The Joy of Horses

I excel at teaching how to have a great partnership, confidence with obstacles and building liberty.

Invest in some lessons for you and your horse and become a much better partner to emotionally and physically support the confidence building that needs to happen in order for them to become more successful. About an hour of training here. Before and after.

I can’t tell you how hard I’ve worked for this. I don’t use tying up a leg or force just a lot of suggestion. A lot of queues on the legs in his case.  I think we’ve got it now, but it sure didn’t come easy. Hard work works! So proud of him for finally doing it. So proud of me for keeping my patience. I have a lot of patience, but this surely was a test of it.

Amazing week I have had! So many new tools and ideas to add to my tool box. Kayleigh from Braveheart Beasts is beyond amazing. I’m so proud of the time we shared together and the future of opportunities I have before me. My work will slowly be presented as we progress forward over the next few months! I’m so excited for the future!

Thank you Kayleigh.
