Learning is hard. First, we need to learn the skills our horses are begging us to learn, so that we can promise them our goal is to understand them, to see things from their point of view, and to give them the communication they need to be able to say yes or no versus get tight, bracey, spooky, pushy, etc. In order for us to learn them, we need to practice the skills. In practicing the skills, we need to remember exactly that: we are practicing skills so that we can be a better partner. Then, once we learn the skills and are confident with them, it's all about learning when to use that skill to better our relationship with our equine partner. Some skills are used 1% of the time and some skills are used 100% of the time for an individual horse. The same skill might be needed 40% of the time for another individual horse. My goal for my students is to help you learn all the necessary skills to be seen as a partner (herd member) for your horse and then learn which skills are more important for your individual equine partner and for you personally.

As I play with these youngsters I am reminded of what is important, to me, as I set them up for a life in humansville.

It is important, to me, to promise them that nothing is a trap. A door is always open.

It is important, to me, to allow and/or teach them to drift. They can always ask for more space.

It is important, to me, that I leave them wanting more. That they want it to be there turn again asap and everytime I walk into the paddock.

It is important, to me, that I follow each of their individual time lines. Not mine or one of the other youngsters.

It is important, to me, that I am just as ready to retreat as I am ready to approach. That they feel understood and listened too.

It is important, to me, that I offer softness and clarity and purpose. That they learn with confidence.

It is important, to me, that they be set up for a life in humansville. That means setting them up for the unthinkable.

I will take the time it takes so that it takes less time.

I will set them up be to calm, trusting, motivated and responsive partners.

I will follow each of their individual timelines.

I will make sure they feel listened to and understood.

I will put their needs before mine.

P.S: If you are looking for a very nice youngster please message me.
