Millions of people around the world have an addiction to equines. Backyard horse owners, wannabee horse owners, trainers, instructors, riding and driving students, horse sport competitors, high level international winners, and all of the careers in the horse industry have one thing in common: Everyone started as a beginner.
My goal in writing this blog is to make what I have learned in 65+ years of working with horses available to others. Everything I wished I had known when my journey began.
Nothing is new. Horsemanship has been around for thousands of years. I am sure the best Mongol warriors had their horsemanship knowledge and skills honed to a fine degree.
Ideas can be stated in many different ways. Often a student will get the same information from several different sources, but understand the complete idea only after one clarifies it for her or him.
Often words are a terrible way to express feeling and so much of horsemanship is learning to feel what all six senses tell us.
The blog is written in short blurbs about certain subjects and they often overlap. An index is published so readers can find what interests them and leave others out; a design to enhance rapid discovery of interesting / useful points.
I hope readers may find it helpful.
Have a great equestrian journey!
