UNDER PRESSURE Pressure…. we all experience it, horses pressure each other, there is pressure no matter how gently we ride, there is pressure when we sit on our horses, when we use reins, right? BIG FAT WRONG. This is a very quick blog to explain: The difference between PRESSURE and TOUCH Why you DON’T need…
WHIP IT OUT FOR JANUARY!
Happy new year you bunch of cute pony lovers! So, time for all sorts of resolutions and whatnot. I am going to ask you to try something. For one month. And after that month, I hope you will have learned some things, have greater understanding, new insights- all that jazz. I want you……
What you aren’t seeing. How something can look oh so lovely and nice.. but it isn’t.
Recently, I rather got into it with some people, as I put out a post on facebook commenting on the disconnect between the words used (something about love and connection) and the picture (horses with mouths strapped around bits, riders carrying whips.). To me, that’s not what love looks like. Now, i don’t doubt for…

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. Having quite an interesting relationship, falling off in a pretty regular basis and a whole host of other things, someone reached out to me and gave me quite a bit…
Happy Buckers Chrissy and Billy (and an inflatable watermelon…)
Well people, it’s been a frustrating task getting this blog written which I promised Vikki some days ago now.

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