After visiting Hartpury yesterday to watch Horsemanship Training show, I am feeling very motivated to do more with Toby, and try more.
Thank you to GK Horsemanship for the gorgeous halter and rope!!

We worked on softness and just understanding the new cues with a halter šŸ¤

It's your journey...

What ever you do with your horse, what ever you plan to achieve with your horse, remember it's your journey and no one else's!

Stop comparing your training to someone else's, it doesn't help you or your horse and doesn't help further your achievements quicker.

Enjoy your journey, and don't focus on the end goal too much. In fact the journey is what you should focus on and have fun learning šŸ¤

What a fantastic time at Beechwood Equestrian Centre over the weekend and being able to put on a great demo. I absolutely love showing people what can be achieved with your own horse if you listen and learn with them. Nothing is impossible!

Toby was the star of the show, and we got to show off our lovely new saddle from Western Tack Trader too.

We showed off our groundwork, western riding and also some teaching. I loved it!

Thank you also to Miss Marmalade photography for some great pictures and videos, just got to decide which ones to get!! šŸ¤

How many of us just walk towards our horses and just assume it's ok to stroke their face or muzzle?

Sounds bizarre, but how would you feel if someone came up to you and hugged you without checking if it was ok first?

Let your horse sniff and relax and take time to say hello... Everything we do is all rushed... Take time and live in the moment šŸ¤

Listening to your horse

Being able to listen to your horse is absolutely vital for a good relationship. When I say listen, I mean being able to understand his ways of communicating to you.

Recently my own horse had become fidgety when getting on. Tacking up he was fine and once on he was fine, it was the initial getting on. All he would do was step away as soon as my foot went in the stirrup. No aggression, just stepping away.

After speaking to a western saddler, it soon came to light his saddle was no longer suitable for him.

He wasn't being annoying, naughty or bad... He was showing me something wasn't right, and he was relying on me to listen, be able translate his language and act on it šŸ¤

Motivation...

Motivation, something we all need, but often misplaced it!

I get a lot of riders telling me how they don't feel motivated all the time, and feel guilty if they don't ride their horse everyday.

Even I misplace my motivation at times, and have to remind myself that it's ok if I don't ride my horse and that he will not begrudge me for it.

Imagine if you had to work every day without time out. We always feel better after a few days off, so it's ok for your horse to have the same šŸ¤
