Day Two Immersion

The concept of the day was “Get to the Feet”. The idea is easy, talk to the feet and you will get to your horse’s mind.

Connectivity with horses is developed by clear communication and can be easily evaluated in asking “who moves whose feet?”


Having a clear separation between talking to the hind feet and talking to the front feet is critical in developing softness, suppleness and responsiveness.

Having an effective hind quarter yield in place is the foundational key.
Knowing the rein angles and consistently using them helps develop that great partnership we are working towards!

Today was another great day! Watching people gain knowledge and apply principles is so much fun!

I love watching the horses shift and connect more with their riders.

In one of our interactive, Jean Marquand and Thalia Stoddard learned about how it feels for the horse in the bridle. In the video short below, they share difference they felt between the one-rein stop and the two-rein stop.

Thanks for sharing! Thanks to Laurie Fix for the Photos. More can be seen at Laurie’s Smug Mug Site.

I did it! Ozzie and I published!

I did it!  I finally published the story of Ozzie, the horse that changed everything for me!  Ozzie was with me for more than 25 years and is the reason I study horsemanship!  Many of you have met Ozzie, who passed away a year ago.  But few of you know about our early days together.  Ozzie was a challenging horse with a big personality, and I was madly in love with him, even though he was not suitable for me at all.  He would push me and cause chaos wherever he went in his early days.  Thanks to him, I sought out help from a friend who lead me to the path of horsemanship!  And I have never looked back! Don’t forget to get your copy on Amazon.com.
