The more I work with horses, the less I can “box” what I do.
One exercise may be used for a specific reason today, but tomorrow you may use the same exercise for a completely different reason. It is hard to see only one benefit to exercising, which is one of the main reasons I can easily fall into a side-track
conversation when asked, 'Why would you recommend this?'🤔
I have branched out my services into 2 categories to give you better clarity of what I can help you with.
Yet every day I find myself hopping from one box to the next as to what is needed to do to help your horse where he is at this very moment.
Your goal may be building his top line, but your horse needs to learn to trust you better so that he releases the anxiety stuck in his body.
You may want to work at liberty, but his poor balance causes him to disconnect in a small circle…
Mental and physical state are so interconnected that it is hard to separate, and the more I see the journey with a horse, being building up, the less I can see a difference.
Liberty is not a discipline to me, it is something I do with all horses I work with, to confirm if I am a good leader for them in all aspects of what I work on achieving.
Tricks are now the gatekeepers of higher dressage maneuvers,
Higher dressage manoeuvres are asking/allowing a horse to express himself,
And the so-called “groundwork” is my equivalent of placing gas in my tank. If I want my vehicle to drive me where I want to go, I'd better make sure it’s full and ready before I leave for an adventure.
So, where is your next adventure leading you?😉
