22.01.2022 Horse-people mostly think about horses from a humanistic perspective. The use of derogatory terms such as 'nasty', 'stubborn' or 'lazy' and the emphasis on the ...horse's 'attitude' can blur training so that when training doesn't work we excuse ourselves by blaming the horse. Such terms imply the horse is 'born that way' and will never change. While horses vary in their genetic tendencies to behave in particular ways, these characteristics have significant learned components and can, therefore, be unlearned or suppressed, and better still avoided. Humanistic terms disempower us as trainers because they provide no useful answers for retraining the 'problem' or difficult horse. Worse, they lead to beliefs that place unfair expectations on the horse and often create further conflict through punishments and incorrect reinforcement strategies that are beyond the horse's mental abilities. More horses would succeed to higher levels and fewer would be wasted if training were more closely aligned with the horse's learning capabilities from the start; prevention is always better than cure. Furthermore, learning can be accelerated in all horses to optimal levels when trainers fully understand what they are doing beyond 'second nature' functional abilities. It is every horse-person's responsibility to understand the horse as completely as possible. Evidence-based horse training is our way to protect the welfare of the horse. Deep dive into this matter with our Academic Horse Training book: https://www.esi-education.com/prod/academic-horse-training/ (Excerpt from the 'Academic Horse Training' book, p. 9)

15.01.2022 Today is National Agriculture Day! There is nothing better than being able to ride the horses around the farm and expose them to lots of weird and wonderful things. I believe in cross training and finding new and exciting exercises to keep the horses switched on mentally. Dave loves his Australian Grown flag #agdayau #nationalagricultureday #radforddressage
14.01.2022 Is Boy having twins or triplets? Fair to say he’s still going strong, although he may have had a bit too much fun over his break over indulging #radforddressage #coach #boy #lessonpony
12.01.2022 Well Dave is growing up! Last weekend he competed in his first Medium 4A for 64%! Also a 66.5% in the 3B. So proud of him and how he is developing into a lovely dressage horse. Always lots to improve on, a clean change one way but not the other, and the always loved walk pirouettes and rein back Onwards and upwards as we continue to consolidate at this level. So nice to be back out and about. We enjoyed adding some pink to our attire to help the NW Zone raise money for Brea...st Cancer research! Thank you Belinda for letting me steal your pink gear Also another scary thing happened and I did my first offical judging as a G level judge! We made it through and now to keep doing more to get more confident. Once you become a judge you definitely have more respect for the judges and what a tough job it is! Thank you to the NW Zone for a lovely day! As always thank you to my sponsors, supporters, friends and family for your ongoing support. Here’s a little video of some of the tests #radforddressage #dave #mscocktail #rocktapeaus

10.01.2022 http:// Friday Fact - Troubleshooting the go-response // If the horse is persistently poor in his go-response, practise bigger transitions such as halt to trot, whic...h requires a slightly stronger leg aid (so the horse can discriminate between halt/walk and halt/trot). For example, if he is sluggish in the walk, with dull ears, or if he is looking around with constantly pricked ears or ears back, or anytime you feel you are gripping with your legs, trot for a few strides (releasing leg pressure) then bring him back to walk and repeat the transition as soon as 'go' deteriorates. Alternatively, reinforce your light leg aid with two whip-taps. In doing this, ensure that the horse has acquired the correct response to the whip-taps (i.e. he doesn't kick out, become tense or delay his response). This entails training the horse to 'go' from the whip-tap alone. If obedience fails in trot, use the same structure as above: light leg(s) aid, then stronger squeeze within 1 1/2 steps of forelegs. Then use the reins to return to the earlier gait or tempo and repeat. Practise until an immediate response emerges from a light aid. (Excerpt of the book 'Academic Horse Training', p. 150)

03.01.2022 How special is this! Ethan, a lovely young man who I have had the pleasure of teaching for quite a while now and his new steed Zeus. Bonding and growing confidence together through groundwork. Groundwork is such a under utilised tool. Having completed my Diploma of Equitation Science through @esi_trainer_coach I have such an appreciation for it and it’s importance #radforddressage #equitationscience #coach #youngrider #groundwork #dressage

01.01.2022 Well 2020... what a year! Although not the year we had planned we still had a great year and were thankful to be here in little Tassie. Dave stepped up this year going from novice to medium level and is working towards Medium for our state championships in March. Although no Nationals this year we have been able to keep training and will hopefully get there next year.... To all of my amazing students and clients thank you for supporting me and letting me be apart of your journeys. You have all come so far this year and I am so proud of each and everyone of you. To my Freestyle clients thank you for allowing me to create some wonderful pieces for you! A huge thank you to my sponsors, supporters, family and friends. Lets see what goals we can smash in 2021! #radforddressage
