Full Spectrum Equestrian

this is so true. part of what we do here is to find the triggers and work through them one by one. some can't ever be solved, they are too deep. in this case, I show the horse where to go and that I will protect him in that place. this is a lovely post. strive to be the rock for your horse and you will have someone watching your back forever <3

so so true for me

The sweet "Eden" she needs some rehab but her gorgeous personality makes her a worthwhile project

this is worth the read and sums up the way I practice with both my human and equine partners <3

I cannot resist sharing this. those who know me know that I follow the classical teachings and I know I talk about colonel Podhajski too often. the below post is why. his words echo those of all great horse people I have met or read in this life. doesn't matter the discipline good horse people know that the horse is a living, thinking being. respect them and the sky is the limit. "Contrary to what is often said the horse is an intelligent being and just as sensitive to in...justice as we humans are. People who call the horse a stupid animal have never understood him. To them he is just an instrument. It goes without saying that among horses there are more or less intelligent ones just as among human beings. Every rider should bear this important fact in mind.

What’s your favourite Liesl fact or story? We all know these two legs & how much power they hold. Liesl is the wind beneath our wings, the grounding tree, our guide, mentor & teacher, has been there for many of our baby steps & will continue to be there for our big ones too.... Each and everyday she shows up for her four & two legged family all while fighting battles of her own. The connection between human & horse is something like no other in this herd. Her strength, resiliency, compassion, & innate ability to kick our booties into ship shape are just a few of the qualities we love about her. #yyj #yyjfarm #horsesofinsta #grounded #fearlessleader #yyjfarmlife #farmlife #horsebackrider #victoriabc #yyjlocal #powerfulwoman #leadmare #arabianhorses #ariatboots #flannelonflannel #horsebackridinglessons #windbeneathmywings #wearefamily #farmfamily
