Equine Learning- Consequences of ill-fitting Tack Fit in the Human and Horse

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.

Young Horse Training- When are they old enough?

Assessing the Horse's Diet- Health, Unwanted Behaviors, and other Concerns

Assessing your horse's diet 

Folks often create an initial feed program with a new horse. Years later, they tend to still be feeding the same thing, without really assessing if it is appropriate for the horse's current health, work regime, health, seasonal changes, etc.

The Undervalued Recognition of REM sleep in Horses & Unwanted Behaviors

 The Undervalued Value of Equine Sleep

 

Horsemanship- Allowing ourselves Permission to be Present

"Have to" often clouds our awareness and acknowledgment of the horse. It limits our ability to believe and be empathetic towards the horse.

Can horse goals be good? Absolutely

But what if our first Goal was to begin every session by letting our own distractions go. Exhaling our urgencies. Calming our emotions and energy. And being available to "hear" the horse's communication without Critique?

Learning to address the horse in the present helps us succeed with Quality in the future.
