<div id="attachment_2524" class="wp-caption alignright" style="width: 310px"><a href="http://akwalkers.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/04/PTDC0021.jpg"><img class="size-medium wp-image-2524" title="PTDC0021" src="http://akwalkers.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/04/PTDC0021-300x225.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="225" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Trails Ahead</p></div>
<p>Now that I have Face book to post pictures and short ride stories,  I&#8217;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&#8217;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!</p>
<p>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.</p>
<div id="attachment_2525" class="wp-caption alignleft" style="width: 310px"><a href="http://akwalkers.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/04/PTDC0023.jpg"><img class="size-medium wp-image-2525" title="PTDC0023" src="http://akwalkers.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/04/PTDC0023-300x225.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="225" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Hold on to your horses, hills are fun</p></div>
<p>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&#8217;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&#8217;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.</p>
<p>My goal has always been to have fun and help people understand horses but</p>
<div id="attachment_2526" class="wp-caption alignright" style="width: 310px"><a href="http://akwalkers.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/04/that-bath.jpg"><img class="size-medium wp-image-2526" title="that bath" src="http://akwalkers.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/04/that-bath-300x224.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="224" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Last Year&#39;s Bath, time for another!</p></div>
<p>now I&#8217;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!</p>
<p>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 &#8220;feeling&#8221; your horse.    We will do it at both my place and on the trials. I&#8217;ve had all winter to think up new stuff and now I&#8217;m ready to get started.</p>
<p>See you at the Parade of Stallions! Mother&#8217;s Day, 12 noon! Pathfinder is getting ready for another Bath!</p>

<p><a href="http://akwalkers.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/03/DSCN0096.jpg"><img class="alignright size-medium wp-image-2484" title="DSCN0096" src="http://akwalkers.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/03/DSCN0096-300x225.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="225" /></a>It was nice to see Different Trees! And Mountains and  well, everything.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>So I&#8217;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!</p>
<p>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.</p>

<p><strong>A comment from one of my students the other day just about says it all.</strong><strong>&#8220;I didn&#8217;t know  all the things I don&#8217;t Know!&#8221; (she was talking about riding)</strong></p>
<p>Well that&#8217;s it for now. I might add and update more of my pages soon&#8230;.. <span style="color: #ff6600;"><span style="font-size: large;"><strong>So Remember, Ride today for you might not get to tomorrow.</strong></span></span></p>

</span></strong></span></p>
<p><a href="http://akwalkers.com/wp-content/uploads/2007/12/Big-Peters-Creek-3-9-18-11.jpg"><img class="alignleft" title="sarah and bandit" src="http://akwalkers.com/wp-content/uploads/2007/12/sarah-and-bandit-300x225.jpg" alt="" width="247" height="185" /></a>We enjoy sharing our horses with folks who are not as lucky but would love to share the love affair we all have with horses.  We do this by getting people involved with the horses.<strong><a href="http://akwalkers.com/wp-content/uploads/2007/12/Yellows.jpg"><img class="alignright" title="Yellows" src="http://akwalkers.com/wp-content/uploads/2007/12/Yellows-300x225.jpg" alt="" width="238" height="178" /></a></strong></p>
<p>Grooming, Riding, Cleaning, Doctoring, Loving, all in a day&#8217;s lesson.  Our training grounds is mostly the wide outdoors.  We teach riding by doing it. Going though the woods on winding trails, staying intone to your horse, relaxing, learning what to do when boggymen come calling.  All in a day&#8217;s ride.</p>
<p>I&#8217;ve been told, I  have just about the sweetest herd of horses around.  This is due to good training on both horses and humans.  We train both to become thinking partners and both appreciate it.  Now we always have to  have a leader, and I prefer the human to be that leader (though sometimes the horse might be the better choice).</p>
<p><em><strong><em><strong><img class="alignleft" title="046" src="http://akwalkers.com/wp-content/uploads/2007/12/046-300x224.jpg" alt="046" width="207" height="154" /></strong></em></strong></em>                If you would like to just learn about horses, ride out on trails and enjoy this beautiful place we call home, give Deb a call (745-0804).  I work with all ages and abilities.</p>
<p><span style="font-style: italic;"><span style="font-weight: bold;">It</span></span><strong><em> can be scary at any age to learn to ride and control a horse.</em></strong> <strong>They are big, </strong><strong>BEAUTIFUL, </strong><strong>powerful,  animals with</strong><strong> a mi</strong><strong>nd of their own. Our goal at EZ Walking stables is to help horses by </strong><strong>educating their riders.<br />
</strong></p>
<p><span style="color: #000080;">Students/New owners need support in order to obtain success with their horse partner</span>.  <span style="color: #000080;">I want folks to be as successful with horses and have as wonderful of time as I have.  So I teach how to res</span><span style="color: #000080;">pect the horse and earn his respect too.  It is difficult for some people to trust a horse and even more difficult for a horse to trust them.  My plan has the horse teaching. From the horse, you learn horse patience, trust, respect and how to communicate. After the first few lessons, then you have the basics and now just need </span><span style="color: #000080;">ride to perfect your communicate skills with the horse. </span></p>
<p>On this site, we plan to provide numerous horse related help items. Since horses aren&#8217;t allow to use the Internet very often, they need your help to utilize this information. <em><em>Owning a horse can be a large investment but we can make it an enjoyable and positive one.</em></em></p>
<p><img class="alignleft size-thumbnail wp-image-543" style="float: left;" title="roundpen-work" src="http://akwalkers.com/wp-content/uploads/2007/12/roundpen-work-150x150.jpg" alt="roundpen-work" width="150" height="150" />Don&#8217;t Be caught Standing Around this year</p>
<p>Get out and make Memories</p>
<p><em><strong>Ride a Beautiful TN Walking Horse in the Great Alaska Outdoors and </strong></em></p>
<p><strong><em><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #993366;">Have the time of your life.</span></span></em></strong></p>

<p><span style="border-style: solid; border-color: #3808f6; font-family: comic sans ms,sand; color: #3366ff;">There are cute story posted under Barn Stories</span></p>
<p>Here at EZ stables, we ride for pleasure. Everything we do with the horse is for pleasure, this includes our training. If the horse is having fun learning, then its fun for us to. Horses should not be expected to act like a robot, instead, he should be educated that working with humans can be exciting and interesting. Thus we try and develop working partnerships will all our horses and owners. This ensures that we are all having fun, and getting the most pleasure possible from our horses.</p>
<p><a href="http://akwalkers.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/07/here-we-go.jpg"><img class="size-medium wp-image-291 alignleft" style="border: 4px solid black; margin: 5px;" title="here-we-go" src="http://akwalkers.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/07/here-we-go-300x224.jpg" alt="" width="229" height="173" /></a></p>
<p>So if you want to get the most out of your horse on the trail or out for a simple pleasure ride, Deb at EZ Stables is who you should speak with. Come by the barn, see how every horse on the place is happy and wants to be with people. Horses are wonderful friends and if you want to experience, this the call or write today.</p>
<p><span style="font-size: medium;">Remember </span><strong><em><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium; text-decoration: underline;">Every</span><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman';"><span style="font-size: medium;"> time you are around, your horse is learning!</span> </span></em></strong></p>
