25.01.2022 Great read. Don't rush them.

25.01.2022 Checking out some newbies this morning

25.01.2022 Well worth reading. Take things slow, & not too young .

25.01.2022 So, with no rein chains jingling, no silver blazing in the sun, the hackamore man quietly takes his place in the long silent line of bridle horsemen before him.... From this point on, it will be the buckaroos job to melt into the background and polish instead the horse beneath him. All look for the transition in the horse as he advances through the hackamore but the real change is etched in the heart of the man who rides upon his back.

24.01.2022 Thats how it is. Means more to the horse than most people know.

23.01.2022 Welcome to CDWPA!

23.01.2022 Unfortunately this sort of thing goes on. Be careful where you send your horse.

23.01.2022 Check this out. Next level.

22.01.2022 Made some rides on this welsh D mare in the last few days. A couple rides in round pen, then outside. Accepting things pretty well. She is for sale by owner.

22.01.2022 Gathered up & steady. Nice to watch.

22.01.2022 Headgear & hands. Dont know this man but very good explanation. Worth the watch. Some is an advert for Horse TV towards the end.

22.01.2022 This guy is just 10 weeks old. Should make a good size. Mare is 16 hands.

21.01.2022 Think about it from the horses perspective.

21.01.2022 Great weekend at Coffs Coast Cowboy Dressage. Thanks to Tanja Kraus & Phil Monaghan for organising this show. Also thank you to Kathy Faulkner for judging & all the helpers who kept things running. Great job guys. Very pleased with this horse in just our third show. One black ribbon was for Soft Feel High Point, which was a tie with Damian Hall, (well done Mate), on a long countback.

20.01.2022 In April 2017 I started this Irish mare for Laura & put 12 rides on her. In July '18 brought her back in & rode her another maybe 15 times including a cowboy dressage training day at Inverell. Fast forward to end of April 2020 stepped on felt like I just rode her the previous week. Very pleased the way she came back in both times with no trouble in there. Certainly not her fault she had no work in between.

15.01.2022 Heres "Luka" came to us as a weanling. Nearly 3 & half yo now. Had time to get some rides on him in the last couple weeks. Very pleased with his progress. Pictures day 1 & day 12.

15.01.2022 This is a nice ride

13.01.2022 This is so true, you can never do enough of the basics.

13.01.2022 Excellent. Calm & steady.

13.01.2022 This is why you dont leave halters on horses.

11.01.2022 Great words spoken by Buck Brannaman, well worth reading.

09.01.2022 Laura introduced me to this breed. Her mare is 3/4 ID

09.01.2022 Both of the Welsh ponies Lottie and Izzy have now got lovely new homes. Nice to see them get such great homes and be loved and enjoyed as they deserve, they have been great ponies to have around and be started under saddle.

09.01.2022 We are holding an "Introduction to Cowboy Dressage" in Narrabri early June. Contact Tracey for details....

07.01.2022 THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS A HORSE WHISPERER. There never has been and never will be. The idea is an affront to the horse. You can talk and listen to horses all ...you want, and what you will learn, if you pay close attention, is that they live on open ground way beyond language and that language, no matter how you characterize it, is a poor trope for what horses understand about themselves and about humans. You need to practice only three things, patience, observation and humility, all of which were summed up in the life of an old man who died Tuesday (July 20, 1999) in California, a man named Bill Dorrance. Dorrance was 93, and until only a few months before his death he still rode and he still roped. He was one of a handful of men, including his brother Tom, who in separate ways have helped redefine relations between the horse and the human. Bill Dorrance saw that subtlety was nearly always a more effective tool than force, but he realized that subtlety was a hard tool to exercise if you believe, as most people do, that you are superior to the horse. There was no dominance in the way Dorrance rode, or in what he taught, only partnership. To the exalted horsemanship of the vaquero -- the Spanish cowboy of 18th-century California -- he brought an exalted humanity, whose highest expression is faith in the willingness of the horse. There is no codifying what Bill Dorrance knew. Some of it, like how to braid a rawhide lariat, is relatively easy to teach, and some of it, thanks to the individuality of horses and humans, cannot be taught at all, only learned. His legacy is exceedingly complex and, in a sense, self-annulling. It is an internal legacy. The more a horseman says he has learned from Dorrance the less likely he is to have learned anything at all. That sounds oblique, but it reflects the fact that what you could learn from Dorrance was a manner of learning whose subject was nominally the horse but that extended itself in surprising directions to include dogs, cattle and people. If you learned it, you would know it was nothing to boast about. There is no mysticism, no magic, in this, only the recognition of kinship with horses. Plenty of people have come across Bill Dorrance and borrowed an insight or two, and some have made a lot of money by popularizing what they seemed to think he knew. But what he knew will never be popular, nor did he ever make much money from it. You cannot sell modesty or undying curiosity. It is hard to put a price on accepting that everything you think you know about horses may change with the very next horse.

06.01.2022 Some myths busted.

05.01.2022 Headgear & hands. Don't know this man but very good explanation. Worth the watch. Some is an advert for Horse TV towards the end.

05.01.2022 If you can't get it in a simple snaffle, changing bits is not the answer.

05.01.2022 Izzy Welsh sec D headed out with Tony riding Luka

04.01.2022 That's how it is. Means more to the horse than most people know.
