You don't have to ride horses to enjoy them!  You'd be amazed at what you can do on the ground... and it's not just brushing!  Do you want to challenge your mind?

How about teaching your horse to back into his stall without a halter?  Put his foot on a frisbie--on purpose?  Keep his front legs in a hula hoop and have his back end circle around it? Go sideways over/straddle a barrel, pole or ?  Have him follow you at your shoulder without a halter or lead rope?  Stand on a pedestal? Bow?  These are simple examples! There is so much more you can do!  Your imagination is the only limitation!!

Many "naughty" horses are really smart and LOVE the challenges.  But first...you have to learn his language and gain his ultimate respect and trust!  Working on yourself is just as challenging.  Be the kind of person your horse (or mine) will want to kiss & hug when s/he sees you!  Let me show you how!
