Well, maybe not that dramatic… This blog is bought to you by a desperate search to find a way to beat the Dunning-Kruger effect WITHOUT getting into really frustrating arguments. I have a slight reputation for being feisty. Total nonense, I am as sweet, fluffy and gentle as they come. I will cut you in…
Perfection doesn’t exist: the constant reassessment of training.
Today I was working on some consent training with Cato. (Consent enables your horse to tell you to stop or carry on- it essentially enables them to control you). He is a total pro at this, and you might wonder why I still do it. The simple reason is, we both get better and better,…

Happy Bucker Mackenzie
A rather lovely story from Happy Bucker Mackenzie: I first started out on the search for gentler horsemanship methods with my first horse Glory.

But if it helps others understand a bit more about Buck You saddles, it will be worth it. The…

Spartacus- FREE TO A GOOD HOME
Spartacus is a very handsome 10.2 shetland gelding. He appeared on the scene in july 2016 after Zion (my o/h) said the immortal words: You should get a shetland. I take suggestions like this very seriously, and within a couple of weeks, Spartacus joined the herd. I found him by searching ‘free to a good…
