The world is waking up! Thanks to Animal welfare activists 🐾❤️ Change is finally happening 🙌

conviction of a Boerboel breeder for “tail docking” sets an important precedent, affirming that the physical alteration of animals for cosmetic or aesthetic purposes is unlawful and unacceptable.

So proud of NSPCA - National Council of SPCAs 💙

Boerboel breeder fined R20 000 for illegal tail docking https://share.google/reVHYpE0OUNRi2Q15

Carlene Coetzee was found guilty of animal maiming after NSPCA inspectors discovered seven puppies with maimed tails hidden on her property. The case reinforces that cosmetic alterations to animals are unlawful under the Animals Protection Act.

This 👌

One of the hottest topics in the horse world right now is “being kind.”
And let me be clear — kindness matters.
But kindness without clarity isn’t kindness at all.

We’re seeing more labels than ever:
“Traumatized.”
“Shut down.”
“Anxious.”
“Dominant.”

Those words make people feel compassionate… but they don’t help horses change.

Here’s the truth most horses are waiting on:
They don’t need you to just feel more for them.
They need you to be clearer for them.

Horses don’t find safety in emotions.
They find safety in leadership.

Leadership doesn’t mean force.
It means consistency.
It means timing.
It means knowing when to apply pressure and when to release it so the horse can learn how to make a better choice next time.

A lot of problems people call “behavior issues” are really foundation gaps:
• unclear expectations
• inconsistent cues
• pressure applied emotionally instead of intentionally
• riders trying to be nice instead of effective

When leadership is missing, horses carry responsibility they were never meant to hold. And that’s when anxiety shows up.

Real horsemanship lives in the middle ground:
Firm, fair, and feel-based.
Soft, but not weak.
Clear, not cruel.

Your horse doesn’t need saving.
They need guidance.

And when you fix the foundation, the big problems start shrinking fast — because horses want to be good when the conversation makes sense.

This is the work we do.
Not theory.
Not trends.
Real results, built on principles that have stood the test of time.

If you’ve ever felt confused by all the noise out there…
You’re not behind.
You’re just ready for clarity.
