Horse Rider Tips Unintentional Communication
Breathing and Improving the Equine Partnership
4 Horsemanship Tips
Are you breathing?
When riders focus they tend to hold their breath. Talk. Tell your horse what you are doing (literally, it also helps you keep track.) Sing to him or whistle. Anything!
Horse Rider Mindset Hints by Alternative Horsemanship
What ifs...
Yeah, but I want to...
In peeling back the layers of why things fall apart, there is an imbalance of blaming the horse versus human self-observation and awareness.
Rarely is it popular to discuss how much the human mind and emotions can delegate how the horse interaction occurs.

Horse Help: Spooking, bolting, dangerous behavior- Symptom vs Root Cause
Recently I did an interview sharing my Alternative Horsemanship with Samantha Harvey the Remote Horse Coach horse and riding training approaches. I wanted to share a video clip from it regarding unwanted, dangerous, behavior in horses. Scary horse reactions such as a horse that will spook, bolt, buck, or those that seem to outright ignore the rider can cause fear and anticipation in both the human and equine.
Horsemanship and Equine Partnership
This post comes as a result of several recent comments I’ve heard from horse people as they are getting “amped up” for the upcoming spring riding season. Especially in areas of the country that are affected by nasty, cold winter weather, it seems that winter brings on a lethargic feeling, and so instead of the actual hands-on time with their horses, people tend to try to learn via technology, books, etc.
Horsemanship- Tack Fit Challenges
Tack fit... or perhaps I should say Mis-Fit. Probably ranking in the Top 3 challenges faced by riders. It is a major contributor to unwanted experiences in the equine partnership.
Rock Bottom Motivation with the Horse
Rock Bottom Motivation
My horse is really good... except when I ask him to ______.
I often go out to ride concerned about who will be at the barn or stable...
I can only do ____ with my horse if I first _____ with him.
When I first bought my horse he was great, but now I feel unsure about how he will react to things.
I've been riding for 30 years, shouldn't I know enough by now to stop taking lessons?
My friends' comments when they try to help me at the competition/on the trail/at home schooling just stress me out to the point that riding isn't fun and I'm now avoiding going to the barn.
I feel overwhelmed in where and how to get my horse to respect me.
When I rode as a child I had no fear, now it seems to be a constant in the back of my mind and overshadows enjoyment in time spent with my horse.
I dutifully work my horse, but it seems the more I practice something the worse my horse gets.
When I'm sitting in the saddle I'm exhausted after just a short ride.
