I completely believe in establishing levels of trust and respect on the ground. I've had my thorughbred/clyde cross for almost a month now and discover new levels of comfort we are both feeling from groundwork in the arena, grooming and hanging out together in his stall. I feel it SO important to get to know each other :)

Hi Cindy,
Wow! Thank you! I have to get back to blogging, as I have now found more direction with the help of a man called Paul Hunting, who wrote a book called Why Talk to a Guru when you can Whisper to a Horse? (His website is www.horsejoy.com). Thank you also for sharing more about yourself as well. My dream, simillar to yours will be to one day have a place where I can have horses poking their heads through the kitchen window! I think I have a long way to go before I can buy such a property tho...looking into grants at the moment!

The true horseperson must be true, honest and present themselves before they can build a true and honest relationship with their horse!

I think a horse needs the time with an owner when the owner is not just going up and throwing a saddle on them and expecting the horse to work. These days we are all more aware about good leadership and mutual respect and trust with the horse. This is best established on the ground I think. Gail.

love just spending time with my boy, brushing him, letting him graze, talking to him. Once the barn managers husband once said I was crazy that I spend so much time with him, even in the freezing cold, why don't I go home, because I would be out there for 6 or more hours.
She told him to leave me alone, that I love to spend time with him and we are bonding. I do not have to be riding, just love being there.
He knows me now and whinnys when I come to see him, it makes you feel so good to hear that.

The trainers that I am working with right now online and in videos are.... Gawani Ponyboy and Chris Irwon... I've studied with my trainer, steveboyleshorsemanship.com, and Chris Cox... the others haven't been my favorites, but I've studied a little bit about everyone.. I knew from the get go I'd never be a controlling person so my goal has always been to blend in and mix with my horses.... I am the alpha, but I learned recently that I need to be just one step above my horse and he's a 4..... very gentle and docile so I only need to exert a little pressure to get my way....
