Natural Horsemanship Solutions: Stop Being Pushy!

Stop Being Pushy

Horses that are pushy can be very frustrating to be around. Pushiness can range from horses that seem to just persistently search for treats in your pockets, to horses that will actually bite you or seemingly walk through you like you are nothing.…

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…

An Ex-racer, and the very long road to recovery

So at my barn there is this tall thin TB ex-racer, 17.3 hands, copper bay. We call her Miley.

Miley is 6 years old. She ran one race before being sold to an owner that longed her before every ride, which about once a month if that. She said she used Miley as a trail horse. Eventually her owner decided this young spirited horse was to much for her, and my trainer took Miley in in hopes to help Miley become the wonderful horse she has the potential to be.

Right now Miley is…

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

Highly effective and positive foal training for the lazy

I want to share with you my way of getting a foal comfortable with humans. I don't believe in imprint training (meaning handling the foal right after birth) for several reasons; one of them being that it's not the most effective. Studies, both official and my own, has shown that the best way to get a foal confident with people is to kiss up to mommy and let the her show the foal that people are great. Being willing to wait just a little bit is a fantastic shortcut!

If you have a foal… 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

William Micklem says FACE THE CHALLENGE WITH A PARTNER

I have a new challenge and a new partner. A six year old gelding who is not very happy. I use the word ‘challenge’ deliberately, not because I am thinking of going into battle but because it focuses my mind on what I need to do in a positive way. ‘Challenge’ is an effective word in the same way that ‘problem’ is not effective. Obviously it is so much more positive and…

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
