Starting again! Welcome 2020

Starting again! Welcome 2021; with all the positivism that I have

(and the people that know me know it is a lot!) I wish you all a wonderful new year full of good health; healthy relationships filled with affection, support and solidarity; personal growth and achievements with your horses.

All beginnings allow us the opportunity to do things better and to apply what we have learned.

Horses are wonderful creatures, every second that we are with them they are teaching us. They have survived thousands of million of years thanks to their great ability to adapt; 2020 was a difficult year, complicated and full of tough challenges. But thanks to the experience we have been able to learn, develop and practice our ability to adapt ( we have learned so much!)

I am enthusiastic about the possibility of seeing you during 2021 in my virtual courses and soon in-person in my clases and clinics.

This year I will be launching my website where it will be easier to find all the information you are interested in. It will also include many gifts for those that enjoy learning new or different ways to develop the relationship and communication we wish to achieve with our horses.

In addition to: The 7 Games and Horsenalities I will be offering the new virtual course “ The Secret of Connection” in which we will dig deeply into developing the invisible connection with which we bond with our horse and trully become their companion and friend.

I will be offering in-person dressage classes and clinics on “ Seat and Core” in order to improve your riding, being more aware of your body and developing corporal balance .

Through my blog I will be keeping you updated as to the development of the yearlings and young horses which will be making their debut in dressage this year in addition to giving you pointers and solutions on how to solve handling issues along with other topics in order to continue learning and growing together!

Día de Spray !

Día de Spray! Hola! Muchas gracias por todos los emails y comentarios que he recibido; me alegra muchísimo saber que el tema de este blog les ha gustado y que quieren ver más. El tema de esta semana es la introducción al spray ; les voy a presentar a Hakasan y también veremos a Holandesa. Ser consientes de nuestro comportamiento es uno de los primeros pasos que debemos dar para ser efectivos y estar seguros cuando tratamos con animales tan sensibles como lo son los caballos. Aunque tengamos las mejores intensiones en muchas ocasiones se nos olvida que estamos tratando con un animal presa. Los humanos pensamos erróneamente que la única percepción del mundo es la nuestra; no entendemos que algo que para nosotros puede ser inofensivo a un caballo puede causarle una reacción de terror. Debemos recordar que los sentidos de los caballos son mucho más desarrollados que el de los humanos y que por su naturaleza los caballos van a huir a cualquier cosa que sea desconocida. ...

Preparándolos para la vida

Hola! En marzo tuve la visita de mis amigos Carlos y Anahi que vinieron a pasar una semana desde Perú. Usualmente en este curso semanal se reciben clases diarias y los estudiantes me acompañan durante todo el día observando e interactuando en diferentes actividades. Por las tardes siempre trato de pasar un buen rato trabajando con los potros ; los bebés como les llamo yo ! Después de unos días Carlos y Anahi empezaron a ayudarnos con potros y me sugirieron documentarlo ! Así es que este blog es gracias a ellos! Los invito a acompañarme a desarrollar los 7 potros de un año. A esta edad están listos para aprender cosas nuevas y no hay tiempo que perder! Vamos a incluir en su rutina diaria el aprendizaje que los convertirá en caballos seguros y fáciles de manejar, con buenos modales y una respuesta positiva a la presión que ejercen los procedimientos del manejo y sa...

Getting Ready for Deworming

Getting Ready for Deworming Hi! Thank you for being here this week! How many times have we all tried to deworm our horses or give them oral medications which turned into a struggle and we end up resorting to force? Administering any type of liquid or paste medication like a dewormer can be a challenge if we do not prepare the horse previously. For us, or better yet, from our perspective it is something so “simple” and we assume that it should also be this way to the horse- he should accept this with no problems! When the horse resists we resort to force, this turns into an uncomfortable procedure for both the person doing the administering and the horse and we end up not knowing for sure how much of the recommended dose the horse has actually received. Today I would like to share the process we use in order to prepare our colts to accept anything we administer orally without resistance and calmly . The procedure is easy ! Pat has a ...
