The Human Emotional Filter Sabatoging our Equine Partnership

The Human Emotional Filter
Frequently I've had posts shared with me about how "cute" something is in a horse, mule, or donkey's behavior.

Horse Training Program Troubles

 The trouble with a one-size-fits-all horse training program

I meet a lot of folks with dangerous horses who previously experienced popular "training programs." 

 While one program may work for a horse, other horses may need things to be adapted in how and what is presented. 

But "trainers" often look for physical responses to specific tasks and have a pre-set "step 1, 2, 3" agenda with many pre-designed programs.

Nothing is random when a horse does it. You may not know why the horse did it, but very rarely was it not intentional... 

5 Signs Your Horse Needs a Trainer

If your horse is spooking, bucking, biting, refusing to be caught or tied up, challenging while trailer loading, or generally defensive, it might be worthwhile to hire a trainer for help. Picking the right trainer is also very important. In this video, Alternative Horsemanship the Remote Horse Coach discusses 5 signs it's time to hire a trainer for your horse - and how you may be misinterpreting horse behaviors that could turn into severe or potentially dangerous responses later. Is your horse resistant to being caught, do they act fearful when encountering something new? Are they challenging to tack up or mount? Do they get nervous or anxious and display dangerous behaviors?

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.
