The purpose of my blog is to make a connection with you, so we can explore and correspond with one another on the experiences we’re having with our horses in our life!

I also use the blog as a way, to educate, to raise consciousness, and for philosophical viewpoints that will lead to a better relationship with your horse; for training, partnering, and performance.

The blog is also here to help support people who are learning my method through the educational material I offer and the coaching that I share. Feel free to ask questions on horse behavior, pecking order, leadership, self-realization, meditation, and the training and performance of horses. I may choose your question and answer it today, or I may choose it for a blog topic for a later date. Of course I can’t answer everyone’s questions, but I will read all your comments and choose several questions to answer.

I look forward to dialoging on the subject of what creates a better connection with a horse. Enjoy!

In all of my years of being wildly attracted to horses, training them for show and having them serve me in some way; I used horses to always guide me in my approach in how to communicate with them through getting their approval as well as their performance.  It was always a spiritual journey for me.  From approaching horses this way, I discovered that horses liked where I was coming from and showed it through their willingness to be trained and to perform. When they didn’t, I knew my responsibility was to let them do what they wanted to do, which always led me on to some new awareness and growth in myself.  I learned at these times that I loved horses completely for who they were.  This awareness was very valuable and further deepened my understanding of the importance of sharing a cross-species bond with a horse.

I discovered that working with horses was boiling down to moral issues of leadership. And from that I noticed a universal code that kept coming up all the time while communicating with animals. I also discovered that in the human world, this code was the same. There is a way to … Read more

Animal Planet…

This morning I woke up early and I watched a TV show on orangutans. It was all about the things I had observed about the pecking order of horses. I got very excited! They spoke about all of it, all the things that I had discovered in natural horse bands in the wild. On this show, they spoke of the misguided strength of the youth, attitude, responsibility and there being a “self appointed cop” to the community that did not get into pecking order games. They only took care to balance out the unjust … Read more

I want people to take more time to train horses in how to communicate with humans before we go to conventional ways of training. It is easier on the horse, and easier on the human. What happens when you take time to create a communication system and cross spices bond- is that all training methods are picked up by the horse easily. From the connection you share with your horse-there is no need for reprimand or insistence on performance which can lead to abuse.

I hope you can join my online class coming up August 28, 2011. Although the Insider Circle is sold out, there are still a FEW SEATS available in the Extended Circle Class- which is a great opportunity. I look forward to getting to know each of you and coaching you and your horse!

The purpose of the Insider Circle and Extended Circle online courses is to develop a cross species bond that creates your horses’ interest to follow your lead, learn new behaviors, and have an optimistic attitude when you go to ride your horse. This special bond will remove resistance, bad attitude, and unwanted behaviors like bolting, biting, kicking, shying, and running away.

Learning To Develop Positive Attitudes…Not One, But Five!

Once you have this cross species bond when you ride, it will be an enjoyable experience for you both. Your horse will be willing to follow your lead and have a sense of well being because of the trust and respect he has for you. How you create this magical relationship is by developing five positive attitudes in your horse and in yourself. These attitudes are to have a deep bond, trust, respect, willingness, and attention on each other. The connection you create from these attitudes will give you a perfect dancing partner. Having these attitudes your horse will be able to read your mind and understand your communication that is going to surprise you. These attitudes are created from five simple interactions at liberty you share with your horse daily. … Read more
