Can be a journey that needs to be explored at one point or another in a horse journey.

Very rarely are negative responses resulting in behavioural responses....so ask the questions

“My vet cleared my horse for pain so we are certain it’s behavioral”

Pain is contextual, as Tami Elkayam says.
Pain lives in the brain, and can be manifested differently moment to moment. It can change or present highly differently in different circumstances. Therefore, it is impossible to prove the absence of pain.
Fear of pain, memory of pain, and pain all can present the same to a body in self preservation.

And, it can take endless exploration and specialists to locate the source of pain. One vetting or even multiple may not find it.
Something to think about next time you’re presented with behaviors you can’t understand.

Pay close attention to the parts in your horse's body where he shows insecurity. Where he has a lack of confidence, a lack of strength or a lack of certainty.

It's important to build a pattern within your horse's body, that helps your horse to find strength in the weak parts of his body.

By doing so your horse will become stronger and stronger, so in the end he has no weaknesses left.

Looking forward to hearing Yoann's philosophies on horsemanship this Saturday.

How would you define a horseman?

For me, a horseman is someone who wants to understand what’s happening inside of a horse brain and body without ego, expectations and pressure.

It’s someone who wants to make a difference in the life of a horse without having to feel that the horse owns him anything.

It’s someone that doesn’t care about the look or the quality of the horse he works with because he values each of them the same way.

It’s someone who doesn’t care about the level of training your horse has. He’s still going to treat your horse like the wild animal he is.

A horseman looks for connection, feelings and energy to communicate with horses without changing the natural instinct of the animal.

A horseman try to get better every day at speaking horses and he never takes it for granted!

If there is anything I acheive, I hope its that we encourage those that journey here to ask the questions and to overcome the problems for and with their horses.

If you want to ride horses, you have a choice. You can be a good rider and handler or you can be one that causes trouble with a horse.

Choosing to be a good rider and handler doesn't mean you will won't have to overcome problems.

It does mean that from time to time you too will cause trouble with a horse.

But the difference between you and the "person that causes trouble with a horse" is that you will seek to overcome the problem.

You will be drawn to adapt, improve and overcome.

You will strive.

You will seek advice and feedback.

Take responsibility.

Adjust your approach.

Go through the uncomfortable process of learning something new and being clumsy at it to begin with.

You will practice and put in time.

You will consider the health and comfort of the horse.

You will keep your expectations in check.

Sometimes you will find yourself out of the saddle and back on the ground, because this is where your horse needs to be.

As a good rider you are prepared to do inconvenient things and struggle to help your horse.

You will tell me that being a good rider is not easy, it is hard work. It requires sacrifice and effort. How sometimes it feels like "one step forward - two steps back".

However, you will tell me it is worth it. It gives your life meaning and purpose....and made you a better person.
