. The mark of a good workout is not flashy gestures, but calm. "The Spanish walk is a trained movement performed by a horse. While at a walk, as the horse raises each foreleg off the ground, it lifts the leg in an exaggerated upward and forward manner. The action is said to benefit the horse by helping it learn to open up its shoulder movement."

Starting a foal - Ground manners

′′ A difficult horse can be deterred from exhibiting unpleasant behavior, and can be taught to obey the rider's fair demands, partly for timely prevention, such as a reduction in demand, partly for a reassuring praise, but in also part for strict treatment and sometimes hard correction. But at the same time any of these remedies can cause disgusting behavior if applied at the wrong time. Kindness, indulgence and praise at the wrong time often teach the horse disrespect aid, initially and then oppose them and stubbornness. Rigor, punishment, hard treatment and intransigence by the rider at the wrong time, first causes mistrust, then shyness, fear, agitation or even hysteria and finally malevolence and intentional challenge. The application of appropriate aids for horse character at the right time and in the right intensity, along with the correct assessment of its conformation, is the biggest difficulty in the art of hard horse training. One can expect success in vain if the rider is always indulgent as much as if the rider is always strict." E.F.Seidler
