I've had a lot of inquiries lately as to how I began Alternative Horsemanship over 20 years ago. I thought I would post an interview from a while back sharing my story in segments.

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.

Assessing and improving your horse's health...
Below are some basic questions to ask in regards to your horse’s health. I suggest keeping a horse health journal making note of diet changes, farrier care, odd behaviors, etc. It can be used as a future reference point to learn from and find what works best for the horse.

Are You Overwhelming Your Horse?
This isn’t about repeating something mindlessly over and over. Repetition can do two things, it either causes your horse to mentally shut down and check out – seemingly quiet – until you change
something and he “suddenly blows up,” or you continue putting him in overwhelming scenarios that overwhelm his mind (i.e. then the spook happens.)

Horsemanship: Spatial Pressure and Release
This week's theme of learning about, with, without the horse continues with this video captured this past year at my summer base at The Equestrian Center, LLC in Sandpoint, ID.
Horsemanship: Spatial Pressure and Release
I often have "help" from the deer, moose, bear, wild turkeys (who always insist on arriving when I'm getting on a colt for the first time,) and other critters. Of course, the domesticated cats also enjoy participating.
Even though this video is "cute," it is really a great example of spatial pressure, how little it takes to "send" it, and how strong it can be felt!
Do you have any animals who "help" you when you're working with your horse?
