Comments on: What dropping U.S. divorce rates mean for your horse https://teddiezieglerhorsemanship.com/divorce-rates-and-your-horse/ Horsemanship and horse training the partnership way Wed, 24 Jun 2020 04:34:22 +0000 hourly 1 By: Andrea Howard https://teddiezieglerhorsemanship.com/divorce-rates-and-your-horse/#comments/1572 https://polaritytraining.com/?p=6298#comment-1572 A really enjoyable read, thank you. I am doing my best to build a bond with my horse. I try to be as understanding as possible with him as he is very opinionated.
Calm approach and reassurance but a long journey.

I love to hear stories like that Betty. LOL Once you can really listen and hear what your horse is telling you, it’s amazing how much they talk to you. Love it!

Thank you Diane. Yes, you are absolutely right and I love how your boy comes when you call and stays close. That is such a special feeling. Keep up the good work and thank you for your continued support and reading. 🙂

I am so sorry for your loss Sherrie. There is nothing worse than losing a part of your heart and a fur family member. They will forever be in our hearts! <3

Thank you Moira. I agree, a foundation of trust is so important before a true relationship can get started. 🙂

I’ve been busy with summer guests, gardens and greenhouse. Upkeep of the place and cleaning. She is known to do this if I’m late for feeding. But this was no where near her feeding time! I called out to her, are you lonely, have I neglected you? She called out vigorously. Do you want to go play? Again she answered with lots of energy. I dropped what I was doing got my clicker bag and went to join my dearest friend. She was spot on with every cue. We went through everything we’ve learned. I threw the footbal farther than ever and she went and got it brought it back and put it in my outstreched hand as I ran from her. We played for almost an hour. As I turned to leave she stepped in front of me, so l played stay and come. I dumped the rest of the clicker treats in her bowl and went back to work.
A couple days later thinking how much she seemed to enjoy it, and I sure had, I went to play. Lol well she wasnt really into it. I threw the ball. She wandered over to the cone. Then over to the fence, looking back at me at each wrong answer. I got to laughing because it was clear to me she was avoiding the right answer. Not sure me quitting was ok but she seemed to think it was pretty funny too. There was a time I would have taken this as a direct challenge. She didnt get treats, I left her alone. That is our relationship. Sometimes we just don’t feel.like it.. Lol

I love just spending time with my rescue boy and don’t ride every time I go to the paddock. My fellow Agisting humans don’t understand they ride no matter what even if their horse is thin and a bit unwell. Riding is paramount to them. I always get comments but then my boy comes when I call him and walks beside me and they say can you teach my horse to do that. He is in a 100 acre paddock so not close when I call him. I love just being with him and riding but one is just important as the other.
I hope your fathers visit is fun and filled with great memories. Love your posts and the carrot one helped me heaps.
Thank you 😊

I can be myself now with my horses, soft gentle,kind and compassionate. They love it when I hang out with them, not expecting anything, not asking anything. They are learning to trust me because I try hard to listen to them, and respect their ‘no’. It doesn’t happen overnight, but good relationships take time. It gets better and better as time goes on. Thank you for all your help and advice. 😊👍💜]]> As usual your advice is excellent, down to earth and practical! 🙂
