As I witness round penning and joining methods as a way to connect with a horse, it seemed strange to me that the horse was forcibly scared into running around in circles in a round-pen, often to the extent of exhaustion.  It didn’t make sense that the horse was given only two choices, continue to look for an escape outside of the round-pen or join with the person whose behavior was frightening.  Yes the trainer dropped their pressure when the horse looked at them which signaled to the horse you got the right answer (horses learn from the RELEASE of Pressure, NOT the Pressure ITSELF ..read more

There’s a fundamental paradigm shift within the horse industry to tone down the forceful methods of horse training and incorporate gentler methods in response to the recognition of the horse’s sentient nature.   As the pendulum swings from the use of force, pain and devices to non-device gentler methods, professionals such as farriers and veterinarians are struggling with ill-mannered horses due to what they refer to as the “pet mentality”.   There’s nothing wrong with your horse being your pet, but as horse owners we have a responsibility to train our horses to respect peo ..read more

The young gelding was a new purchase by a lovely kind-hearted woman that wanted a nice trail horse for her family.  He was a big chestnut Quarter horse about five years old who had extensive training in reining and cutting.  The new owner wanted a natural horsemanship foundation established before she took him home, so he arrived at my barn for a three month program to include trail training. When a new horse arrives at my barn I always perform a thorough examination for injuries and watch closely for any mysterious swellings or soreness that may arise in the first twenty-four hours ..read more

Saturday Night Live’s Bobby Moynihan on set of Brother Nature (Missy provided the horses for the movie) In lieu of devices, violence, and food as trickery, Passive Empowerment is a true empowerment process.  Assertiveness is only needed when danger presents itself, otherwise empowerment is gained by understanding the language of the horse, observation of the horse and communication the horse can understand.  It is not about communicating in a human way or training the horse to understand at the human level, its about communication with the horse using their language and psyche of p ..read more
