Sensitive Horses - Bridling, Cinches, Ears, etc.

sensitive horses anxiety fear colt starting
Many times horses struggle with everyday items and tasks. These struggles are commonly attributed to physical issues: a problem with their teeth, an ulcer, something being 'out'. While that might be the case - and we always want our horses to be free of physical pain, the fact is that the issue can be a mental struggle. This can be an association with discomfort. A previous negative experience. A sensation that they've never liked and over time, has grown into a problem because it's never been addressed. Let's fix that. Learn some techniques in a positive style of horsemanship that allows your horse to overcome these issues and at the same time build a trusted connection.

Zeus - Working with Wildies

wild horses zeus
Join me in a discussion about Zeus. He's a wild horse that was a stallion in the wild for over 10 years. In this session, we work with Zeus and have some very meaningful discussions about what I've discovered as I work with him, including - left-side dominance - backing up - meeting the horse's needs - working with what the horse requires instead of a linear training progression - exploring the horse's relational needs outside the training environment - and much more, all in the context of relational horsemanship.

Trail Riding Part 1 : Zeus

trail riding wild horses
Part One This show touches on two different projects at Amazing Horse Country. One is our Trail Riding Series. This will be Zeus's first time on the trail - with humans, that is - and we're excited. We'll look at steps we can take to get a new horse comfortable with the trail. The second project is "Zeus - Life with a Wild Horse" and we'd like to continue that series with this show as well. Zeus's age is likely around 17. I've had him for 5 years now and in that time we've built a very unique relationship. He has changed from being very guarded to very open and honest. My journey with him has been a personal exploration of vulnerability and inner peace. We share a lot of laughs together and now I'd like to take that relationship a step further in the riding.
