Cool.... :) Thanks for the input.... I agree, just hadn't ever asked the question before.... Oliver is my horse, but my trainer gave him to me so I am respectful of his relationship too and my horse loves him loves him loves him... :)
You brought up a point that I think is probably one of the most important aspects of training. Does the trainer have the ability to look at a whole picture, and break it down into simple parts for correction? You're right-the student will learn a lo…
Oliver belongs to you, and you have a right to have the type of relationship you want with him. Horses, I believe, are more resilient than we give them credit for. They can adapt very well to different styles of riding and people, and in my experien…
I hadn't thought of that, but your point is probably one of the most important aspects of good training. Trying to fix everything at once gets you nowhere. Working on one thing at a time is a more solid way to go.
What do you guys think about this? Let's say you have a trainer, like I do..... but you don't know how to train your horse like he does? What if let's say you think your horse would like clicker training.... if you try something else with your horse…
Changes with time... my trainer works on whatever we need to do next.... he knows how to so many different things. :) The most important thing? hmmmmmm....... that is a loaded question. For 4 years he's trained me and my horse... I know what I don't…
Adherence to classical technique and the ability to communicate correction one at a time. a trainer that tries to fix the whole picture gets nowhere, but the trainer that focuses on one aspect to improve at a time will get their student somewhere fa…
I like the Frontrunner feeds, especially their phase one (16%) or phase two (14%) pellets. Either one is good for putting weight on a horse. Both contain brewers yeast which is good for digestion. I used to use calf manna but have been so pleased wi…
Hey up Heidi!!
Hope this finds you and yours well and enjoying all good things!!
I'm just replying to your Thread about the horses being stuck in the trailer for over 40 hours.
...I'd love to know how THAT happened.
But anyway ... your thread led me here ... and now I'm peeking at the 3 pictures you have posted ... is that first one an example of your art?? ... if so ... WOW!!

Hello! Have you seen Jean Francois Pignon and his lovely horses and ponies? They are ALL 'at one with each other'... INSPIRING...check him out...HAPPY CHRISTMAS AND NEW YEAR TO ALL...
During this sequence it is fascinating the watch this young horse playing with the biomechanical properties of his vertebral column. When the back muscles properly convert the thrust generated by the hind legs into horizontal forces, (forward moveme…
Well, I don't mind admiting when a horse has the better of me, and this one certainly did!! It was a hard day of riding this tricky horse , and he got the best me on more than one occasion. As you can see in the photo , he's a mighty beast and will…
Kleng, an 18-year-old Norwegian Fjord horse who has carried hundreds of disabled riders on his strong back over the years at the NorthWest Therapeutic Riding Centre outside Bellingham, Washington, has been honoured for his work.
A $US10,000 reward is being offered by the Bureau of Land Management for information leading to the arrest and conviction of those responsible for killing six wild horses in northern Washoe County, Nevada, in early December.
