Let's talk anchors 👇

What is an anchor? An anchor is the learnt foundation of every maneuver, not just the pretty ones either. Everything we teach them is a maneuver, from leading on a a lead and wearing a saddle, to spins and sliding stops. Every one of these maneuvers have a preliminary learning that becomes the foundation of the maneuver The reason they are so important is because our anchors are what we fall back on when things dont go to plan moving forward in training. For context, your horse is having trouble with roll backs, the anchors to a roll backs are, backing up, lateral flexion, collection, shoulder control, and impulsion. Knowing this, you can identify what anchor needs majority of the work. Using this theory, you are able to identify where to focus training energy as opposed to practicing the maneuver as a whole and hoping it improves.

How slow can you go?
For me, as slow as it takes. 99% of my clients that I start horses for, are women, and generally above 40 years old. Every step takes the time it takes. Thats how a foundation is developed.

Mack, A brumby that I started a couples years ago. I put 6 weeks into him, back when 6 weeks was my program. He was left in the paddock from when I finished him. Maddi bought him and done everything bringing him back into work. This horse was far from an easy horse to start. He had plenty of pre existing ideas on how he felt about humans. Maddi turned him into a kids horse in a few months, for a 10 year old she gets horses better then most adults I know.

I have been working with minnie for a little over a week. Initally it was a session helping her relieve her seperation anxiety. Like alot of horses, Minnie struggled with horse-human herd dynamics and her nervous system was constantly activated while being handled.

Horses that lack confidence co regulate from us. They borrow our nervous system to help settle there own, they cant do that if we dont show them they can trust us, and if our own system is constantly activated.

Getting co regulation is step one. Self regulation is the goal. It comes from repeated activation, at the edge of there emotion, and then allowing the nervous system to regulate and learn that whatever stimulated it wasnt a threat.

1 rung on the ladder at a time.

When you quit them is what matters the most. Tell me if you can see why I stopped her.
