No isn't just a "naughty horse" it's communication. No when voiced should not be silenced, ignored or punished

Did you know different lead collars mean different things.

Some dogs need to have space for different reasons and that's perfectly OK - I don't like every human I meet and can be dangerous before morning coffee, or if I'm hungry or stressed and do not get me started on slow drivers or fair weather riders 🙈 do you know what - I'll stop there 😂! but what I mean is.... I get it. 😉

Please share the knowledge to protect dogs that are vulnerable.

Look at this handsome guy being put through his paces today in millstreet and huge thank you to my wonderful friends and neighbours always willing to help me with the dogs I'm training in town.
Rocky was the talk of millstreet, Jerry and the lads all jumped into helping me socialise him coming out from the butchers to say hello and of course the ladies from the dog friendly shop Capabu Foods.

Rocky absolutely nailed behaving in town and saying hello to everyone without jumping or becoming overexcited. 👏👏 Such a clever pup

Where we started to what has been achieved, couldn't be prouder of Sally and Shauna. Day one vs the day shauna never thought would happen 🎉😉

Long, low, slow training makes all the difference. Focusing on gently building muscles and strength

Lack of general care or maintenance ie. Chiro, physio, dentist, farrier, saddle fitting.

Breaking too early... Leave your 2 Yr old alone, you don't need to permanently damage your horse to "control it."

Pushing horses/ponies to their limit. Just because the "breeding" says they can, just because "their that type" or because their "sir or dame is" doesn't automatically qualify them.

Stop fighting with your horse it's not a battle it's a partnership.
