Skystone Farm

Skystone Farm Skystone Farm is home to horses and their people. We produce horses for sport and we offer a community for people who want to develop their horsemanship.

Skystone Farm is always evolving, always refining our understanding of what makes a good horseman. A blend of classical and contemporary 'english' riding, our backgrounds are in dressage and showjumping. Yet removed from the business of horses where success is measured by the ability to stay away at horse show venues, we choose to stay home, working with and learning from our partners, the Horses

of Skystone. We are amateurs in the true sense of the word, it is not our profession, it is our passion. Occasionally one of our horses graduates and finds new owners who respect and enjoy all that they are and the fruits of our labours to educate and carefully condition them to accept the demands and whims we impose on them.

Regardless the discipline, It all needs the same foundation: a healthy body, understanding of how to use it and trust in the schooling process. His habitual movement pattern had him pacing at the canter and holding his body with tension resulting in underdeveloped intrinsic muscles. New to the vaulting world, Willie likes his new life as Lynda collaborates with Paul to improve his fitness and understanding of his new job. He is blossoming under Lynda’s patience and appreciation of his willingness to try. Lucky boy.

Conversation between horse and rider. Iuliana sets a high standard in diplomatic communications. This young rider is impressively learning the language.

Doing what we can to reinforce other dogs are not enemies. Otto is non-reactive until they try to attack him. The problem with GSDs is that they get blamed because of their size and intensity when things go wrong. 🤦🏼‍♀️

“Like a bucket on the ocean” he once described her. Now :”It’s like riding on a cloud”. It’s been trial and error. Be willing to question yourself. Allow a dialogue to flow so an autonomous partner feels no coercion. Horses don’t lie. Learn from their side of the conversation and let go of what you think you know, if you’re big enough.

One year, 5 months, 10 days. Thanks to the beautiful energy and sense of what was needed, Aloe helped Otto, our young German Shepherd, find his joy again. He lost his paradise home at Skystone Farm, then lost his beloved Gunner, his Alpha and the center of his universe. His grief led to extreme anxiety and spiralled him further, to life saving surgery followed by depression of physical ailment he had no understanding of. Aloe’s compassion and understanding was the tonic Otto needed. An Omega of any pack, Aloe diffused any energy that triggered Otto’s defensive aggression (Otto is a pack Beta - sole purpose is to face any threat before Alpha risks injury). The young Shepherd gradually accepted Aloe’s kind companionship and, after all this time, has become happy enough to play again. They are both ecstatic to see each other. Huge credit and appreciation for for giving Otto the time and space and Aloe, to help Otto find his way back.
