A Bit About Me and my Horse(s)
Hi and thanks for dropping by,
I'm here to help you learn to comunicate, understand and learn from horses, and discover more about who you really are along the way.

I came to horses through a conventional path, (pull the reins back and your pony will stop, kick it and it walks forward) yet have discovered there is so much more to it. I have learnt from people like Monty Roberts, Pat Parelli, and Klaus Ferdinand Hempfling about natural horsemanship. Nevertheless my greatest teachers are undoubtedly the horses I have worked with, as they have given me lessons not only about how to comunicate with them, but how to comunicate with other people, how to overcome my fears and build my confidence, and most recently how the lessons horses have taught me can relate to improving buisnesses!

I would love to share what I have learnt with you, and through online comunication hopefully learn more from you by the questions you may wish to ask!

Kind regards,
Gabrielle

Do you have any pets?
My beautiful 9yr dutch rabbit called Star! Who used to show jump because I was that mad on ponies that I figured why not train a rabbit to do the same!

    Your welcome!
    I do in a way...The Heartland book series kind of got me into it!
    I worked with a pony at my barn because the owner was upset that it didn't get enough work then always bucked off lesson kids. I didn't really have time to ride him so I did A LOT of ground work and bareback bridleless stuff on him. I taught him how to free lunge w/t/c with voice commands, I had to teach him with a whip and line though...never hit him of course! I taught him to follow me and spin, and do turn on forhand/huanches. All without even a halter on. I worked him with tarps and free jumping too. He is great for bareback bridleless work though...I can jump him that way now. I taught him how to stand without the use of crossties and could brush/tack up in a ring or feild!
    I really loved working with him that way! He always nickers at me and I had a great time doing free lunging..no other horses at the barn could free lunge WITH actaull transitions! He would always come in the centre with me after! I felt that he was really working for me because he wanted to...It was great!
    I still ride him now because I moved up from the pony I was riding when I didn't have time for him. He is a great little jumper and I have sooo much fun riding him all the time! He does love to buck though so it keeps our rides interesting for me and those watching! He really is a god boy now...
    I recently was asked to train a TB filly...I'm trying to do stuff like that with her too. She isn't catching on as quck though! I'm trying to use horsemanship with her too It's just such as nice feeling you get when you get them horse/pony going well fro you in the end and you didn't ahve to force it!
