35 minutes from “absolutely fu***ng not” to “yep, where are we going?”

That’s training. Not luck. 🐴❤️

Marches straight in.
No drama.
No negotiation.

This is why I bang on about float loading.
Most loading problems aren’t nearly as complicated as owners think they are. Often, the horse isn’t being difficult, stubborn, claustrophobic, traumatised or plotting your downfall — they simply haven’t been taught clearly what the answer is.

Self-loading shouldn’t be a “well, fingers crossed and let’s see what happens today” situation. 😂

It should be a normal, boring, everyday skill your horse understands.

Every year I say this, summer will be here and along with it, FIRE season! Don't be the one to leave your horse behind in an evacuation because it doesnt load.

Need help? Send me a PM. Callouts to select areas.

Sometimes you can see the signs someone is struggling. Sometimes you can't. No one is immune ♥️

One of today’s lessons saw little Asha graduate to long reins! 🎓🐴

He’s come such a long way in such a short amount of time, and honestly, that doesn’t happen by accident. It’s taken plenty of patience, consistency, and an owner who does the homework… even when I keep adding to it. 😂

These two have put in the work, and it’s really starting to show.

Gold stars all round for this pair! ⭐️⭐️♥️

👋 "I have a stupid question..."

Those five little words are one of my favourite things to hear in a lesson.

Because in all my years of coaching, I have never heard a stupid question.

Not one.

Every rider you admire was once a beginner. Every coach you respect only knows what they know because of years of practice, mistakes, frustration, setbacks, sore muscles, and those magical moments when everything finally clicks.

You're not paying me to judge you. You're paying me to help you. That includes asking the questions you're too embarrassed or nervous to ask.

In fact, if you're asking questions, it tells me you're thinking. You're trying to understand, not just copy. That's exactly how good horsemen and horsewomen are made.

And if I explain something and it still doesn't make sense...

Please tell me.

I don't expect every explanation to click the first time. I'll happily explain it a different way, use another example, or show you another exercise until it does. That's my job.

Whether you've been riding for six weeks or sixty years, there will always be something new to learn.

So please, ask the "stupid" question.
They're usually the best ones. ❤️

Cases like these make it all worth while ❤️❤️

What if I told you the answer isn't some magical, complicated training secret... it's usually something really small.

Yep. The problem feels huge, so we go hunting for a huge solution. Meanwhile, the tiny thing causing all the drama is sitting there like, "Excuse me... I'm the problem."

The good news? Small is fixable. Small is achievable. And before you know it, you're wondering why you waited so long to ask for help.

There's absolutely no shame in admitting you've got a problem on your hands. We've all been there, and even taken a dirt nap or two in the process. But you also don't have to stay stuck watching everyone else have the rides you wish you were having.

This week's lessons are already off to a flying start!

📍 Sawyers Valley Tuesdays are fully booked. (Wait list available)
📍 The extra fortnightly Wednesday run is also full. (Wait list available)
📍 Just 2 spots left for Thursday in the Valley.

Come find the tiny thing that's been making life unnecessarily difficult. Your horse will probably be relieved too. 🤠

Western disciplines and English.
❤️ Your biomechanics Coach ❤️

🤠 THURSDAYS - SWAN VALLEY 🤠

I'll be in the Swan Valley area on Thursdays and have a few lesson spots available.

🐴 Western & English Lessons 🐴 Groundwork 🐴 Float Training 🐴 Problem Solving 🐴 Confidence Building

If your horse has developed creative opinions, your float has become their greatest enemy, or you're one bad ride away from listing them for sale, give me a call before making any major life decisions.

📍 Swan Valley 📅 Thursdays

📩 Message to book

Because sometimes the horse isn't the problem.

(And sometimes it absolutely is.)

🚨 The cat's officially out of the bag! 🚨

LDPH Wundowie is up for sale.

What does this mean?

Honestly, not a whole lot... except that for the next few months I'll be MOBILE again while I get the next property set up.

It's been five years since I've been able to travel regularly, so if you've ever wanted lessons but I was too far away, or you couldn't float your horse to me, this is your golden opportunity.

Whether you're into Western, English, needing groundwork, float training, problem solving, confidence building, or just trying to convince your horse that chaos isn't a personality trait, I've got you covered.

So while my life resembles a slightly organised travelling circus, make the most of it! I'll be hitting the road and bringing the lessons to you.

Get in touch to book a spot before I disappear into the next chapter of the adventure. 🐴🚚

Hamish has been here a few weeks now leaning how to wear big boy pants. Today he came with me to the drive-thru at the pub for a quick drink. ❤️.
