21.01.2022 Thought for the day: We all have choices. We can be a follower, or a leader, or just stay out of the way. (an old military saying) Horses without a leader will ...choose the latter. They want, by nature, to be a follower but only to someone who proves they are a leader. This doesnt mean a bully but someone who can adjust to suit their needs. We may need to show comfort or be a little more assertive to find that balance. Remember that their needs and wants are not necessarily the same things. Remember that our needs and wants are not necessarily the same thing. A leader will be able to determine which are needs and which are wants at any given moment. After a time of consistency the needs and wants of the leader and the follower will become the same. Both the leader and the follower will be comfortable with that. See more

17.01.2022 Spice about 7 weeks away from her due date. In foal to Lynx Little Commando, her 3rd to him, her 5th for us.

16.01.2022 Thought for the day: The most common cause of issues between a horse and rider under saddle is what I call "preventative riding" . Preventative riding is what a... rider is doing when they spend more time trying to stop the horse from doing things than directing him or allowing him to do things. If you ride in a preventative manner by holding onto your horse with your reins and legs in order to control it or prevent it from going too fast or from veering off-course or from bucking or any other manner of unwanted behavior you are most likely causing the behavior that you are frightened of. Riding like this causes your horse to feel trapped and vulnerable which creates panic. Riding like this causes riders to be stiff and un-balanced and to hunch up when the horse panics. This in turn greatly increases the chances of falling off. There are horses around that deal with this type of riding but they do so because they are dull or desensitized to it or are just working in a state of learned helplessness. You cant have feel when you use your reins like a set of handle bars or a brake lever. Riding properly into the bridle on an engaged horse has nothing to do with anything I have written above. All horses need to learn to go on a loose rein also. There is so much rhetoric thrown around, about getting a horse to trust you, but "trusting your horse" is probably the biggest step you must take toward this. If safety is your main concern then you need help to learn that safety comes from keeping your horse from feeling trapped, learning to balance, learning to teach your horse how to take direction and learning that the horses energy comes from from your energy. You may want the fancy stuff or just a safe horse but learning not to be a preventative rider is the only way forward. This is walking before you can run. It cant be over done. Self control is the most important type of control there is when riding. The picture is a group of great people working on this at one of our clinics.

16.01.2022 4 am on the 25th of oct and we have the very first sign that Spice is waxing up. Dont know if shes going to hold for her due date of the 12th. Anyone care to guess date, colour and sex when it arrives? Her last 2, full siblings to this one, were both colts, 1 chocolate brown/greying out, the other chestnut. Sire is bay, dam is chocolate brown that greyed out.

15.01.2022 Thought for the day: Some may find this confronting. Becoming a proficient horseman or woman relies on more than just learning a process or method. Horsemanship... cannot be a production line step by step "learn by wrote","this is how you do it" and "this is the end result" structured set of elementary techniques. The outcome of our work may need to be a common goal but how we get there is the great variable. The fact is that what one horse may need another may not. Horses have different sensitivity levels, past experiences and backgrounds. The instinctual levels of how they respond to certain ideas and pressures put forward by us (either with purpose or unwittingly) make it impossible to achieve a consistent result without changing our approach to suit each and every moment or response. In a perfect world we could practice a regimented set of techniques and become consistently proficient trainers in a relatively short time. Whilst this sounds attractive and may gain a person some moderate successes with a horse or two only mixing things up and making changes will guarantee you positive results overall. Every time we work with another horse we must learn about that horse first and work accordingly. As we gain experience (how long depends on your exposure over time) our ability to learn about each horse will advance. See more

14.01.2022 What a run by Joshua Rushing of Missouri and his horse Buster in todays second round of Calgary Stampedes Cowboy Up Challenge! See the winning run here.

12.01.2022 Thought for the day: Following on from yesterdays thoughts. Riding on a rein that is only just loose is not like riding on a rein that is completely loose.... In many cases it causes the horse to brace its self and reach out looking for the bit so that it can protect itself from it or push on it. Its more like threatening your horse with it than giving it a release especially if you have your hands locked down near its wither. They mostly cant truly relax with this threat so close. they know they dont have enough rein to relax their neck and put their head down a little. They know more about what they can and cant do with a certain rein length than we ever will. Its attached to their mouth or head. Think about it, its like holding a cocked pistol to ones head. A hard circumstance for real relaxation. Teach your horse to properly deal with the trapped feeling by being soft into the bridle or to go on a completely loose rein. Riding between the two might make you feel more confident but it ruins your horses confidence.

12.01.2022 Thought for the day: Energy is required to have our horse do anything well. Without energy our horse cant even stop well. Some people say their horse is lazy ...but its amazing with a little effort how that can disappear. The best way to create energy is to reduce resistance. Your horse should move freely and without resistance even at a walk. Resistance is not just about how your horse moves but its resistance to the bridle resistance to our legs resistance in its lateral softness and resistance in its ability to be responsible for maintaining a pace. Resistance kills the beauty in a horses movement. Resistance is caused by a lack of ability to relax our horse and help it understand how it should operate. Trying to force a horse to do our bidding creates resistance. Letting the horse invent ways of responding to our requests reduces resistance. Resistance has nothing to do with the size or type of horse but how its mind responds to what we are trying to achieve and how we are trying to achieve it. See more

10.01.2022 Paralna horses doing their thing with my girls. temperment plus :)

09.01.2022 Thought for the day: Feel. The whole deal.... Horses pick up on how you conduct yourself. They might worry about things at first or be in a habit of ignoring you or testing where you and they stand in the scheme of things. If you are making progress then it wont be long and they will look at how you are and how you feel and act accordingly. Just your presence and attitude make a difference. Confidence and relaxation in your movements and bearing stand out as major positives. Negatives can be tentativeness, fear, an over bearing presence, frustration, laziness or hyper activeness and the list goes on. The point here is that how you are, not just your body language or your voice and much more is no mystery to a horse. Being able to read this in each other and other species is as clear to horses as talking is to us. Older relaxed, confident horses can ignore what they are reading to a degree but how we are is so important to young or unsure or fearful horses. Does our horse want to work with us or is he just tolerating us or does he feel like he would rather be somewhere else? When I read about training methods or learning theory or scientific ideas or behaviour modification or training scales etc I believe they mostly miss out the most important thing. They talk about processes and body language even or how horses might be habituated or coerced. They talk about deleting unwanted responses or re-enforcing wanted behaviour but its much deeper than that. Feel. Its not just what the horse feels its how he sees you feel. We can change how a horse acts and feels so much just by the way we are.

06.01.2022 First reining practice for Paralna Wildcat. Took it all in her stride.

05.01.2022 Thought for the day: Sometimes taking a long time to teach something is not in the horses best interests. There are some things that should not be half taught b...ecause by half teaching it we have not really made a change. The problem is that by half teaching it we have set the horse up to learn more ways of not achieving something. Im not talking about progressive things like manoeuvres but life skills. How to not run over us or pull away cannot be half taught. "Taking the time it takes" is a good policy when bringing a horse along but often it can be an excuse for not making progress with important starting places. If youre not making progress with some of these things you are probably in need of some help. "Take the time it takes to take away the conflict in the horses life in one session." (You do not have to run a horse or fight with it to do this) The next most important thing after that is maintaining the change by being consistent. A trainer can help make a change in your horse but what takes time is forming a habit. The phenomenal and cool thing about making these changes (sometimes getting a change in the types of behaviour I am talking about is quite a job) is that if you do it well a horse will not hold it against you. I find that once I have worked through it the horse actually relaxes and likes me more. Its like someone has helped him by taking the conflict out of his life. Until this is achieved we really cant effectively teach the things that they learn over time. See more

04.01.2022 The problem with horse training is that society is set up to believe that you can buy a service and have things the way you want in a certain time frame. People... look at horse training as if theyre spending their money on a product. And yet even the best horse trainers will tell you the horse takes its own time, and no one can guarantee a horse will be doing what you want from it when you want from it. The other problem is that even if your trainer can get t done with your horse, it doesnt necessarily mean that you will be able to. Getting a horse right takes an amount of commitment on the owners part to develop the same type of relationship that the trainer has, otherwise how can you expect from your horse for yourself what your trainer gets, when its they who have put in the hours, the sweat, the patience and the desire to get Along with that horse? You arent spending money on a tune up for your car that you can take home and drive. The fact that money is involved leads people to believe they deserve something for what they paid, and they do, but, it happens in the animals time, not the humans. I think any good trainer would say they would do this for free if they could, just to help horses and people. And yet, we all have to eat. -words by Amy Skinner Photo is of Ray Hunt. See more

01.01.2022 Thought for the day: A horse has no responsibility to understand us. We have a huge responsibility to understand him so that we can help him learn how to understand us.
