Are you creating unwanted horse behavior?
Alternative Horsemanship the Remote Horse Coach shares insight into human interactions that can lead to unwanted equine behaviors.
Horses, Health, and Sleep Patterns or Deprivation
Horse Health, Behaviors & Sleep
When we say "horse" the initial image in our mind is that of the horse galloping through a field, or some other majestic movement. But there's also the aspect of thinking about how comfortable mentally and emotionally the horse is.
Holes in the Horsemanship
Holes in the Horsemanship
It is my job when a horse first comes in to evaluate “where the horse is at,” mentally, physically, emotionally, and experience-wise. So I thought I’d share with you some of the more common “holes” I tend to find in working with horses of all ages… I believe a majority of the time the holes are present because owners and horses learn to get comfortable with how or what they present in a scenario. The horse learns what is expected of them and then can comply. The problem occurs when the “rules” or expectations change.
Horse Rider Intentions and Goals
"You become what you want to be, by consistently being what you want to become each day." Richard G Scott
I think the above quote is so true regarding our own journey of Horsemanship.
I've been working on putting together projects and have been including interviews from students past and present.

Today's Horse Tips

1. Many people focus (and worry) about doing things "right" and don't realize they have quit consistent, regular breathing.
This causes:
* rigid and delayed communication offered to the horse
*mental & physical fatigue
* limits their physical adaptability in the present moment
2. Many people offer constant negative criticism towards the horse (often after he has offered an unwanted response,) rather than communicating what I call Positive Alternatives- continuously communicating proactively something that the horse CAN do.
