Barbara you asked Laurel but I will answer anyway;-) Let Go of control is not letting go of fear;-) I fear loads of things together with my horses, I was...
Barbara I had another thought! I now ONLY say it has worked for me, my personality or my situatioin NOT that it is best or something;-) The clicker has helped...
... This is so true Ulrika, even with my sometimes bubbling cauldron with Jedda, it is not about dominance, but about some new strength she is trying to get me...
Oh, thanks for that info, yes it does seem to make a bit more sense now. Isn't it strange how, once something which was once commonplace becomes fashionable,...
If you ask me, people are a little bit crackers sometimes! If someone wants to ride, say, dressage, then why not buy a horse bred for that purpose, rather...
I suppose that many breeds are, to an extent, evolving, and that is probably inevitable. But I still think that if a person wants a horse for a particular...
No, it's never too late, Valezka! I was in my fifties when I bought my first horse after 25 years absence! And what a learning curve that was, and still is!...
Good on yer, Deb, I also went to a mini show at the weekend, it was lots of fun, and not as hard out competitive as I thought it would be. It was great to see...
It's very strange, Laurel, because not only does it vary from horse to horse, but from person to person. What I mean is that I don't have a problem with my...
Thank you, Ulrika, I rather like that, when you say the fear that is in the background, more of an awareness. That is a good kind of fear, I think. And I...
OH MY GOODNESS!! I THINK THAT YOU HAVE HIT THE NAIL ON THE HEAD WITH THIS ONE! I THINK THAT BRUNO WOULD BE VERY FASCINATED WITH A CLICKER!! I DON'T HAVE A...
I am finally getting my gelding! A black very beautiful fellow by the name Shadow. I am soo exited and a little nervous, will he be the partner I need to plod...
With pleasure, Ulrika, I wish, wish and wish for him to be like that! How exciting! A new horse! And he sounds very beautiful. I look forward to when you...
<http://pets.groups.yahoo.com/group/bobbysdiariesdiscussiongroup/message/2371> ... Well, I wasn't *really* floating you know! just when you stop walking ...
When I had that huge welling up of fear the other day when I was with Jedda, and was putting myself down a bit, I have since realised that in large part this...
yes you can click with your tounge but I am no good at it, it also becomes jumbled with my since childhood learnt way of telling horses to get going;-) I have...
All my horses have no problems with a 'cluck' or the proper clicker - you can even say 'good' or 'buzz' or anything else short and to the point. Believe me...
Oh how Godawful for the poor horse! Yes, I know that the fear I feel is often Bruno's. also. And that it passes between us. I also know that it will not be...
Thanks Adie, I'll just try without the clicker for a start. And also I am hanging out for Jenny's Zen Connection - I can't wait to get it! Ichecked out that...
Hi Barb, Yes, it was horrible, I try not to dwell on that unless it has relevance, as in large part Jedda is a different horse now, and during a horse...
How Wonderful Ulrika!! Congratulations on your new man :smile: he sounds just divine.. Â hugz Deb x Website: www.equianine.vpweb.com.au Proud home of...

It's a strange thing, Laurel, I have found, and I expect that you have too, that the fear of something awful happening is not nearly so bad when something...
Hey Barb, if you send me your address offlist, I'll post you a clicker, I keep a supply here for clinics and such. They're only a couple of bucks, so you could...
Hi, Deb, I guess it's true that versatility in a horse is often viewed as an asset, and there are many types of horses that can do a bit of most things, but...
I can't contain myself any longer, I just have to blabber about how happy I am;-) He has come home, my Shadow... He is SOOO beautiful, and .... first he was...
Oh, that is such wonderful news! I have only just read your post, and I also felt so happy that the tears came into my eyes! What a truly lovely horse! No,...
