Ride Every Step

"All too often, exercises are thought to be the cure for many problems with horses. But exercises typically address the physical. I learned years ago that the mechanical doings of things with horses are the darlings of the how-to-press because they are so one, two, three. Addressing the horse's mind... well, that's a whole different universe traveling in a different orbit from that of the exercise drillsters. Only when a person deliberately or accidentally gets a horse's thought engaged and obtains the horse's focus does an exercise prove truly helpful and produce willingness in a horse."

Jolie has been with me since she was about 11 years old..well, today was her last lesson as she is heading off to college! She has made so much progress, not only in her horsemanship, but with life skills. She came to me because of her lack of confidence...she has grown so much! I wish her the best but I will miss her a lot!
