Thank you so much!. She has come 10,000 miles. People always say 'oh me and my horse on our journey' but me and her really have travelled. She was explosive, vicious, unpredictable and didn't have a clue about the simplest things like…

I'm so pleased for your mare. I really appreciate it when anyone working with my horse treats him like he's there rather then just walking up to them and working on them like they are a piece of furniture with no feelings or opinions about…

I agree with Jackie on this Cyndi.  I've had to change my farriers, more than once, because my mare just didn't like them. Glad things worked out for you.

Hi Ellen,   I have a specific question about loading.  I have a mare who has in the past exhibited much of the same language as Boldina, and so I'm trying to retrain her once and for all so that she can be comfortable being…

I just sent a YouTube video of my horse and myself. I did five other videos the same day that you can view from you tube when you go to the link I just sent you. I don'T usually allow him to play so silly but we were having so much fun that I let him go a little extra. Hope to hear back from you.

Hi Ellen

Thanks for the link on my page :-)

Some how the clip is removed from barnmice, and I was not abel to see it.....but as clever as I am LOL....I searched the title on youtube, and I think I found it!!

Keeping Your Horse Balanced with Richard Winters Horsemanship

 

After having attended your clinics; its funny to see&hear how people make explanations that does not "stick with the truth". The horse in this clip is simply reakting to his (the trainers) bodylanguage....and it has nothing to do with the "eye"!

As I see it now, the trainer is actually teaching the horse to not respond to "natural bodylanguage-communication".....?!

What do you think of it?

(And som how now you also made me write in english ;-)

I just visited your website. Wow! I had no idea you were such an accomplished trainer. I probably wouldn't have so boldly sent you my original message had I known (I'm a rather shy person and would've been too intimidated). Your videos appear to be great learning tools, especially when you work with people and their horses and show their progress. I've bookmarked your site, so maybe someday I will order a couple of your videos.
