I offer coaching to help work with your horse in a 100% animal friendly way that empowers both you and your horse plus more Working with Clicker Training/ Liberty and bitless riding. We'll also be exploring how to work with problem horses naturally and answering your questions about your relationship with your horse if you have any. Now also doing Equine Facilitated Learning. I help people who are nervous around horses and want more confidence and also troubled teens and disabled. Learn how to build a relationship with positive reinforcement and work within the horses boundaries. Helping you to understand that the horse needs to use its mental capacity to be a thinking horse not a robotic horse.

Trust and what does it mean to me and my horse
I have talked about this before but would like to discuss further.
When letting your horse explore different things, some being scary to the horse it is best to not hold the horse on a lead rope but let the horse be at liberty and free to run or move away if not sure.
They may do this but then they will stop and look back at you and what they are unsure about. This is really good as this normally leads to them coming back to investigate as they see you are not scared so maybe it is ok.
I will often ask them to target the object and reward them.
What happens here is the horse starts to trust you and trust that you will not put them in danger.This also means that they feel when they are with you they are safe.
This happened 2 days ago when it was raining and really windy and one of my empty chaff bags was blowing and stuck on the fence and Nellie came trotting over to stand by me and we looked at it together. I asked her if she wanted me to get it so she could have a look.
So iI did that and let her target it and let it blow in the wind. She was ok then and good result.
NOW. When you are on the horses back you are one with the horse as well so dont you want your horse to feel safe being with you and when they are not sure instead of spooking wait for you to show something that they are not sure of is ok
This is not an overnight fix and will take time and going out for walks in different places will also help with the trust

By listening, watching your horse when you are working together you will get the answer.
Don't worry how long it will take but have your senses on high alert so you don't miss what your horse is showing you.

Happy horse days
