Leading from behind isn’t about pushing them; it’s about connection and communication from behind.
Good girl Fanta!

What a sweet way to start a Tuesday morning. Joseph used to have defensive posturing upon approach. Now he seems to enjoy affection.

Vix’s session in long-reining and pulling a tarp—BUT WITHOUT REINS?? What could possibly be of value in this lesson?

Our Philosophy
We foster trust and confidence in horse and handler through evidence-based, relational horsemanship. Connection is the cornerstone of our training, and connection happens when horse and handler are mutually noticed, valued and understood. Whether we are c**t starting, liberty training, advancing performance skills, or resolving challenging behaviors, everything we do is achieved through connection, balance, and feel. Do you want to strengthen your ability to connect, deepen your relationship with your horse, and build value in your daily interactions? Schedule a session and begin transforming your equine relationships today!

Being new to driving (thank you Chris Davis for the introduction!), this was fun to incorporate into my liberty work with a team. Such a useful tool and oh, the potential.

Racheal got to ride Sunny for the first time in this morning’s session—nice job!

15/06/2024

Big day for Corrine—introduction to the saddle. Before today I had not even shown her the saddle. How do you think she did?

Sunny getting out of the arena—she’s growing up.

Starting Corrine cont’d.
She had her first lay down on cue this morning and her first ride through the wash. Just riding in a halter and ba****ck as we haven’t introduced the saddle or bit yet—soon though.

An article titled, WHY YOU SHOULD NOT TEACH LATERAL FLEXION has been making its rounds on social media the past couple of years. I was recently asked what I thought about it. I’ll start out by identifying the premise of the article, which is a false binary. The premise of the article (buried amongst a lot of misrepresentations and straw-man arguments) is that you cannot teach both lateral flexion with feet at a stand still and lateral flexion that involves moving the hindquarters. This premise is patently false. In an attempt to disparage teaching the lateral flexion, the article’s best argument against it was to list reasons why you SHOULD teach the horse to yield its hindquarters. Therein lies the false dichotomy—this is not something where you have to teach one or the other as there are reasons to teach both the lateral flexion (at a stand still) and the giving to the inside rein while connecting movement to the inside hind foot. In fact, more advanced maneuvers require horses to move their feet and head/neck independently with contrary motion. Just because you teach a horse to disconnect inside rein to inside hind leg doesn’t mean you can’t ever move their hindquarters. At the end of the article it asks, “What disadvantage is created by connecting their hindquarters to the inside rein?” That question is like writing an article about why you should not eat peanut butter and then asking what possible disadvantage could there be to adding jelly to your peanut butter sandwich? Just because peanut butter and jelly is a tasty sandwich, doesn’t mean that every time you eat peanut butter you must add jelly. What if you want some peanut butter on your apple? Do you have to eat a peanut butter and jelly apple? What if you simply want a spoonful of peanut butter without having to navigate the jelly jar? Peanut butter is not a problem, nor is jelly a solution. They are distinct ingredients that are tasty both alone and combined.

I also believe these ideas are at play with how our equine partner’s view and respond to their environment. Learning to manage our own responses and emotions is a good place to start.

04/06/2024

Still in the early learning stages for this team, but it’s the 1st time they have all been in the big arena (and only the 3rd time they’ve all been together EVER). The beginning of an exciting journey.

Racheal getting Sunny used to the bit. Nicely done!

It’s fun watching someone else get to have a liberty experience with our horses. Nicely done Justine!

Starting Corrine.
Long-reining was a game changer for Corrine as she was having difficulty in traveling forward, from left to right especially. Once she got the hang of it (in 3 sessions), duplicating it from her back was easy. She’s also taking nicely to the process to the lay down. Now to build on all of it.

25/05/2024

Sunny’s introduction to the bit. It’s also her first time long-reining—it’s my 3rd time ever and I’m loving it! It’s definitely something I’ll be adding as a regular part of my program. Sunny’s training up to this point made these introductions easy peasy.
