I am still struggling with my newly opened eyes in regards to horse training. Watching programs that I would have previously found helpful, interesting and relevant, now make me feel sad and depressed.

“The right thing easy and the wrong thing difficult”. This is a very effective technique used by natural horsemanship trainers.
This is a technique I have called upon on numerous occasions, the basis for “fixing” and retraining “problem” horses. But suddenly I have changed, and I now have a problem with this idea.
If you don’t know Elsa’s work, prepare to be blown away!
It all started with a question, that became a project, that became a crowdfunding campaign, that became a film, that became the ‘Freedom Based Training’ programme.

In this article we will discuss how to begin working at “liberty” with your horse, and what the term “liberty” means.
Natural horsemanship has been gaining popularity and becoming more “main stream”. You may find yourself asking “What is Natural Horsemanship?” and “Why is it becoming so popular?”
Of all the problems I am called out for, lack of motivation is generally not one of them. But having a poorly motivated horse can certainly be an annoying problem. Their desire to work can be nonexistent, making them dull, listless, inattentive.
Recently I was asked to write an article for the “Natural Feeding for Horses” Sept newsletter. There is a bit about me and what I do, how and why behaviour problems arise, and how the average horse owner can incorporate a bit of natural horsemamship into thier daily routine. Enjoy!
