Dressage Should Bring Out the Best in Us
It is said that dressage is for the horse, not the horse for dressage. What’s more, dressage is just as much for us! It should bring out the best in both our horses and ourselves. Nazir has really changed a lot since I said… Continue Reading “Dressage Should Bring Out the Best in Us”

True Horsemanship

Girls-Sunday at the Stable
What are the girls up to when one husband is sick and the other husband is out of town and it’s a beautiful, sunny Sunday morning? They go to the stable, of course!
It’s the Little Things…Some Thoughts on How We Train Our Horses
In the past two years I’ve spend a great amount of time teaching my horse the little things that make daily life a lot easier, such as standing still when I mount and having good feeding manners. Quite often we seem to expect that… Continue Reading “It’s the Little Things…Some Thoughts on How We Train Our Horses”
Horses Playing in the Snow
Nothing much has been happening this week at the stable, so I’m posting some photos I took two weeks ago when there was still lots of snow. As it is getting warmer now, everything is rather muddy and dull, not worth taking the camera.… Continue Reading “Horses Playing in the Snow”
