The Wonderful World of Mares

mares connection leadership
Mares are different from their male counterparts. Some folks praise mares and some folks don't want to have anything to do with them. But a mare can capture your heart. And you can have theirs too. However, it is entirely possible to avoid confrontation with a mare and to make arguments a thing of the past. We can also have very personal and devoted relationships with mares. It just takes some understanding. In this webinar, we'll dig in to a mare's psyche, explain why mares do what they do, and give you the tools to develop a deep, lasting and intimate connection.

Matching Horses and Owners

owners connection relationships
When is the horse the right horse for you? Struggling with a horse? Is it the right horse for you? Shopping for a new horse? Maybe you think you've found your heart horse, but the riding isn't going the way you want. You might feel your horse doesn't like you or perhaps you're not taking a shine to them either. Perhaps you feel your horse is too much for you. You might be thinking, "Is this horse really for me?" Most times we can work these things out, we just need to know what to do. You might be horse shopping. What are you looking for? What else do you need to consider other than how the horse shows in the ring and passes a vet check? We'll go through some solid reasoning to help you make a decision on whether to find your horse a new home, jump in with a renewed spirit, or buy or pass on that horse you're looking at. A great session full of firsthand stories.

Is Your Horse Into It?

relationships partnership connection
Does your horse enjoy what you're doing? Does it matter? Sometimes it seems like we're struggling with a horse because they just don't seem to be "into it". What can we do about that? Is it important that our horse be engaged with what we're asking them to do? Or should they just do it? In this webinar we're going to explore some thoughts behind a partnership with a horse, how to make it beneficial from their perspective and what kinds of changes a focus on your horse's interests can produce.

Play: How to Deepen your Connection

play connection
Engaging with your horse is an important and proactive part of horsemanship. Engaging with horses doesn't mean work. Even when we're practicing and developing through physical exercises, our time together should be mutually enriching. Whatever we do should have a component for the horse. Relationship building with a horse involves more than simply training or riding. In fact, in my own practice, I engage with horses on their terms: in their pasture. Playing games they enjoy. Demonstrating that I can be a part of their herd as much as I want them to be a part of mine. Putting time into those extra-curricular activities is very productive. When we're playing, we're learning about each other. We're developing a relationship. We build trust. We discover we can laugh together and enjoy each other's company outside of what can sometimes seem like a rigid set of training parameters. And the relationship we build through play builds a connection that we take into riding. Let's check out some things we can do to take our relationship to the next level!
