But I…

Bond Between Horse & Human!! Re: Grandma Teddy

This is a story I love to tell...and even though it happened 6 years ago now...my eyes still water when I think of it. Six years ago now Mom underwent triple by-pass and aortic valve replacement surgery. When my brother, sister, and I saw her in recovery right after the surgery at about 6:00 in the evening we thought she didn't look too bad considering her age..80...and what she had just been through.

The Importance of a Flexible Leadership Style

Connection is a two way street. To truly get along with a horse in shared partnership we need to have social leadership skills. If we can keep adjusting our leadership style to be more flexible, understanding and intelligent, the horse is more willing to form a loyal partnership and put greater effort into his performance. It’s all about being present in the moment and fully awake and knowing exactly what to ask a horse to do that…

Creating Attentive Partnerships

Previously I was talking about horsemanship, trust and connection, which led me to ask the question about what you would like your partner to be like. Now the reason I asked this was, and this is going to sound a bit out of place, but a horse wants to be treated like a woman wants to be treated.…
