21.01.2022 Everything is connected and influenced by one another in the horse's body. No hoof, ho horse; poor teeth or poor dentistry a chain reaction through the body.
13.01.2022 (71) We gather all of our intelligence in our brains, but we don’t trust it in our bodies. Yes, we can use the mind as our voice speaking to the horse, but only... if we use the body as an ear to listen to what the horse hears us saying. Then, it turns into a beautiful conversation and exchange of ideas, and the horse can teach you how it likes to be ridden. And this is the gift: once we move into the heart-space of respecting a horse’s sentience, they begin to teach us a lot about healthy growth, because all we then are able to do with them is listen. If we take behavior as language, when they are calm and relaxed we know we’ve done something right. When they’re spooky and anxious, something must be changed. Peace is the horse’s true nature, and if we don’t have that while working them then something is not correct. And here is the beauty of horses: when we come to them with an open heart, and respect for their intelligence they lead us to a place where we find the courage to be better people. and for me, personally, realizing that my horses are making a choice to allow me into their pain, and to trust me to hold their pain in my hands and help them unlock itthat is the world. Dressage is medicine for horses when it’s not a bad circus act. Horses don’t break down when the work is correct. And if they are broken down, if we can get them in to a place of correct work, and they want to, they heal.
12.01.2022 So often I have seen horse who travel incorrectly and the ramifications to their overall health and riding life can be catastrophic. This is a great explanation of how the horse should travel and what goes on in its body when we pick up the reins, ask for bend and travel on a circle.
10.01.2022 THE FRONTAL LOBE OF THE HORSE’S BRAIN IS NEARLY NON-EXISTENT. How does this apply to schooling/training? Frontal lobes are involved in higher mental functions s...uch as reasoning. This means that horses cannot reason or plan to be naughty. They cannot be blamed for bad behavior or poor performance. They cannot recognize future consequences. Horses simply react to the situation. They learn through conditioning and memory. I see and hear so many riders anthropomorphize their horses instead of finding better training tools. Phrases such as, ‘he just likes to be difficult’ or ‘this pony is so naughty’ or ‘he understands or knows what I want, but won’t do it’, or ‘he moves his hindquarters at every halt just to irritate me’. Horses do not know what we want unless we explain it in a manner that they can understand immediately. A few months ago a rider told me how her horse ‘just does not want to co-operate’. It started with overt flight behavior and then became a subtle ‘snatchy’ movement of the nose. I asked her whether it could be due to discomfort. She answered, ‘no, she is just naughty’. It turned out that the horse was suffering from laminitis and was in severe discomfort! It made me want to cry. At the moment I am training a young horse from scratch. I also used phrases such as, ‘she has a short fuse’ and ‘she challenges me every step of the way’. Then I realized that everything I was doing on this horse was completely new to her. I realized how frightening that must be for an animal with no reasoning ability. She was actually trying hard to understand me, but when new instructions were a tad confusing, she showed me in no uncertain terms that she did not understand it. The horse’s reactions to learning new skills all depends on personality. This particular horse is extremely sensitive and an introvert. Utopia, my older horse, is less sensitive and a complete extrovert. She can deal with much more pressure than the youngster. The message for me is that I must train each horse with the kind of pressure which they can deal with. Each horse has a different tolerance for pressure. Us riders have to be adaptable to each horse’s ability to deal with pressure. Personally I find that most behavioral problems stem from confusion, discomfort and too much pressure.

05.01.2022 A great illustration of how a horse is knocked off balance by using the inside rein to turn/bend. The right is correct, as the horse is turning with both should...ers, the left horse has been knocked over his outside shoulder, and will fight for his balance beneath the rider by allowing his haunches to fall in.
