Fear in the Mind, 
creates stress in the Body

30  May 2019

Before I agree to visit a potential new client, I always ask if the horse has been checked for physical discomfort or blockages.
​Something that should be easily checked with the help of a vet, a farrier, chiropractor, etc.

Freestyle Riding   #2
Follow the horse, not the method

March  2019

There are so many ways out there to teach your horse just about anything. Especially these days with YouTube, Facebook and what not, information seems to be in our grasp every time and every where.

But how do you know if you're making the right decision, when you decide to go and learn something new?
Listening to and looking at your horse with an honest, and open mind are some tips to get you started.

Follow my journey with rescue mare JP, to a bridleless future!

Can horses fool us? 

18 April 2019

Last week I was asked to work with a big gelding, who'd showed some 'dominant' behavior during one of the Volunteer Days at the rescue. But as it turns out, he is not a dominant horse.

Freestyle Riding   #1
Hów exactly do you start?

March 2019

When I was younger, there was only one dream for me: To be able to be 'One' with the use, physically, emotionally, mentally, spiritually. Cantering through the woods without any tack... Some people might say it's a crazy dream to chase, but I just had to pursue my passion! My curiosity lead me towards developing my own concept of 'Freedom", for me and for the horse.

“Dopamine increases our feelings of happiness. Serotonin release is associated with reduced stress.”

How To politely  introduce yourself,  to a horse

January 2019

When I teach a lesson, we don't start with riding. We start by establishing the role of 'Alfa', something that can be done through groundwork. You don't see wild horses riding each other's backs to see who's "boss", right? It all starts from the ground, with the right use of body language and energy.
