Wow! What a beautiful success story!

I have seen way too many horses in this kind of condition being misdiagnosed, usually “navicular “ with no one that knows what to do besides medicate them. .. or worse.

Thank you! Bear Valley Rescue for what you do 💕💕💕

The Relationship Riding method, and how it all started, is featured in the books "Nikkita", "Angelica" and "Trinity". These novels are based on true horse stories. These stories are incredible and hard to believe, but they are all true and have actually happened. The rest of the characters are ficticious.

Do you want to know how powerful the Relationship Riding method is? Read the adventures of Bobbie Hill in this trilogy, available on Amazon in Kindle and paperback format.
("Trinity" will be released at the end of this month).

P.s. feel free to reach out and ask how you can accomplish the same results with your horses: [email protected]

Well said …

One of the most powerful moments in a relationship with a horse is realizing that trust and agreement are not the same thing.

For a long time, I thought they were.

If the horse trusted you, they would come.

They would cooperate.

They would say yes.

But life has a way of challenging simple stories.

Because eventually you meet a horse who trusts you enough to disagree.

A horse who feels safe enough to express uncertainty.

A horse who doesn't hide their discomfort.

A horse who knows the relationship can survive an honest answer.

And suddenly you realize something important:

The deepest trust was never revealed by the yes.

It was revealed by what happened after the no.

Did the relationship remain intact?

Did curiosity remain present?

Did respect survive disappointment?

I think many of us have experienced relationships where honesty felt dangerous.

Where belonging depended on agreement.

Where saying the wrong thing risked losing connection.

Horses seem to ask us a beautiful question:

Can a relationship remain loving when two beings want different things?

Because if the answer is yes, something extraordinary becomes possible.

No one has to disappear.

No one has to pretend.

No one has to abandon themselves to stay connected.

And perhaps that is what real trust looks like.

Not agreement.

But the safety to be honest.

FINALLY!!! This slaughter house is closed!

My horse Trinity was at this slaughter house. Thank God a wonderful gentleman named Paul drove by, saw him standing in the lot and rescued him. Then Trinity found his way into my heart and home.
