Best Laid Plans- ooops

Winter Workshops in Central Oregon "Best laid plans of mice and men"... well, in our case- Chris and Lucinda. I have been contacted by many people interested in the 6 upcoming Winter Workshops here in Bend. There's been a bit of confusion with folks asking if they have to attend all 6. Let me be clear- each workshop is a standalone e...

Hi Friends,

We all want to know more about our equine companions- How they function, and Why they behave as they do. We've all felt that if we just knew what they were thinking, then we'd be able to work with them more effectively.

It all revolves around the transition from "loving on them" to "asking them to do something".

Understanding is the key- and helps with any training methodology.

This is what my work is all about and I really enjoy sharing.

Back to Basics

Knowledge That Connects. Experiences That Transform. The center of our understanding of horses lies in knowing of how and why they move through the world. They feel the world through their senses and respond from a place shaped by emotional memory and instinct. "Every day we are asking our horse to bring their vulnerability into the unknown" (C.Irwin)...

Pulling or jerking on the reins. My back hurts.

Today I had the pleasure to learn from @gerd_heuschmann 👩‍🎓🤝🏽 Gerd Heuschmann, veterinarian and equine biomechanics specialist, reveals how incorrect training methods disrupt a horse’s natural movement and damage its musculoskeletal system. His research proves that techniques like rollkur cause pathological changes in the spine, soft tissues, and joints, leading to long-term unsoundness. Applying his findings allows riders to train in harmony with the horse’s anatomy, improving both performance and longevity. #rollkur #gerdheuschmann #horses #showjumping #horserider
