Read this today……

Everybody wants a good horse.
But not everybody wants to become the kind of person that makes a horse good.

In today’s world, people expect fast results.

Instant gratification.
Swipe, click, scroll, done.

People expect success to be delivered like an Amazon Prime Order:
fast, easy, and with a smile.

They want to turn their feral horse into a “finished horse” without ever putting in the hours it takes to truly understand one in the first place.

Here’s the thing…
Mastery isn’t downloadable.
A reciprocal relationship can’t be rushed. It is build over time and it comes with highs and lows.

What took others years of learning, failing, watching, refining, people now want handed to them in a weekend clinic, a 10-minute video, a one time exercise, a one-sentence answer or because they bought a course.

The shortcuts people chase are often detours that lead them right back to where they started, just more frustrated this time.

They want the feel, but not the feedback.
They want the bond, but not the humility.
They want the horse to change, but they don’t want to change themselves.

No one can hand you the timing, the feel, the quiet, calm and consistent leadership it takes.

It can’t be downloaded or bought.

You earn that, you develop it, with every consistent rep and step. With patience. With clarity. Through being a lifetime student of the horse.

By showing up on the days it’s hard, boring, frustrating or humbling.

Put in the work.
Put in the hours.
Because Your horse
deserves that version of You.

Don’t confine, trap or punish your horse……redirect their thoughts and give them options.
Teach them to think. Teach them to self manage their own mental state…..
This starts with you walk/trot/cantering on a loose rein. And I mean LOOSE, on the buckle, longest rein possible!! Not just “in contact with soft hands”.
And if you’re struggling with this, come and work with me!

Does your horse carry anxiety in a high head carriage, unable to find relaxation whilst on the move?

Let me help you work with your horses mind to encourage RELAXATION. Once we progress with groundwork this then transposes to your ridden work.

Work with me to get results, and let’s do this differently together.

I do a lot of groundwork with ANY horse l work with.
Some might say I do too much.
I just see a connection you can’t get whilst in the saddle.

But don’t take it from me………….

The boys tucking into an evening meal this evening. Surprisingly, not that interested in the view! Although I think they’re starting to miss the rain as much as us……
Middle of May….. warm as Spring…..
Lots of lessons in wonderful, perfect weather. And as much as l like being busy……I’d love a rain interrupted day 🙁

The Horsemanship knowledge pool just got a little shallower with the sudden loss of this amazing human…..

JOHN SAINT RYAN (02/11/53 to 04/03/25)

I and our family want to let our friends know that John had a heart attack the evening of Thursday 3rd of April. We were with him at the hospital where the staff did everything possible but unfortunately he did not survive. We are absolutely heart broken.

John wanted to aid medical research and donated his body, so there will not be a funeral.
Later, we will arrange a celebration of his wonderful life.

We are all fortunate to have known and loved this special 'Gentleman' as he has been described to me numerous times over the last couple of days.

Joyce and Family.

Recently I’ve had quite a few people ask me if I know of any good horses for sale.
My first question is always “What do you want to do with your new horse?”
Closely followed by the important one….”What’s your budget?”
Many people “just want a good trail horse” which in my eyes is one of the most well trained horses going around. Some people believe that if a horse is “quiet” then it’d make a good trail horse…But the thing is…ALL horses are “quiet”, until they’re not.
And that there is when your training must kick in.
Where you find out how much of a connection you have, how much of a handle you really have on your horse. How quickly you can redirect their thoughts from saving themselves, to thinking of you on their back.

This is what we must train for.

Yes, there are many other advantages of training for mental connection. Softness through the body from a relaxed mind, having a horse that understands a process of learning, having a horse that searches for answers without fear of punishment.

Being able to move each part of your horse with softness, impulsion and control is not just for the arena and show ring…..it can save you out on the trail too.

Always variety in my job!!!
These two came by on the weekend for a “little” tune up.

It doesn’t matter how big or small your horses are, your consistency and connection through training are just as important.
