Update on one of the ten scaredest horses I ever met
Here’s some photos of Bree, on a leading rein with her Mum, Melissa, doing her comfort zone work in the saddle with Blondie, as described in Bobby’s Diaries to help a horse reach their comfort zone with energy and movement in the saddle.
Swinging her arms around, increasing the energy
- Forward and backwards, bringing movement in the saddle into her comfort zone.
See, it would be really easy to miss out on doing this stuff with such a great little pony – because you have to be paying attention to notice how afraid of some things she still is. She doesn’t run away or shy or buck or rear or do anything anti-social when she is afraid – she just stops.
“Bobby’s Diaries, Straight from the Horse’s Mouth to You” is one horse’s roadmap to communication with me. ”Zen Connection with Horses”, the book and audio lesson set brings the later understandings right into your paddock or barn, with my voice leading you step by step to a wonderful connection with your horse.

P.S. Mandy, one of our woofers from Holland, worked with Blondie to get her more comfortable with movement around her rear end. Mandy’s work made Bree’s job in the saddle easier and safer. Go the woofers! (Willing Workers On Organic Farms program)
