13.01.2022 People often get worried about watching the John Chatterton Affiliative Horsemanship pull and releases because when the horse has not learnt to come forward of...f pressure the horses can have quite big reactions to them. These two horses both have had some mighty pull and releases to help them learn how to be trimmed politely and calmly and yet here they are looking very relaxed and sleepy. The black mare has had a lot of re-training from me for her trauma under saddle, she at times was very dangerous and violent in her responses to learning new tasks and to the pull and release, however when she finished her treatment today she was taken back up to her yard and let go and I moved onto the big horse. She decided she’d rather be with me and came trotting back down and parked herself nearby on top of me and had a nap, at times resting her nose on my rump while I trimmed! The reason the horses don’t fear us when we pull and release is because we step back while doing it, this means they don’t realise you applied the uncomfortable consequence in response to their naughty behaviour. As a result the horse does not develop fear and resentment unlike other training methods such as ‘working’ them around, ‘sending them away’ or kicking them in the guts. If I arrive and walk into the arena while the black mare in the photo is being ridden, she rushes over to see me and puts her head on my chest, completely ignoring the rider, even if she hasn’t seen me for months. If you correct a horse while standing next to it, eg. jerk lead, punch, kick or wave a rope, then the horse blames you for the unpleasantness, and will submit due to feeling dominated, however resentment occurs and later on with a softer person they will express their annoyance at being dominated. This is why many horses will be obedient for a trainer but then come back home and walk all over or be aggressive with their softer owners. The fundamental difference with John Chatterton’s work is he ALWAYS STEPS BACK when the uncomfortable consequence (pull and release) is applied. Thus the horse never realises we did it and they blame themselves for the consequence to their naughty behaviour. We then give them a rub after and continue the work, so they think we’re nice people who NEVER trap them, and always leave when asked, hence why the method builds such beautiful trust and adoration from the horses
11.01.2022 Day 1 of our 10 Step/Obstacle Clinic. Beautiful weather and a great bunch of ladies and men with their gorgeous horses. We have a few youngsters aged 1,2 @ 3 yrs olds taking it all in their stride. A few pics of our day.

08.01.2022 This is the first ride for this little mare. I've been starting her using John Chatterton Affiliative Horsemanship methods. She knew her steering and stopping aids off the long reins but froze when I hopped on, which is quite normal. So I used the button on her shoulder with my foot to help her remember the rein back signal. She became nice and light on the rein back aids, but then she forgot her click signal and she's demonstrating nicely here how you just quietly ask fo...r the forward aid with a click and the softest leg squeeze and a swing with the donga and repeat the sequence until she takes 1 step. Most breakers jump on and then rush the horse forwards, and this frightens them. This mare will go forwards beautifully willingly when she is comfortable with me being on her back. It's very normal for young horses to be very slow in their early stages of training. As long as they offer 1% that's all you need. It saddens me when I see baby horses ridden in spurs because of their 'laziness'. They're being 'lazy' because they're scared and it causes them to freeze. As long as they listen to the aids it doesn't matter how slowly they go. Once they have their confidence they'll bowl along forwards very nicely. Rushing them at this stage is how dangerous spooky/bucky/bolty horses are created. And yes, that's me on for the first time riding bareback in an unattached saddle cloth to keep my pants clean. I'm not interested in being secure up there because if she does something silly I'm planning on jumping off and pulling and release to show her that silly behaviour will make the rider leave and then it will be uncomfortable. I also have my neck strap on for safety if she does take off out from under me. I break in all my horses bareback, and I feel much safer that way because it's much easier to quickly slide off and apply the pull and release. They tend not to explode anyway because they have the JC 10 steps preparation, and all the anti buck, bolt, spook, rear training before I even get on, and they're taught to steer, stop, rein back and go on the long reins before being ridden. This is why this mare, once she un-froze knew exactly what I was talking about and the aids were butterfly light from the very beginning. ~ Dr Melanie Quick

04.01.2022 Kelli here....Another gorgeous day for the clinic. Demos on float loading, standing still, manoeuvring safely through obstacles and helping teach our horses to be our mate through training with no intimidation or dominance. The horses truly learn to understand when you allow them to work out what is comfortable and what is not by using the JC 10 Step Method. Thank you so much Paul and Katherine for all your help over the weekend, John and Janet for having me be a part of your clinics & to all the lovely participants for also allowing me to help you and your horses when needed. A weekend of learning with horses are just the best.

01.01.2022 Kelli here....JC & I headed out today to see Celia and the gorgeous Ty for a trail ride. Anzac & Tristan enjoyed meeting up with Ty again and off we went out on the trail. All the boys were relaxed & enjoyed their outing. I haven’t seen Ty since he went to live with Celia and I was so happy to see him so calm and relaxed, ridden in his halter with not a worry in the world. Oh, and thank you to Celia for a delicious lunch to finish the day off.
