*Dancing with Horses
Dancing with Horses - a veritable feast for the eyes. Join us in
this pictogram of a very special visual extravaganza. There are days
when the music, the costumes and the horses do truly come close to
creating an art all of their own.
A
new series for Horses For LIFE! This visual series will assist you in
training your eye to discern correct and incorrect movements and
training methods. In this article, we will be looking at bending as
opposed to leaning.
Dreaming
of fantasy equitation - what is the real purpose of the high
equitation? Together let us dream of perfection and find out where
Beudant says it can be found.
Many
of the problems humans have with horses are due to the simple fact that
horses are prey animals, and humans think and act like predators. See
how often you trigger the fight or flight instinct in your horse!
The BHS comes under fire for an article written in their Jan / Feb edition entitled "Sanitising". A paid up member of the BHS tries to find answers to the question, "Why is the BHS, who have been concentrating lately on the welfare of the horse, now promoting a method which has become highly contentious?"
The
Purple Pony shares his monthly exercises on how to have educated
hands...hands that know what they're doing...hands that realize exactly
what their effect is on the horse. Because otherwise ... Ouch!!
“In
my paper I stated that, from a behaviorist point of view, there was no
such thing as teaching, only learning. I stated that knowledge needed
to be voluntarily pulled into the brain by the student and that it was
very difficult to push knowledge into an unwilling brain." Monty
