Today I had a short session with Bliss. I worked on tying in a new place, touch acceptance on her legs, picking up her hooves, and cleaning and rasping her front hooves. She still needs work on picking up her back hooves, mostly due to learning to balance them. I used scratches and currying as...

This came up on my FB feed today, so I thought I would share for anyone that is interested ❤️🍪🐴 https://www.horsetricks101.com/2015/10/teach-your-horse-treat-manners/ https://www.horsetricks101.com/2010/06/horse-trick-training-some-tips-when-feeding-treats/...

Oh my, no more miniature breed shows? Will you still be keeping your breeding stock miniatures?

The pictures didn't come through. I personally wouldn't mess with him when he is eating his grain. He is resource guarding, and adding a punishment will just create fear when this guy already has fear issues. Is there any reason why your daughter wants to mess with him or enter the stall during...

They are so adorable 🥰

Today was a really fun day. The weather was perfect, warm with a slight cool breeze. I started by working with Bliss on calm default while tied, targeting, and staying relaxed. Standing still while being tied is still hard for her, but she is getting better. Who can blame her? She is a ten month...

I walked with Bliss for 45 minutes today 🌅🌳🐎

Ella turned 15 today ❤️🎂

Birthday girl pictures from her grazing walk 💖🐴🎂

Today I had a quick session with Bliss, and then I took Ella on a long grazing walk for her birthday, which is her favorite thing to do. I reintroduced Bliss to the target, which she remembered quickly and quite enjoyed getting treats for touching it this time verses just scratches. I was able...

Happy Birthday to Caballero's Elegant Beauty (Ella)! She turns 15 years old today 🎉🎂❤️

Just in case anyone is interested, the Miniature Horse Community group on FB is about to do a free book club with discussions on the Connection Training Book. ❤️ I will be taking part, but won't be able to be live for the discussions due to church. The discussions will be available to view...

Today was absolutely beautiful. So warm and sunny! Perfect day for relaxing with the ponies. I cleaned the dry part of the pasture really well, then took Bliss out for training. We reviewed calm default before adding duration on the behavior up to five seconds, then I also practiced calm default...
