Human Perceptions of the Horse's Halt by Alternative Horsemanship

Perceptions of the Halt

Many humans view the halt as physical yielding or obedience. There is little or no concept of the difference between the feet not moving versus a horse mentally present and physically relaxed when asked to stop.

Human Intention and Horse Behavior by Alternative Horsemanship

The Human Intention

Until humans figure out what we are bringing to the equine partnership, we cannot offer the horse clear, intentional, specific, and segmented communication they so often need.
I just finished teaching an Alternative Horsemanship six-day clinic and there was a student who was retelling his morning interaction with the horse. Things had not gone as he expected, and he was negatively referring to the horse's behavior in human emotional terms.

Musings of the Modern Day Horse- Buying an Equine

Musings of the Modern Horse

I've been teaching a 6-day horsemanship clinic in Southern California despite typical Sunny weather, the joke is I bring changes in the weather. We went from 70 plus degrees on day one to the high of 36 and sleet rain two days later with snow that night.
As I always teach students to be adaptable, so am I in my teachings. We happen to have multiple participants who will be on a horse buying search in the near future.

Fear of Doing Things "wrong" With the Horse

 What if I don't do it "right?"

Over the years of helping a variety of riders of all ages, backgrounds, disciplines, and experiences, I get asked this same question as they strive to improve their equine partnerships.

Horse Trainer Burnout- Misconceptions in the Equine Industry

 Horse Trainer Burnout

 The false illusion of what a trainer will do for the horse, meaning offer this neat packaged result, is ridiculous. For so long nobody considered the individual owner, their abilities, their goals, their time commitment, and most of all nobody actually considered the horse they were working with.
