Sometimes the try is more subtle than we expect.

When I’m asking for flexion, I’m looking for the thought in that direction. It might be as little as their eye looking towards me. At times, I’ll release for just that. Depending on the horse and what’s happening in that moment, it might even be a blink at first.

And when you start acknowledging those little tries, it’s almost as though the horse says, “Hey, you saw that!”

That’s the piece I love. Being able to notice the beginning of an answer and let them know, “Yes, that’s what I’m looking for.”

If we’re waiting for the whole movement, we can miss an opportunity to acknowledge how it starts.

Learning to see those subtleties takes time. Start by watching what happens just before the movement you asked for. You might find your horse is offering more than you realized.

Horsemanship Clinic at Hayday Farm, Foothills County, AB November 21–22

I’m looking forward to spending two days at Hayday Farm this November for a small-group horsemanship clinic.

This weekend is designed to give us time to work through the pieces that matter to you and your horse.

Whether that means building confidence, improving communication, finding more softness and balance, working through a sticky spot, or simply developing a clearer understanding of one another.

👉Saturday will be our group day. We’ll begin on the ground with functional, foundational groundwork, looking at the poll, shoulders, rib cage and hindquarters individually, and how better access to each piece can influence our horse’s posture, balance and responsiveness.

We’ll explore softness, responsiveness and connection, along with how the clarity of our signals, timing and intention can change the way our horses understand and respond to us.

We’ll also incorporate liberty-based exercises, giving us another way to explore connection and communication, and to see what happens when we remove some of our physical aids and rely more on our body language, intention and clarity.

In the afternoon, we’ll bring those same ideas into the saddle, working on exercises that can help develop better balance, communication, transitions, confidence and feel.

👉Sunday will include private sessions, giving each horse-and-rider pair dedicated time to work on what they need most. This is one of my favourite parts of this clinic format because we can really tailor the work to each individual partnership.

There is never one exercise or one answer that fits every horse. We’ll take the time to notice what each horse is telling us and adjust the work from there.

🐴 Small group size
📍 Hayday Farm, Foothills County
📅 November 21–22, 2026
⏰ 9:00 a.m.–5:00 p.m. both days

Suitable for a variety of horses and riders, including young horses, confidence rebuilding, relationship development, and those simply wanting to deepen their horsemanship.

Only a couple of spaces remain for this clinic.

Apparently a good roll is how you start the engine. 🤣 A little fall morning pumpkin spice?

This morning’s sunrise. No filter needed. 🍂

Although waking up early isn't always easy, I've been blessed with seeing the most beautiful sunrises, and although the days are getting shorter, those sunsets to the west are something else too.

I’m one of those people who finds beauty in the smallest things. The wildflowers and weeds going to seed, with their little tufts of white fluff, a rugged old fence post, an old gate, or the light between the trees.

I think my husband gets a little tired of it at times, as we’ll drive past the same old log building or scenic spot, and I’ll say, “Isn’t that just so beautiful?”

“Yes, you say that every time we drive by here.” 😂

And he’s right. But it’s beautiful every time.

This time of year is bittersweet, but it’s absolutely my favourite. Shorter days, beautiful skies, and that brisk morning air that brings me to life. Funny, coming from someone who hates being cold.

And the nickers that greet me as I walk around the back of the house to feed the horses each morning? Those are sounds I never want to forget.

I often talk about how our mindset matters with our horses, but I think it’s something we practise in our everyday lives, too. What if we took a little more time to notice what’s going well? All the things our horses do right. The little tries. The small improvements that are easy to overlook.

With the world today, it’s easy to get caught up in the negativity and the things that feel scary. Looking for beauty doesn’t make those things disappear, but maybe it helps us remember how much good is still here, too.

Just feeling grateful for these little pieces of my everyday life.

What an amazing weekend had at the Laughing Mares clinic. ❤️
Mother Nature absolutely gifted us with the most beautiful fall weekend. The weather was gorgeous, our horses were absolute superstars, and everyone showed up ready to learn, try things, laugh, and support one another.

We covered so many pieces over the weekend, lots of young horse development, working in-hand, liberty, balance and transitions, breath, and learning to better understand and regulate our horses’ nervous systems… as well as our own.

There were lots of little lightbulb moments, some really beautiful changes in the horses, and plenty of laughs along the way.

And Saturday night around the campfire might deserve a post all on its own. 😂 I learned about a few things I apparently knew absolutely nothing about… wink wink. 😏

It was such a pleasure spending the weekend with this group of women! Some familiar faces and some brand new ones.

And a big shout-out to my dear friend Kirstin, who kept us all well fed with delicious lunches and helped me throughout the entire weekend. I’m so grateful to have her there beside me. ❤️

Thank you all for showing up so wholeheartedly and making the weekend what it was.
What a good one. ❤️🐴

🍂 Only two rider spaces remain for my final Tailored Ride clinic at Red Lodge Guest Ranch until spring!

Join me October 17–18 for individual coaching shaped around you, your horse, and what you’d like to work on.

Have you been feeling stuck, or wondering if there’s a missing piece in your partnership? Or perhaps things are going well, and you’d love some guidance on what comes next.

This clinic is about building a better understanding and becoming more in tune with your horse. Learning to notice the little things, feel what’s happening on the ground and underneath you, and understand how to support your horse through it. Building something that feels good for both of you.

And yes… finding the feel and finding the rhythm.
No bobsled team required. Haha 🇯🇲 (please tell me I'm not the only one who hears Cool Runnings in my head when I say that 🤣)

You’ll have one-on-one sessions with me, tailored to your needs. That might mean exploring groundwork or liberty, building confidence with obstacles, working through mounting-block or herd-bound challenges, or refining your timing and communication under saddle.

I keep the group small, with just seven participants, and I meet each horse and rider where they’re at. There’s time for questions and plenty to learn from watching the other partnerships, too. My aim is for you to leave with a clearer understanding and practical things you can continue working on at home.

Red Lodge has become a home away from home for these clinics. It’s a beautiful place to spend a couple of days with your horse and like-minded people. Cabins and overnight horse pens can be booked directly through the ranch if you’d like to make a weekend of it.

October 17–18, 2026
9 am–5 pm
Red Lodge Guest Ranch, just west of Bowden, Alberta
$425 + GST

If this sounds like something you and your horse could use, I’d love to have you join me. Send me a message to register or chat about whether the clinic is a good fit.

Are you nervous to ride your horse out? Your mind starts thinking of all the things that could go wrong.

Sometimes we look way out towards the horizon, and our horse starts to pick up speed. Then our worry starts to build, too.

Try keeping your eyes in a smaller radius to you and your horse and giving yourself a little job. A purpose.
You can absolutely travel farther but keep choosing nearby points along the way. Ride from one little destination to the next instead of looking way out across the whole ride.

Maybe you go through the pasture gate and stay within 80 feet of it to start, and then grow.

Can you ride a straight line to that tuft of grass, and then make figure eights around a couple of manure piles? They make great natural markers, haha.
Shrubs, trees, all helpful visuals. Find a halt, stop there, take a breath, practice patience and choose your next little destination.
You can walk it on the ground with your horse first, too.

As you and your horse get more comfortable, you can gradually make your radius bigger while keeping your focus in the radius.

If you feel yourself or your horse starting to brace, soften those thoughts and your bodies. Check your breathing and your body and ride a nice bend on a curved line through your horse rather than a sharp turn.
Figure eights are helpful.
A horse that gets out of balance can feel unstable and unsure very quickly.
Pay attention to what you feel underneath you. Is your horse getting tense, or are you both settling into it? Let that help you decide when you’re ready to go a little farther.

Sometimes doing little things that scare us is part of growth. One small step, one nearby destination at a time.

Happy first Saturday of autumn, everyone! 🍂

My favourite season. Get out there and enjoy the colours and the good footing while we have it!

Those crisp, cool mornings can bring a few extra snorts and leave you wondering whether you’ve caught your horse or a dragon. 😂

Before saddling up, take a few minutes to check in with some thoughtful groundwork.

Where’s their attention? Are they relaxed or a little on edge? Are their shoulders moving freely with you, or are they drifting into your space?
Can they soften through their ribcage and follow a gentle bend? Are their hind legs reaching forward freely, or are their steps short and restricted?

Just five minutes can give you a lot of information. Give them time to warm up, and let what you notice guide what you ask next.

Enjoy your horses this weekend!🌻

I hadn’t planned on riding him tonight, but he came to meet me in the pasture and walked straight up to the halter.

Maybe he knew I needed it before I did.

A little ba****ck ride, with Denali following along. That familiar feeling of being on his back. Home.

“The intuitive mind is a sacred gift and the rational mind is a faithful servant. We have created a society that honours the servant and has forgotten the gift.”✨️
-Albert Einstein

I’m thankful I had the opportunity to explore horsemanship intuitively when I was younger. To spend time with horses, be curious, and learn through feeling.

Later, I took lessons with different people, bringing an open mind and a willingness to learn. But when something didn’t feel right, I gave myself permission to pause and listen to the horse in front of me. To pay attention to that awareness, that feeling, my “spidey senses.”

My empathy helped me recognise their stress. Sometimes that meant asking for less, rewarding a smaller try, or giving them more time to understand.

Each person I learned from gave me something to consider. Over time, I learned to bring that knowledge together with my own intuition, and awareness. Knowledge and experience matter. So does listening to the horse in front of you.

And I want others to know that, too. Be open to learning, but know you’re allowed to listen to your own intuition. If something doesn’t feel right, you can pause, ask questions, think outside the box, and look for another way.

You don’t have to silence your empathy or intuition to become a better horseperson.

I think many of us have forgotten how to listen to that part of ourselves. Working with horses reminds me to keep listening.
