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.…

Adjusting Your Leadership to Keep Attention

If you can keep adjusting your leadership to be more dependable, flexible, understanding and intelligent, the horse is more willing to form a loyal partnership and put a greater effort into his performance. The biggest mistake people make in their relationship and communication with horses is to not understand that the development of leadership with horses should be spent in managing the connection, bond and trust through…

Equitable Partnerships through Leadership

If you lead your horse in the moment and he feels a companionship connection, it inspires him to follow your lead like music inspires a dancer to dance. I have focused my life on figuring out how to get a horse to accept my friendship and for it to be as strong as the friendship he shares with other horses. From studying herd behavior, I have gained this connection by getting a horse to accept me as a family member and trusted…

Leadership with Horses is not about Self-Serving

My first lesson on leadership was when I was a little girl and was taught to me by a lizard.

In the olden days, the milk cartons had little tabs that you pulled up and made a little tiny hole in the corner of, so that when you turned it over, it would pour. It kind of made a…

Bomb Proofing Horses… or Not

I have never spent much time bomb proofing horses because with the Waterhole Rituals™ I provide a horse a feeling of safety in my charge and they follow my lead without question because of the relationship I have establish with them. Before you consider bomb proofing a horse, I would advise you to…

Telepathy with your Horse

Art of Energetic Connection

I find that a very important connection I have with horses comes from the subtleties and energy that we share back and forth. For example, how I choose to connect each time I have been away from my horse. I might choose to be focused on him…

Fluidity not Formulas is the Key to Connecting with Horses

I am not against formulas and lessons in the training of horses and people. I am only against them when they are the only way you go about communicating and training horses.

Following formulas…

Deepening the Connection – Part Two

We must spend more time walking in the shoes of our horses to realize how we can bring a better quality of life to our equine friend. Through the process of finding a better quality of life for our horses can we find a higher consciousness and a better quality of life for ourselves.

I want people to love horses because of their spirit, depth of character and the magnetic connection we share with them rather than the service we expect from them. What stands in the way of… Continue

Building Equestrian Connection

This article is for those people who enjoy increasing their connection, performance and horsemanship from the direct experiences they share with their horses. If you don’t have a good relationship with your horse, all you need to do is change your viewpoint, step back and start at the beginning.

1. Do what you can do

2. Stay away from what you cannot do

3. Build on what you can do in each moment

4. If you hit resistance, change to a program that builds back… Continue

Learning From Horses

My family instilled in me that dogs learn fast, horses can too, and most animals seem to learn faster than humans. It was this idea that caused me when I was a child to understand that I needed to develop my ability to learn from horses so I could be on par with them.

Both sides of my family were horse lovers. The big joke in my family is that they were bound and determined to raise me to have an interest in horses, as if they could have stopped me. It is hard to say if… Continue

More on Stallions and Connection

Right, we were talking about stallions and that they can be difficult to handle, especially if they feel you don’t respect them or you try to lower their position. Instead of fighting with a stallion to gain control after the bond and respect have been established it is best to put them to a task that brings connection like the Uberstreichen exercises or ask for something you know would bring back his focus, which in turn will bring connection. Sometimes all that is necessary is… Continue

How Mares, Geldings and Stallions Communicate

Today I would like to talk to you a little about mares, geldings and stallions and how they respond differently when communicating with us.

Mares can be moody. In these periods I find that if I take the time to connect with them slowly in the beginning before riding or training on the days they are moody, they will come around and forget…

Nature Helps in Bonding with Horses

Horses prefer being with horses in the wild. The carrot of freedom and self direction and community of the herd is stronger than anything that people have to offer so to develop your bond of trust with your horse, rather than getting the horse to join you, why don’t you focus on joining…

Proven Fact: Horses Pick up Tricks and Moves by Watching!

I was reading an article the other day about some scientists that were figuring out whether horses learned through watching or not and I found it fascinating that they came up with the idea that horses do not learn by watching other horses. It’s just so silly that they don’t know that they do!

When I went to Verde Valley School, aged 14 years, I took my three year old Arab horse with me so I would have a horse to ride. I wanted to show her but there weren’t any horse… Continue

Help Wanted!

Hi again. I announced on my own blog a couple of weeks ago that I was looking for someone to be ‘my voice’ for the podcasts I'd like to put on iTunes. Well, I was just overwhelmed with the number of responses I received, it was very humbling.

With so many people volunteering, the question then was, how do I decide who should do it? We thought about holding a competition and having elimination rounds like they do on that TV show American Idol but that didn’t seem fair. So… Continue
