Send us a text If we skip steps, they will bite us on the ass later. I am not quite sure why people think it is ok to do that.

Send us a text No offense to all the horse loving Karen's out there! But seriously I do get people telling me that they think their horses is stupid.

In this episode I share some real life stor…

Send us a text Many horse owners are afraid to correct their horse — they worry it will damage the bond or make the horse stop liking them. But honestly, the only behaviours we truly can’t accept around horses are the ones that are potentially dangerous — like pushing, biting, or kicking. So if a horse is showing those behaviours and isn’t being ta…

Send us a text The world is moving so fast now, personally I find it exciting to witness and I am grateful, but I also find it a bit scary.

Send us a text Thank you Oros Mihai for the question - it is indeed a good subject and although broad, if we can understand some things which make the whole process much easier and safer, and from the horses point of view, their dignity can be preserved that whole much more and their first experiences carrying us can leave a long term positive effe…

Send us a text Feel is a term I discovered during my journey in Natural Horsemanship some 25 years ago. It changed the way I work, play and train with horses and for the better. While it is not something we can learn over night, it IS something we can implement daily to the point we get so good at it, it becomes our new normal. Curious? Please list…

Send us a text When accessing a horse that has no go, I do my best to view them from 4 categories: 1. Character (low, medium or high spirited) 2. Physical (past or present pain) 3.

Send us a text Horsemanship is way more than just technique and doing things with horses.

Send us a text A touchy subject for some perhaps, but in the end it is not about us, it is about THEM! Too many horses cannot release trauma or fear triggered from the past because their humans cannot let it go either.

Send us a text I fear that it is during times of desperation or when we need to do something that is different with our horses that our skills are revealed and put to test.
