Learning to Learn, it’s an ART!
Trails Ahead
Now that I have Face book to post pictures and short ride stories, I’m not updated my web page as much. But I hope to make it into an information place so will still keep it updated. Today I notices I had too may winter pictues so I’m changing these. We are starting to ride a lot. Trails are still drying but we love to ride so much we just go out and do it anywhere. So this weekend watch out neighborhoods, we are coming Through!
Horses and people are not as different when it come to learning as some folks might believe. In order to learn we must understand what it is being presented. We have to be able to understand and have a reason to want to know it. Now reasons can very, maybe it makes life easier, maybe it leads to better food or maybe its just fun. If learning can touch on all those reasons, then both horse and person will probable learn to learn better.
Hold on to your horses, hills are fun
This summer I am going to be expanding both horses and humans minds (hopefully) with new information and understanding. Creating desire to learn more and get out and do more. For my own education and that of the horses and folks I come in contact with, I’m starting a new study on the Dorrance Bothers. They were last century master Horseman who took the time needed to learn what the horse needed to learn. They shared what they knew with the horse’s owner or rider. They were gentle and figured things out for each horses, not using a Cookie cutter recipe to solve problems. This is what I want to accomplish with my horses and training, both with people and horses. Develop Relationships where the horses want to work with us and where the people gain confident that they really can have a partnership with their horse.
My goal has always been to have fun and help people understand horses but
Last Year's Bath, time for another!
now I’ve got some new mentors to read and study too. Wish I could have meet these bothers, Tom and Bill, for they sound like my type of horseman. Not English or Western, Just Horse!
Well its time for us to start some Horse Improvement Classes. These are for friends who want to better themselves and their horses through riding and having fun. My major themes include confident building and “feeling” your horse. We will do it at both my place and on the trials. I’ve had all winter to think up new stuff and now I’m ready to get started.
See you at the Parade of Stallions! Mother’s Day, 12 noon! Pathfinder is getting ready for another Bath!
A weekend from Heaven
OK, maybe some people wouldn’t agree but for some, it was FUN. We trailered around to different places just so we could get out and ride since the roads around here are finally pretty ice and the trail pretty well blocked off with snow. Today, Monday it was zero again when I feed, so I though it was a good time to write another story and of course put lots of the weekend riding pictures in it! We had open water, some road riding, hills and of course plenty of snow.
It was nice to see Different Trees! And Mountains and well, everything.
So I’m going to write the story now, before the kids get here, some are actually on Spring Break this week, and the rest get Spring Break Next Week!
OPPS I ended up just posting the pictures on FB with comments on each one. So go to EZ Walking Stables Face book bag and check it out.
