So it’s been a very very long time since I have posted anything and you may be wondering why.

Well, the reality was s there has been so many things going on from no water to critical hay shortages, making those hard decisions for our 4 legged kids and the hardest thing ever ……….. people.
Yes that’s right, people.

One thing I have had to deal with (as just about any trainer has felt), horse owners wanting an outcome without actually wanting to put the work in and having a good hard look at themselves as the problem, and wanting to change.

We as people need to look at ourselves first to see what we need to change in order to achieve a harmonious, safe and beautiful relationship with our horses.

It’s very mentally taxing to always hear “it’s the horses fault” when it’s absolutely not.

I’m have decided that this does not work for me anymore and if people don’t want to change, I am not putting my precious energy into those people.
This of course from a business perspective is not sustainable but, that’s ok with me.
I feel for the horses I have to abandon as it’s always been about their welfare and growth, but I just can’t deal with people like that anymore.

PLEASE look at yourselves first.

(This little guy came in quite dangerous and had not interest in anyone. Now he’s happy and helathy both physically andd mentally. Turned into a curious cuddle monster and brings himself into bed with his buddy every night and back out to the paddock each morning).

Compliance Vs Cooperation.
What is the concept?
In the earlier (and unfortunately still in some cases today), it is said “show the horse who is boss”.
That is compliance. Making a horse do you what want through fear of a negative experience.

Cooperation is very different with a beautiful outcome. This is when the horse shows you their insecurities or fear with the HUMAN showing guidance and understanding to help the horse reduce adrenaline to become calm and quiet through the humans assistance.

Remember horses (and humans) still have primitive FFF, fight flight flee responses.
For horses, it’s about how much you can trust your partner, which is us, to say it’s ok, I will keep you safe. We become the safe place .

This is all done in training on the ground prior to riding.
I can not express enough that ground work is absolutely essential to developing an amazing trusting and SAFE partner.

I do not offer a quick fix or that my training fixes all horses issues unless, you as the human charges to give confidence to your horse.

If the human doesn’t adapt and change, the horse will continue with the same issues.

I want my horses to continue to show their expression and nature, not shut it down due to “compliance” training

Love what you have and understand what your horse is telling you. They are trying to have a conversation without words and we must listen

Available to a lovely home
3yo UNSTARTED TB filly measuring 14.3 3/4 at the moment.
Polly is an absolute sweetheart to do anything with. She has the most beautiful quiet nature and loves people.
She is so lovely she is on the babysitting duties for youngsters because she is so sensible and grounded.
She had an accident as a youngster and now has a head tilt but has been fully looked over by a vet and they are happy with her soundness.
She will never be a world be**er but will be a super PC, ARC, low level comp or trail riding horse in the future in the right hands.

Polly will only go to the most suitable person for her that has the knowledge to bring out her future career. She very much looks to the handler for confidence.

$500 but to be honest, the right home is far more important than $$$. She is a very special girl.

She was unnamed for racing and will not be able to be raced.

Genuine enquires only. Absolutely no time wasters please.

What dressage used to be, what it is today.
I have to say, it makes me sad where we have gone.
Pole should be the highest point, not the C2-C3 vertebrae. Also contact is not soft anymore, it looks like a massive fight.

So with all the people who have held this for 4 years before reporting is disgraceful but for her to do it is even more of a disgrace.
I also saw a video today with Mark Todd belting a horse when it didn’t want to go into the water jump.
I am so sick of seeing so much animal abuse.

This video is a hard watch!!!

Very solid 16.2hh (not officially measured) 4yo TB gelding
The very beautiful Lord Bentley has become available.
This guy has the most amazing personality and loves to play and be with people. He would be a super liberty horse in the future.

He is not suitable for jumping due to his front tendons but has been given the all clear from the vet for flat riding.
He’s a much loved horse by the trainer and will only go to the very best of forever homes.
He has had full tendon rehab but has not had work since being with me for the last 6 weeks as I just don’t have the time.
He is available as is, and will be sold to a knowledgeable home.
No time wasters please.

If I took this with a good camera, it would have been such a beautiful photo.
Baggins and his early morning feed with the full moon setting.
Magnificent to wake up to and start the day with this ❤️
