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!

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 ...

Preparación para ser atado y el baño

Hola!! Hoy; como les prometí la semana pasada les traigo la primera parte del proceso de cómo preparar los potros y potras para que estén atados en un lugar. Cuando esta situación no se prepara adecuadamente puede terminar en un accidente; pues los caballos jalan y pelean contra la presión que tienen en su cabeza; sentándose hacia atrás de forma violenta al sentirse acorralados y esa experiencia marcara su vida para siempre. Mi opinión personal es que, "abuso", no es solo tratar mal al caballo con castigo, dolor o intimidación. Para mi el no enseñarle al caballo cosas básicas de manejo también es una forma de abuso puesto que el caballo se vera expuesto a situaciones donde simplemente no va a saber cómo reaccionar y su instinto de animal presa va a ser su primera opción. Cuando vemos un comportamiento extremo o peligroso en un caballo, lo natural es preguntarnos : Qué le hicieron a ese caballo? Pero lo que debemos preguntar no es...

Un día con Holandesa!

Un día con Holandesa! Quiero contarles algo muy personal , para mi, trabajar con caballos es una gran experiencia de vida, amo estar y cuidar de estos magníficos animales, compartir con ellos y verlos desarrollarse día a día; es alimento para mi alma. Los caballos aprenden tan rápido y son tan listos que nunca me dejan de sorprender y me motivan a aprender y aplicar nuevas técnicas de entrenamiento, buscando la mejor manera para comunicarme con ellos y eso me hace muy feliz! Espero disfruten de este proceso tanto como yo. Hoy quiero que presten mucha atención en los videos de Holandesa al el hecho de que al leer el lenguaje corporal del caballo y honrarlo; provoca que el animal confíe cada vez más en nosotros. En este video podemos ver que la bolsa plástica no significa ninguna amenaza para la potra. Esa es la meta ! Confianza plena en el humano y en los elementos que el humano presente. Este video me encanta ! Es la demostración de que ...
