Thank you, Kim. I appreciate your loyalty and faith in my lesson blogs. I’m glad they have helped add to your horsemanship toolbelt. It’s always about what’s best for your horse and the two of you working together with grace, love, and gratitude.

I really just enjoyed reading your treats lesson. Made me think πŸ€”. I use treats and don’t use treats and appreciate the added difference in giving and taking. Wow, that was a powerful difference in attitude! I personally like to ask for a kiss or hug πŸ€— as well to really bring an intimate feeling into the exchange of joy to give and receive. After all, Jesus said more happiness in giving than receiving! True that is! So the kiss or hug is a nice touchy exchange and my horses do actually put feeling into it especially the kiss must be the muzzle to muzzle air and area of the mouth they too exchange between themselves. But the intention is there to be polite and gentle and give. They really put those lips out and gently connect! I don’t comment much because I wanted to go out and experience the vast amount of knowledge I was taking in over the years from different horsemanship guides. I needed to simulate and apply. Thank you for keeping me on your email list. Very generous your output of knowledge and wisdom...making lives better for horses and Human companions and caretakers.πŸ’ Again CONGRATULATIONS 🎈β™₯🎈β™₯🎈 Sincerely, Kim]]> Dear Teddie,

What a great story Sarah! I love it. I’m so glad you enjoyed the programs. I hope you got a chance to watch the Stallion Series as well.

After reading your video clip on giving treats a few weeks ago I realised that I could use my horse’s love for food to my advantage, and get her more comfortable on my float. I have enjoyed float training my horse. Your tips have been so helpful. I gave feedback recently on my first 6 days of float training. My 7th day was a really windy day and Sahara didn’t want to stay on the float so I just feed her on the ramp. Yesterday was a beautiful day so I was really keen to take her to Whiteria Park which is near us, and take her for a walk, a graze and a wee ride. She walks onto the float beside me as I have her feed with me. I hook the bucket onto the chest bar of the float and she starts to eat. I put her halter on and move the divider over and do up the bum bars and the ramp and head up the road. We had a lovely time at Whiteria Park.

When reloading Sahara to go home she would often try to walk to the side of the float and avoid getting on. With using her love of food, this time I lead her up on the ramp with a little bit of food in the bucket and left her eating it while I put the bum bar in place and lifted up the ramp. All sorted. And I made sure I drove home nice and slowly so her first experience out and about was a good one, after 4 months of not being floated out due to lockdown. Thanks again for your tips.

I love your update about Mark and his cat regarding the scales. I realised I can also use treats when leading Sahara out of the paddock as she can get worried when we are out on our own.

And incidently, yesterday when a friend was having a wee ride on Sahara at Whiteria Park, a dog running behind her got her a little worried so she turned to me for comfort. Isn’t that great, Teddie. Your Foundation of Trust and Begjnning the Connection courses on the ground is really making a difference. Thanks Teddie
