Welcome Jana, your photos are lovely!! :)

I love your training videos! Maybe you'll write a blog explaining some of your training ideas? Have a great day!

Really, where in Canada? When are you coming here?

Thank you Jana. I look foreward to seeing your video. Do you teach other movements from the ground as well? I am starting to work with a 17.2h 5yrols TB Geilding that has done nothing more than be led, crosstied, groomed, saddled and blanketed!! He is a nice guy...but has spent all his years out with a herd and in his stall at night. Have you dealt with breaking older horses? Any tips?

Oh, Simone Williams! That's very nice!!

Hi..paddock VERY big. No way to run..he get away!! Also very muddy right now. I do know John Lyons and Monty Roberts and some Parelli methods. I think I will need to get him into roundpen?? He is timid. I MUST do groundwork. Thanks Jana

I've met her a couple of times, and think she would probably recognize my name. She is very well known and is considered a very good rider and a nice person.

Hi Jana. It's Amanda. I have a question. Before I try to work my big horse (5yr unbroke 17.2h) I let him run around till he is more tired before I try to work with him. Do you agree this is right ...or should I take him to the arena and make him listen to me right away. He would be very difficult to work with if he doesn't run about first. I will roundpen him soon....but I will have to run him loose in the arena first as he twists a lot when he bucks and I am afraid he will put a leg through the round pen fence and break It!!!

Thanks Jana...you in Canada now???

Welcome!!! Hope you had a good flight and you like the stables. (It looks very nice!). You will miss your horses at home? It would be nice to meet you ...but you are quite far from where I live. However...if you are planning a visit to see Toronto.(my mom and son live there..and I used to )..it is an hour away and you (and some new friends?) and myself and some friends could get together and talk horse. Just let me know. I am away on vacation between July 17th and July 27th...but any other time if you would like.

I'm at Oakcrest Farms. You can try them at www.oakcrest.ca

Hi Jana, nice to hear from you. Sorry you are not getting to ride a lot. That must be difficult as you probably ride a lot at home? Yes, not stables does groundwork. I think probably more groundwork, other than longing and long reining, is done in Europe. A percentage of people do Natural Horsemanship....mainly "games with your horse" more than "classical groundwork". Are you doing studying at the Canadian barn for a certification? or just visiting friends in the industry?Your English is good!! :-)..after all you speak another language and that ie great! I only speak English :-(
