Back in the Saddle, Stella

-
Well last night, after sneaking our way past the stallion, Stella and I had some cuddles and some general loving before I decided to get brave. She's such a sweetheart it's impossible not to want to ride her. However, she is insanely strong and my last horse shattered my confidence, so I have been a little dubious about doing any more than walking around on her. 
Lst night I randomly decided that I wanted to get my mojo back and enjoy my riding again. So we tacked up and went to the school. Half an hour later we were cantering happily on both reins and popping the world's smallest cross pole..... Safe to say she is a little nervous of her jumping but if you talk to her and encourage her she flies.... literally. She definitely has scope!!  Sadly there are no pics of her jumping as we only did it twice as she isn't overly fit. 
The boyfriend was too busy watching to remember to film it!!
Nevertheless, we were all very happy with the outcome and she is still slowly becoming more relaxed under saddle.



Speaking of which, for someone that 'thinks horses are a waste of money' He was pretty keen to sit on.... and then ride off with my girl!!
Two days in a row he has been on board now, Stella last night and Louis the night before.
Seems like I have competition!!
I think Stella found all of it quite amusing and she looked after him impeccably!!
Hoping to get another ride in tonight too, Ive got the bug back!!

So being the insanely graceful human being that I am I managed to fall down my steps the other day, spectacularly.  So with my arm not broke (whoop), but all strapped up with ligament damage. Safe to say I was lucky. Its sore and irritating but it's done now so I'm simply on a mission to try and get it sorted asap, lots of using it gently and building it all back up.  Also in the land of me being brave this week, as part of my 'sort yourself out' campaign, I managed to get myself to a dentist this week.  This is something that literally terrifies me, and I haven't been for years, consequently, there is a lot to do, but like my horses, it's going to be done in small manageable steps.  If I expect my horses to face fears and learn then it's only fair that I expect the same from myself. Also, I have finally put the deposit down on my course to study equine sports massage.  I really want to build a career within the equine industry and I plan to

But I love him too much to tell him off - Mini Rant!

Such a common thing to hear. I love him/her, I don't want to tell them off. The lack of discipline that comes with spoilt horses never fails to amaze me. And frustrate me.  There is nothing that I can do to make people put boundaries in place, but I personally believe that just like we should respect our horses, our horses should also have respect for us.  Now that's not to say I think they should be beaten into submission, or battered when they do something wrong. Quite the opposite My view on leadership is this. If you take the responsibility away from your horse, they feel safe.  You manage the danger. You decide what is safe and they trust you. But with that, you need respect both ways. A lead mare does not keep her position by simply grooming everyone in her herd.  A stallion does not keep his mares by doing nothing.  Leadership is earned, Respect is earned. It comes with Discipline.   For example, If my horse pushed past me and blunders in

"He's impossible, stubborn and nothing works" Once upon a time, I was told this about a horse that refused to load, and for me, this was where a lot of my inspiration came from.  The horse in question did appear stubborn, no amount of tugging, pushing, pulling, feed or lunge lines would get him to load if he didn't want to. Yet watching him in the field showed that he was incredibly intelligent. Taking off his rugs with all straps done up, opening gates, opening stable doors.  It was clear to see he was a horse that liked thinking but didn't like pressure. Therefore I decided to give something else a go.  I turned the task of loading him into a puzzle, something that he had to work out, for his own gain.  A game if you like.  He didn't like going onto the lorry, but he did like coming off. He also liked to think that he knew what was coming next.  This was where he gained the upper hand. For me this was what I was seeing from him:
