8pm at night and I've just sat down 🫣 it's already Sat gone 🀣 Sunday tomorrow, Sunday is my slow day.

Have a fab day tomorrow whatever you are doing ❀️ love Carlie cares and the Gang πŸ₯°

How often do you read your horse's eyes?

Do you ever look at your horse's eyes and can read how they feel?

Horses eyes to me are the same as lipreading a human (I'm profoundly deaf and base on lip reading)

Eyes on horses are the most vocal part of their face πŸ₯° they communicate and express emotions through eyes.

There is also a science study of Iridology which studies the horses wellbeing through the Iris, the Iris is sectioned off in charts like the brain for different jobs for the body, when spots appear in the different parts of the Iris, it can show some health signs on certain parts of the organs

Some horses show nerves, calm, worried, alert, interested and overwhelmed emotions with their eyes.
I work with this within my training with animals.
Horses, dogs, cats and a lot more.

During COVID when everyone had mask on, I couldn't lipread so I trained my self to lipread eyes emotions and eyebrow movements to each jaw movement on people 🫣🀣 it was a struggle but like us all at that time life was so challenging 😒❀️

When my horses are so affectionate 🫣 they just kiss and lick me when I'm with them 🫣🀣 but it gives me the giggles.
This one licks my legs if I have shorts on or my arms if a t-shirt is on. (Bloody annoying 🀣)

Horses groom each other by licking and gentle biting its natural horse behaviour.
When myself and other horse people are with there horses a lot, humans become part of the herd.
🫣 So grooming time can happen 🀣🀣🀣 but I have to be careful of the nashers 🀣🀣🫣

I don't mind at all and I think it's quite precious they see me as one of their herds, but I am aware it can get dangerous for myself as they weigh a ton and their teeth bloody hurt 🫣🀣

They do this with the farrier 🫣 too, they love him.

Do you ever just stop, slow down and hug your animals?

I'm bad to be honest, I'm so busy and timed, that I don't get the best bits all the time πŸ˜’πŸ€”

So lately I've brought in slow moments, stop, hug and spend time just standing ❀️
The smell, warmth, heart beat is so therapeutic it's better than all medicine πŸ₯°

They love it ❀️ I hug all mine while they are grazing or in there time, they will come and stand with me and sleep πŸ₯°

Also in these moments it allows us to see what we have achieved, it's a dream for a lot of people to have horses and loads of animals, it was my dream since I was tiny 3 to 4 years old, to stand and see, appreciate and be grateful for our blessings is a huge healer in its self.

(No my lab isn't smelling my bum 🀣🀣🀣 she wants a hug too ❀️)

Horses & dogs ❀️

I just don't understand something at the minute πŸ€”

Why are there so many dog attacks on horses?

While horses are hacking out on commons surely they are to be shared by everyone πŸ€”

Where has the respect gone, if your dog doesn't like horses, put them on a lead.

If your horse can't behave and walk respectfully, don't go out in public until groundwork is confidently achieved ❀️

If your dog has no recall, hates horses or attacks other dogs, go and do dog training πŸ€”πŸ«£

If you can't be bothered or make excuses why there behaviour is unsolvable, don't have an animal 🀷

This isn't going to be a favourite post, but I feel this post is so important.

As an animal communicator & herbalist it is our responsibility to have happy, content animals.
It is our duty to teach, train and guide animals how to behave within homes and outside in public.

Us humans are failing animals abilities 🫣 there you go I said it.
Trauma, training can all be solved or achieved with the right guidance and always positive training.

This pony 🫣 is awesome but has a habit of unpredictable behaviour towards anything random, he's not aggressive or bolts he just thinks he's bigger than what he is πŸ˜‚ so our groundwork training is everyday 🫣πŸ’ͺ (yes I get bored, I'm gonna be honest)
The same thing until he understands and accepts it's harder work to play up, positive training.

In the photo my dogs work with the horses they all know there area and boundaries πŸ’ͺ❀️ if they can't behave and respect the pack then they don't join in.

It's a lot harder for a dog to sit out and watch, than being involved in the adventure πŸ€”

I really want to encourage animal owners to bring in simple steps to help animals understand we are all in this together, dogs, horses, humans.
We can all enjoy a walk out, activities without the worry of being attacked πŸ€”πŸ’ͺ❀️

Harvesting Burdock Root 🫣πŸ’ͺ

I cut back during the summer and leave little bare trees in the paddock that I pull out after the rain.
As it's so hard to remove in hard ground.

The benefits are great πŸ₯°

Digestive system, skin, coat, hoofs and more.
You can buy it in most horse feed stores in root or powder form.
I do recommend powder form for horses with small amounts of teeth like the elderly πŸ₯°

Mine have it all year but especially the change of season, change of grass and feed.

Contains a natural prebiotic (insulin) which stimulates the good gut bacteria.

I find a lot of nervous horses benefit from it too.

Do offer first (that's my rule) I just don't just add to feed and hope for the best.
After all it's a lot of work, I don't want them just pooing it out.

Horses tell me, if they want it they can have it that day.

If however you decide to feed straight and not offer please offer gradually.

When they choose to go for a snooze on my hat πŸ˜‚πŸ«£
This is my hat to protect my hearing aids out in the rain β˜”

But for some reason horses play with it πŸ˜‚ if I stand long enough they rest 🫣🫣🫣 that's ok πŸ€” I haven't got anything to do 🫣

Groundwork training with horses.

I have studied for years and there are so many different ways to help horses, I must say positive or negative 😒

My way is a positive body languageπŸ’ͺ

So this guy has too many doors open in his brain πŸ˜‚ he's on a huge adventure 🫣 he has already been on hack out, cross country, played fairies with my Granddaughter (he hasn't) we are still Grooming and tacking up 🫣 he can't process there and then, he's processing 20 mins ahead 🫣

He is a typical pony case that gets forgotten or badly named, well not with me, Horse psychology is my passion.
So he will teach me as I guide him πŸ’ͺ

He's very confident but with his full on adventure mode , bits in-between his journey appear like monsters 🫣 so he never saw the bin, the fallen tree, another horse or a carrier bag.
Even though he is so calm around them normally πŸ€” on his adventure they are huge, so a spook happens and then he creates a new funky body movement and thinks "Wow I can do the splits 🫣 watch me mum" then its a new game 🫣

So bringing in small games to play with on his mind, while working with long reining, allows him to think of the basket for a moment, in that moment, while asking for simple body movements to then build it up.

Don't just put anything on your horses back 🫣 that's work in itself, allow the horse to eccept the basket and be confident in carrying.
This is for anything.

He's doing so well, keeping each session short and finishing on a positive note, I have a long way to go, but each day is a step to his freedom of enjoyment outside in public πŸ«£πŸ˜‚πŸ’ͺ
