It took me over ten years to complete all eighteen of the original DVD Lessons. The first four were made in the ..read more

It’s the old question – if you were stranded on a desert island what three things would you want to take with you? Here’s my answer: A horse, of course. A very thick notebook. A very reliable pen. With those three things I could be very happy. I would never be bored. Writers write and I am a writer. I always have been. Until very recently, the books you knew me by were training books for horses. But long before I wrote my first training book, “Clicker Training for your Horse”, I was writing children’s books. Three of them, the first in the Kenyon Bear Series were published in the late 1980 ..read more

A New book!! So EXCITING!! I’m delighted to announce the upcoming publication of Sara’s Story – The Bear Nobody Wanted. Sara’s Story is the third book in the Kenyon Bear series. Normally I write about horses and horse training. There is a connection to the Kenyon Bear Books. Those of you who are familiar with my work know that I often refer to the classic children’s story Black Beauty.

In the mainstream, conventional horse world horses are viewed as stupid animals, and because they are stupid ..read more

I just published this week’s Equiosity podcast. This is Part 3 of a three part conversation. In Part 1 we talked about resets – what they are and how they can be used to help horses rebalance so they are more in sync with their handlers. In Part 2 this led to a discussion of shaping on a point of contact, the WWYLM lesson and visualizing your horse as a marching band. In part 3 explore some useful metaphors that help in understanding lateral work. We begin with Merry-Go-Rounds and then move on to railroad tracks. At the very end of the podcast I talk about the connection between the horse tr ..read more
