Leaving training until it's too late

This was a truly engaging experience; our conversation was so rich and expansive that we inadvertently left numerous topics untouched. I eagerly anticipate our next discussion.

To my loyal listeners, I guarantee the raw and unfiltered insights you've come to expect. I'm thrilled for you to hear from my very first guest, an individual whose influence and inspiration knows no bounds.

Her journey defies the conventional constraints of age, showcasing remarkable success and a spirit of friendship I deeply value. Her dedication to equine welfare, through the innovative saddle system she pioneered, has garnered acclaim not only from riders but from the horses themselves—a testament to its efficacy.

I am inspired by the vision she holds for her company's future, boldly challenging traditional norms and ensuring the utmost comfort for horses with their products. This is a journey of innovation and compassion, promising a brighter future for equine care ♥

It IS difficult because we live in a world where we are fed instant gratification and instant dopamine kicks. 
So what we have got to do is be careful we ae not doing the same in our horse training.

It is actually the mundane tasks, training and moments that get the most neglected because we are wanting and needing the fix of having things now.

I can tell you right now, this does not work with horses. 
It might look like it for a minute or give you a temporary fix, but in the end it will either bite your on the butt later or the horse will suffer the consequences in one way or another.

Why not have a listen, and see if you get what I mean and can perhaps think abut that whilst working/playing/training with your horses ♥

• Do you find yourself in the situation of having to keep telling your horse but not getting any results?
• Do you understand that telling is very different to teaching (educating & communicating)?
• Did you know that if you teach behind your telling that you can achieve the desired out come and will not have to tell them anymore?

Listen in where I hope some coins drop and maybe you can start to think about your training in general and what your expectations are. 

It could be a game changer ♥

Many know it, yet they still do it!
Why is that?
 
I question these kind of subjects because as an educator and for the horses sake, I want to help improve things and create awareness.

Trailer loading OR as I call it Trailer load-IN is one of the bigger topics where it is simply just left until it is too late.

Did you know I offer a complete online training course on teaching your horse how to trailer load?

Please listen in where I share my thoughts and some other subjects which are often left too late leading to the horse becoming a victim due to the lack of training, education AND intelligence of their humans to explain it to them in advance ♥

Why is tying important?
In this episode I share my thoughts about different ways of tying horses and what to expect in terms of understanding and relaxation.

The idea as ever, is to create questions and awareness of what we are doing and if it is good enough.

Tying horses is what I call a 'General Skill' and is one that a human needs to learn in order to teach it well to their horses. 

• It starts with the knot, which one we are using and why?
• Then we have too look at what the horses thought's and knowledge are about being tied and make sure that we have the skills and mindset to teach them how to stand still and relax.

Besides hundreds of other subjects my Online Training Academy offers solutions for this subject and the actual practice of tying horses as a 'General Skill' and also troubleshooting for example with a horse that cannot stand and relax ♥

Such a nice thing to head towards where for many riders they don't believe it would ever be possible for them.
I am here to tell you that that is not entirely correct.

With some grit mostly to swallow a chunk of pride and the gearing up of ones dedication level, anything is possible.

Our horses are a direct result of where our knowledge level is at in our chosen subjects.

• Am I saying because you can't ride bridleless you are a crap rider? No.
• Am I saying because you can ride bridleless you are a brilliant rider? No.

It is about the fundamental practice of achieving it if you wanted it and the understanding that the practice to get there if done correctly should improve things, not hinder them.

Something a bit different.
Controversial in its nature I share with you our award winning song of which is titled - The Heartless Equestrian.

Aimed at the mainstream sports and the cruelty that does go on behind the scenes you will either love or hate the song and this podcast.

Either way, it is a voice for them, the beautiful horses.

You can find out more about Eddy here:

You can hear the full song, read its lyrics and use it for your own videos and reels - here

The Heartless Equestrian

Original lyric - Zoë Coade
Modified lyrics, music and artist - Eddy Modde

Equestrian horse lovers, please listen up

Stop lining their pockets for glory and that golden cup

Stop buying new trends, like a new and stronger bit

You can say no thanks and put an end to all of it

Speak up when they dig in that god awful spur

Leaving blood and welts leaking from their fur

Chorus >

Heartless Equestrian Organisation

Why do you put up with these forces

You make them cry these poor horses

Don’t buy that ticket

Coz money keeps them wicked

Rollkur and hyperflexion do not have to take place

Blue tongue is not just a moment of abusing their face

Chains and wires yank and tug at their poor mouth

Chin straps on very tight, drawing their head too far south

Nails sticking out of poles to get them to clear the fence

Then pushing them hard because they feel a bit tense

Chorus >

It is only human nature to leave things too late

This has gone on far too long, if only horses could hate

Hiding behind traditions, it has no hold

Protect them and make change, we MUST be bold

Don’t be old fashioned or incredibly unkind

Protect the horses, open your mind

Chorus >

Yes, it is indeed a poignant aspect of horse welfare; letting them run.

The ability for horses to engage in natural behaviors, such as galloping, is important for their physical and mental well-being.
Horses that are kept in confined spaces or those used primarily for specific tasks may have limited opportunities to express their natural behaviors.

While some horses are fortunate to have the freedom to gallop in open spaces, others may spend their lives in more restricted environments.
This can be due to various factors, including the type of work they're trained for, living conditions, or the constraints of their surroundings.

Promoting environments that allow horses to engage in natural behaviors, like running and socializing, is crucial for their overall health and happiness.
Where the above is not possible, then alternative ways of allowing the horses to move freely should be considered, like for example whilst riding.

It's a reminder of the responsibility that comes with caring for these majestic animals and considering their needs beyond practical utility ♥
