Mac- Macky boy as I have been calling him.
Getting his teeth done today, all up to date ready to head home this weekend.

Came to us as a 4yr old who had been lightly backed and ready to start learning and gain some education.
🧑‍🏫👨‍🎓🥰💙
He is such a sweet in your pocket horse. You have been wonderful to have here Mac certainly reminding us at times that your still a baby and can be a cheeky boy at times ;) but you are going to to do great things with your owner young man.

As a part of Horses preparation to becoming competition horses, an important part of their process is to be sure they are ok to handle other horses working in the arena with them and should the horses play up they not be affected by it emotionally.

This young lad worked lovely he certainly kept one eye on our other Horse working with us and even when my partners horse got a freight and started panicking and bucking, Mac asked me what do I do. As any young horse would in that situation and we kept calm and we carried on 👏 good boy.

Starting to build some muscle now as well.
I will be sad to say bye as I am with most ;) when they head home.

Loving having this little guy to work with.Yearling bred by Kentaur Australia so hes got some great blood and a bright future ahead. 🤩

After being contacted to help with desensitising this young lad as he's very weary about humans, he has a lot of questions, he's really allowing his walls to come down in such a short amount of time. He is i beleive starting to enjoy the games I have been introducing him to and understanding why. Definitely a clever lad and he will be a big boy so now is a perfect time to build leadership with leadership comes respect and trust, communication and hopefully a trusting partnership between this young Horse and his owner.

It's never too early to build these crucial foundations with a Horse, so long as you know when to quit and how to be patient!
💙🐴
I thoroughly enjoy helping Horses find confidence, find a playful side and better their leadership with their humans. Using Natural Horsemanship methods and applying them to all types of Horses especially performance horses.

Love - Language- leadership

Good young lad
Mac just turned 4yr old - Sport Horse X welsh giving me a lovely ride this morning some nice canter work coming along, He's been enjoying his time here I believe, made himself quite at home with the other horses snoozing in the sun 😇🐴💙

It's lovely to see them running and playing even getting to roam the property together in a heard for a few hours a day before back into their own paddocks for dinner or lunchtime hay then comfortable and happy enough to lay around

Handover day/ Home time 🚛🏠🐴

The handover day is always such an important part of any owners process when collecting your Horse / Pony from the trainers.

Owners have every right to a handover and this should always be done before you take your Horse/ Pony home.

Such a sweet little Mare this one, sadly lost confidence in us humans as leaders, which then lead to her not seeing much value in us or our partnership.

Safe travels home been lovely having you. 😇

Welcome Salix.
Working with this sweet pea while her mumma is kicking her feet up in Bali ;)🍹🏝

Little Madam is here for some much needed aid and communication touch ups.
Sadly it's very easy for these animals to just switch off or shut down and its not always rider related either ..🤔💡
And it's always a wise idea when you find yourself and your partner in these tricky situations to seek help to just ensure you can both get back to enjoying life together safely. 🤝💜🐴👩🏼‍🏫

ℹ️ Lunging, circling game whichever you choose to name it. 📣

Why do you lunge?
Do you know the purpose?
Do you know if you are doing it affectively?
Does your Horse understand what it is you are trying to communicate to him through the lunge line and on ground?
Does your Horse respond correctly? with relaxation?
