Horseback Riding with The Midas Touch
Monday, December 7th, 2009
I have been at a teaching impasse lately. I see riders with no feel in their hands and hurting the horse or not taking a hold of the horse and the horse getting conflicting signals. It is taking forever to try and teach good hands. I don’t want the horses to have to wait “forever”. I’m a bit impatient these days. Pregnant and impatient, that’s me.

Praise Your Horse
Monday, November 23rd, 2009
So many times we are riding and trying to accomplish something and totally forget that the horse needs a pat on the neck once and awhile. If the horse acts sour, it’s probably for a good reason.

A horse can feel a fly on his body, so he can definitely feel your leg.
