Hello. Thank you all for your wonderful comments and kind words recently. It seemed you enjoyed the HorseConscious call on Tuesday as much as I did!
Today, I’d like to talk to you about the rules that horses have with each other. This is extremely important to grasp not just because for me, it is the foundation of what I do but because it is the foundation for all horse interactions.

Hi. Apologies for those of you who were expecting today’s blog post a little earlier. Somehow the day just ran ahead of us, you know how it goes sometimes!
I often get asked what is the best method for training a horse and I think you know me well enough by now to know that I’m not that prescriptive. So, for people who are really confused about all the different rules and methods of training a horse, I want to help you make your choices in deciding which way to turn.

I am not against formulas and lessons in the training of horses and people. I am only against them when they are the only way you go about communicating and the training of horses.
Following formulas blindly, without question and without adjustment, can cause a person to lose their natural leadership ability, which then causes the horse to focus on having to pay attention to the rules rather than focusing on the connection.
I think that it is best for a person to hang around horses and horse trainers to develop a rhythm and a way of being around horses when things are right. I have watched horses being trained by other people for years as one of the many ways I gained my knowledge of horse training. It’s a lot of fun and I can’t think of a faster way to learn how to train a horse than by watching horses in nature and trainers that horses like as a way to develop your skill in the training of horses.
