Today is the day Gold will remember as the first time a crazy human sat on her back! Mark your calendar! I rode Gold for the first time today and she did very well. My goal is to preserve her natural intelligence and sensitivity, so I didn’t push it. She listened to aids and backed up nicely, but got a …
So today the sun came out, no clouds were to be seen and the breeze was gentle. Finally good weather! I leaped out of bed in the morning and immediately went outside to make the most of it. In Tasmania, I’ve learned, the weather switches dramatically at the drop of a hat. I saddled Gold and Pearl for the second …

Up to this point, all of the horses here in Tasmania, Australia have worn the Parelli Bareback Pad. Now they are at the point where it doesn’t bother them anymore, so today I moved on and introduced them to a good ol’ western saddle (back-cinch and all). One mare has already been ridden in it multiple times, but today one …

Would she be happy with how you are working with her child (fair, deliberate and graceful?)? Would your mom be proud of you and think, “That’s my kid!” I always like to keep this …

I always tell people, when a situation gets a bit tense with an animal, or feelings of frustration and impatience arise, to start humming. Or go all out and sing! Take a singing break. Do it. It’s fun. Why? Humming, singing, whistling… all of these things cause us to breathe, relax and get a bit distracted. You will feel your …

In a previous post I mentioned that I would be in Tasmania, Australia for 2 months starting some horses under saddle. That time is now! I’ve already been here for about 10 days and rode one of the Appaloosas, Lace, for the first time yesterday! Time has been flying by and I wish I could’ve found the time to write …
