Helping you to understand your Horse
Working with horses and ponies would have to be my favourite part of the day. Their bodies are put together for speed and strength and their movement is ultra smooth yet thoroughly powerful. They are a magnificent sight! They are also deep thinkers that are full of honesty and integrity and it is always a delight working with them.
For well over 30 years I have solved problems for 1000’s of horses and their owners forever building on my methods and skills, as with any art form it is always something you are refining. Based in pressure and release with impeccable timing as with all good horsemanship but with a true understanding of what the horse is thinking. That’s where I really shine- reading the horse and knowing what to do and when to do it and sharing that with their owner so they can better understand each other.
Your horse or pony is willing to do what you ask and is wanting to be soft, you only need to know how to guide them better. They are not behaving badly but rather they do not know what we perceive as bad behaviour. It is up to us to teach them what is ok and what is not ok.
Horse Knowledge
Each and every horse or pony and their owner I work with are different and their problems are unique but the fundamentals remain the same:
- Find the reasons behind the unwanted behaviour. Is it fear, lack of understanding, disrespect or even pain.
- Work with you and determine the strategies and tools needed to resolve the issue.
- Show the horse the direction to the right answer then teach you how to do it too.
There are no quick fixes but you will now have a plan with a goal and be armed with the knowledge and actions needed to get there.
