RANDOM HORSE THOUGHTS

If you learn only methods, you’ll be tied to your methods – but if you learn principles you can devise your own methods”

Look at the way the BHS does things, look at Monty Roberts, Parelli, Jason Webb etc. Learn from them all and use what is necessary for the task / horse you are dealing with.Random Horse Thoughts

Got an issue with your horse? Is he bargy, won’t stand, won’t lead? Are you a little bit afraid of him, or nervous of riding? I offer a holistic approach to horsey problems which may be a therapy such as Reiki or using Essential Oils or may be helping the owner with confidence & training issues.

Don’t let your horse push you around. He does not really want to be ‘in charge’ but if he does not trust you enough he will feel he has to take charge. Basic groundwork exercises can help you become a leader he will happily follow.

If your horse ‘spooks’ when out riding maybe he doesn’t trust you enough to believe you can protect him from the ‘tigers in the trees’. He feels he needs to be the leader and takes charge by running away. Basic groundwork ‘games’ can improve your relationship so that he sees you as his leader and puts his trust in you when out and about.

Happy Hacker? Great! Do you realise you have to be a good, balanced, confident rider for both you and your horse to be happy hacking. And what better way to enjoy time with your horse than being out and about together.

What skills do you think you need to be safe and happy hacking?

Reiki Therapy is very relaxing and calming. It can be especially helpful if a horse needs to recover from trauma, ether physical or emotional, and although generally a ‘hands on’ therapy it can also be given from a distance. I can stand at the stable door and beam the energy to your horse and I can even send healing energy over a long distance if I have a picture to work with.
