Teaching some shoulder-in with Miss Honey. We are both learning the best angle and bend to have. So, lots of little adjustments and it is improving.

Grace starting some more riding preparation after a muscle tear on her hind leg delayed us a few months. In this video I am reinforcing standing calmly whilst I am above and leaning over her. Also building some future rein aids.

This may look like a boring float training video, but this is huge for Honey. She has a lot of fear of being shut in the float. She also recently had to be forced into the float under sedation to evavcuate from the fires. Rebuilding this loading behaviour has been helped by Abbey's Run Equestrian. And allowing Honey to cue me when she wants to float train has also been a big change. She tells me by standing on the tail gate. This choice of the float works whilst the float is in her track/paddock. When she chooses to play the float loading game she is more relaxed. The game is for her to walk on and then get clicked and reinforced with food in the bucket whilst I stand behind her off the float.

Tracks are great to ride around.

Sarah is a great trainer. If you have a young horse to strart and want to learn more yourself then this is a great option.

Raked the arena and then set up a reverse round pen to start using with Grace and Della But as you can see there are only human footprints so far.

Back home after a 2 week holiday. Feels so good to be home and to have picked up Honey. She was evacuated along with the other horses when the Longwood fire was too close for comfort and we were warned to act. Honey does not find float travel reinforcing at all!! And without me to support her I decided to arrange for the vet to sedate her to load and travel. She stayed with a local person in Mansfield who has a track system. So that was incredibly helpful as Honey is insulin resistant. But it was all very stressful. Did I say it was good to be home!!

This is a great offer and one which will help horses after the fires. Thanks Abbey's Run Equestrian

Buy our 'Prioritise Your Training' short, self-paced course THIS WEEK and we will DONATE HALF YOUR COURSE PAYMENT to support fire-affected horse & other animal owners.

Now the risk has all but passed for us (if you don't know, we're in North-east Victoria, closest to the Longwood fires, with the Walwa fires to the NE of us), we have done a quick think this morning about what we can do through Abbey's Run Equestrian to mobilise support for those who have been impacted.

Once purchased, you have access to 'Prioritise Your Training' for the lifetime of the course. You don't need to start or complete it now - you can come back to it in a week, month or year. Purchasing NOW will enable your purchase to help support fire-affected communities.

This opportunity runs from TODAY (11/1/26) until the end of Saturday 17 January.

Not only will you be supporting fire-affected horse & other animal owners, you will also be able to get your own training priorities with your horse (or dog, or cat, or parrot, or other animal) very clear so that you're able to make efficient & effective progress, wherever you're at.

Prioritise Your Training costs $65 AUD.
$32.50 AUD from your purchase will be donated.

If you've been eyeing off this course, now's the time to purchase to make the most impact. We will be doing a daily transfer of funds from your course purchases across to the reputable organisations who are organising collections, transport & delivery.

Details & where to purchase in the comments.

If you know anyone that experiences overwhelm in what to train with their horse or other animal and who would like to support the fire-affected folk, please, share this opportunity with them too 🙏

Stay safe x
Sarah & Benn

📷 This photo is one Benn took when deployed at the 19/20 fires in Victoria. It was these, Black Summer fires, that helped to drive the establishment of Abbey's Run Equestrian as we operate today (as opposed to how I used to teach humans with horses, for the 25 years before that).

The joys of daylight savings where I can hang out with Honey and give her a massage or just be with her until quite late.
