Life is funny and goes so quickly - In my teens, I thought I knew everything. In my 20s, I thought I needed an answer for everything. In my 30s I realized I don’t know nearly everything.

What I did know approaching 40, is I wanted to do things differently, be different, and not a traditional “horse trainer”, but rather a horse-first horseman. Helping horses become the happiest and healthiest version of themselves, and creating the strongest bond possible with their humans.

Now beginning my 40s, I realize I cannot learn enough of all life’s treasures and secrets.

The journey of a horse trainer can be long and tiring full of the highest of highs and the lowest of lows, but it was a title I was once so proud of. But with this beautiful unraveling road this title doesn’t seem to fit anymore, as I realize some of the most valuable lessons I have learned came from what the horses have and continue to teach me, not what I have taught them.

Another beautiful transformation of helping the body unwind during a 90 minute Lazaris Nerve Release session, coupled with BTMM pillar one walking.

This one blew me away with the expansion and lift through the thoracic sling after working on the front half of this sweet gelding.

In the before photo on top, this horse’s thoracic sling could not activate due to tension in the fascia. His chest had collapsed, so his neck and lower back were being used for stabilizing his entire body. Unfortunately this pattern is very common due to many factors including riding style and history, environment, past injuries or pathologies and hoof angles.

In the after picture on the bottom, the fascia restrictions had been softened, allowing his front legs to find stability and “push” off the ground. His chest muscles can activate and help lift his thoracic sling, softening the tension that was being placed on his neck and lower lumbar regions. In the spine photo comparison, you can see the massive change and lift through this area.

The results? Helping a horse who had a negative angle to his spine find lift towards a neutral spine angle, which in turn brought comfort through his entire body. This can be seen in the relaxing and unwinding of his body between the photos, as well as a change in his biomechanics that followed the session. Changes in the system can happen so quickly when given the right tools.

Beautiful changes in the pectoral muscles in one 90 minute, full body Lazaris nerve release session and BTMM pillar one work. Within this session the horse relaxed through the brachiocephalic region of his neck, started unwinding through the pectorals and muscles surrounding the shoulders, dramatically widened his stance and found added comfort both while standing and in motion.

Tension in muscling and fascia in this area very much can cause tripping, tight rope walking, head shaking, an over engaged brachiocephalic, chronic ulcers, a deflated thoracic sling, shortened movement, refusing jumps and unfortunately so much more.

This was a great step in the right direction for this sweet gelding, but he will require some additional work in helping to balance the postural asymmetries in the limbs.

When working with the parasympathetic nervous system, pure magic happens. Because the rider is communicating within this relaxed state, the horses grow to be happier, healthier, retain the information better, are more sound and they want to do their job.

10 minutes separated the top and bottom picture. The only change was leading the horse into a place where they could feel safe leaving flight mode. Tension patterns melt away, fascia relaxes, space is created around the vertebrae and nerves and healthier postural choices start to be made. Helping horses find relaxation again in their every day lives is one of the greatest gifts we can give them.

This weekend I got the opportunity to catch up with a friend where she mentioned her young horse is taking a longer time than expected. We engaged in a conversation about how some move faster while some move at what seems like snails pace. We both got a chuckle at life with horses and how humbling they can be, how they require a large ability to take a joke and laugh about it, and course correct when needed.

Progress is not linear, full of steps forward and back, especially with young horses. From what I see frequently outside of my program, are owners feeling discouraged that their horse isn’t doing XYZ quick enough, or high enough, or fast enough, especially in an industry that focuses and praises the pushing of youngsters.

Here is a picture of my reminder that it takes as long as it takes, even if he’s at an age that most think he should be out showing. His reactions to typical training methods has been quite unique, one that has made me scratch my head multiple times. But instead of shutting that down and just “pushing through”, I chose to listen to his voice and adapt the training to what best suits him and a happy, healthy future… even if it takes longer.

So cheers to the ones that make you scratch your head, pump the brakes, keep your sense of humor, and the ones that remind you that it takes as long as it takes, and that’s perfectly OK. 🩵

Rainy morning hacks -

So important for the proper development of horse and rider for any discipline, so long as it embodies a relaxed nervous system, correct biomechanics and activation through the thoracic sling.
