The Best Advice

When it comes to horses, everyone has their "way" of training or taming. When a 'new' person comes along, advice comes in all shapes and sizes and from all directions. Everyone just wants to help. Sometimes, it's overwhelming. So much advice too fast can cause a person to lose their own confidence.

Just like people, every horse has a personality, and a past. They form relationships with other horses and with people. Sometimes they don't like a person and sometimes they love a person.

The best advice I could give, is listen to all the advice everyone gives you. Take what sounds good and let go of the rest. Trust your own instincts and how your horse responds to you. Your the one that needs to feel confident and safe with him/her. Your the one going to be riding.

I personally, probably have the most untrained trained horse out there. All my horses are allowed to express themselves, yet they are expected to have manners. There's a balance.

A New Routine

That's my 'house' {35' 5th wheel}, movin out of the ole place @ the barn and into a storage facility. I can now say a lot of stress is OUT of my life! I really needed to get away from some of the folks there, as they were making life unpleasant and difficult. They didn't make it much better while trying to move either, but at least now I can say it's done. And they are gone!

Everything is moved. Horses are at a new place too. Not sure if they like it or not? Not having the chickens and ducks, only the horses, makes it really different. They get to be horses during the day now with other horses!
