Infinity Horsemanship

Join me today at Books Are Awesome - Parker for an author signing event!

I wrote this book as an effort to educate audiences of all ages about the story and plight of the American Mustang. How can we work toward solutions if so many people don't know wild horses exist today?

This review exemplifies the book's purpose and I'm proud that it has inspired young readers like this one:

"Over a year ago we purchased your book at a local shop in Parker. It is my daughter's favorite book! Whenever we are driving around and she sees a light colored horse she asks if it's Nita. We read your book multiple times a week. It is well loved! She has developed a big love of horses we believe started from your book. Collecting any horse toy she can, taking riding lessons, and saying she wants to rescue horses when she gets older. Thought I'd send you an email to let you know you book had an impact on a little girl's heart and dreams."

I'd love to see you today at Books Are Awesome in Parker where you can pick up a signed copy! 🥰

There are a few spots left in my upcoming North Carolina clinic!

Join me March 1-2 in Lake Waccamaw, NC to learn how to build a relationship with your horse based on connection, attunement, and relaxation. Develop an understanding of how your horse thinks and why they do the things they do so that you can independently solve problems even beyond the clinic.

Participate for Saturday only, or both Saturday and Sunday for the fullest experience. Participants will receive online access to my Clinic Preparation course as well as free Post-Clinic Virtual Lessons.

Auditors welcome. Details and registration can be found here: https://www.infinityhorsemanship.com/ncclinic

The inaugural Celebration of the Horse-Human Relationship (CHHR) this past weekend was such a beautiful experience that I’m honored to be a part of and to continue to see blossom in coming years.

It was a gift to be able to share the arena with other presenters who masterfully discussed diverse topics while a common thread weaved through all of our clinics – the foundation of putting the horse first…their bodies, their learning styles, their emotions. And it was so beautiful to be part of a representation that no matter where our individual paths have taken us, when we let our love for the horse lead the way, we are all much more similar than different.

This weekend meant a lot to me in so many ways. Since taking a break from teaching clinics, I’ve changed so much of my horsemanship priorities and ways to get there, that I had a nagging doubt about whether I’d be able to share this “new” stuff in an effective way. But once I got back in the arena in front of a horse, those messages flowed through me as easily as ever… reinvigorating my passion for teaching. I look forward to continuing to share my unique voice and perspective to those whom it brings value to.

I have so much gratitude to those who made this event happen.

Thank you to Mary MillerJordan AndFamily (I AM HERD Mustang Sanctuary) for letting this idea kindle from within you into the flame that was shared with everyone.

Thank you to Triple Crown Feed and EspanaSilk Grooming Products for sponsoring the event.

Thank you to all of the presenters for sharing horsemanship through your unique lens. My one regret is that I was unable to see more of everyone’s clinics.

Thank you to the support staff Hannah, Andrew, and Shayla for doing literally everything behind the scenes AND watching Alice while I taught. It was such a comfort knowing that Alice was safe and cared for so that I could focus on the horses.

Thank you to all who attended. It is an honor that you trusted us to be a part of your horsemanship journey.

I can’t wait to return next year and am already missing the special community that formed around the horse at CHHR.

I have already scheduled my return to Lake Waccamaw, NC to teach a two-day clinic on March 1-2. Mark your calendars if you’re interested and details will be out soon!

One of my biggest "icks" is hearing or reading the words - "scientifically proven".

I read posts daily about horse behavior or care that someone asserts is scientifically proven. Or that research proves. And such statements automatically raise my hackles and make me distrust the rest of what they have to say.

The assertion that anything is scientifically proven is an affront to science as a whole. Science by nature is ever-changing, ebbing and flowing with new observations, new methods of measurement, new ideas. And that is the beauty of it. Science at its core should be built on skepticism and the enduring desire to seek new evidence.

I've written many posts about staying curious and thinking critically about everything you read.

So this is my take away message today:
If you read "scientifically proven", proceed with extreme caution. And when someone references "research", question that research. Was it truly research? Or was it a series of anecdotes from a limited sample? Who paid for the study? What were the potential limitations of that study?

As someone with a degree in psychology, I get extra bothered by assertions of proof in relation to behavioral sciences. Nearly all of our understanding of human behavioral science is based on extrapolations and inferrences. The actual research on equine behavior is even more significantly limited. That doesn't mean there isn't good information about equine behavior out there, but we must retain the caveat of uncertainty.

Absolutely nothing about equine behavior, learning theory, emotions, motivators, or cognitive ability is proven. Our understanding is built by centuries of anecdotal experiences passed through countless lenses of individual teachers and students, with a sprinkling of extrapolation from limited scientific literature.

Stay safe out there, the misinformation is everywhere.

In my years of teaching horsemanship, my most common students have been either children or women over 50. For either population, picking up hind feet is difficult to impossible when done the traditional way of holding the foot way out because you are then responsible for holding the weight of that horse for balance.

When done the way Zak demonstrates here, almost anyone can lift and hold a hind hoof.

Additionally, most horses don't actually have problems lifting/holding their feet up. Usually the horses with "problem behaviors" like refusing to lift feet or pulling feet away are responding to how they are having their humans are handling their feet.

I don't usually share others' work on my page, but Zak does a great job of explaining and demonstrating the how and why of lifting hind feet with tact and respect for the horse.
