21.01.2022 My magnificent Boy Justin, patiently waiting to train the trainer. With over 25yrs of horsemanship experience, I never stop learning. My horses continuously teach me & I am so grateful to have them by my side. Some of the most valuable lessons I’ve learned, are to try to always be in the moment.. to be mindful everyday to be better than I was yesterday and to never give up, keep pushing to be the best version of yourself. ... Justin pushes himself everyday to be fitter, stronger, faster and to adapt to pressure. We have so much to learn from these beautiful animals. What’s something your horse has taught you? Please share in the comment section, I’d love to hear them.

17.01.2022 MEN AND THEIR ONE TRACK MINDS Do you know, horses are like most men, but unlike most women! They have one-track minds. Stop there, I know what your thinking. Wh...en men get together for a beer, normally one man talks and the other three listen. With a group of four women, there may be three different conversations going on and all four women can tell you what any one of them were talking about. Women can be talking on the phone and be doing three different things at the same time. Try to get a message to a man while he's on the phone. He has to interrupt his phone call, throw a stop hand signal in the air, ask that person if they would mind holding for one moment, and then painfully cock their head to one side so he’s able to digest something more. Horses operate the same way as most men, only being able to focus on one thing at a time. (That's why he really didn't hear you when you were trying to talked to him while he was busy) Now, a smart rider can use this horse trait to his or her advantage. Can your horse call out to his buddy across the paddock while he's answering your call to them through the reins? Obviously not. In most people's experience the horse is focusing on his buddy and ignoring the rider. He may not be willfully ignoring the rider, but he just may have something else more important than you, on his mind. So, our job is to replace these thoughts of the other horse with thoughts about our request. That's why repetition is so important in teaching our horse to obey our cues. We want to bypass his thinking mechanism of the horse and condition him to respond to the cues that we desire, automatically. When we first teach any cue, the horse has to figure out what we are asking him to do. It takes a tremendous number of repetitions consistently performed the same way, and rewarding the same positive response, before the horse really understands what a specific cue means. From there he'll go through a learning cycle of one time seeming to know what your asking, to combining a couple of steps together, and another times not knowing what's being asked of him at all. If the educator gets frustrated at a low point in the cycle, and changes the request or fails to reward a positive response, the horse becomes confused, which makes the process take even longer. The more we're able to present single requests to our horse, the faster they'll learn. When those single requests become solid and dependable, that’s when we decrease the time frame between each cue, so it appears to be a single fluid movement. No horse can really focus on more than one thing at a time, not even a ladies horse. Keep an open mind when shaping your horse’s future.JM

10.01.2022 This video demonstrates Freedom of movement at the canter, followed by neck extension.. This is Taz, he belongs to my dedicated student Rachael. She is teaching Taz to extend his neck forward and downwards, without loosing his balance on the circle around her. Neck extension stretches the horses top line which will also engages the core, promoting overall benefits to the horses posture. ... Great job Rachael & Taz #teamwork #trainingmotivation #trust #Canter #jasonmcinneshorsemanship Keep an open mind when changing the conversation between horse and rider

04.01.2022 I am often told by clients that when it comes to feeding time, their horse can display signs of dominance and show attitude. This can cause some owners to feel uneasy going into the yard. If let go too long, it can become a big problem, not only the owner/rider but for the horse. Here’s a short video that shows how to implement a simple change and help adjust attitudes. ...
