EXERCISES TO LEARN ABOUT PERSONAL SPACE

This is Emily and Matias, my cute Chincoteague Pony. They are working on both of their understanding of the value of personal space. Part one was more about allowing the invasion so we could help Emily experience the discomfort of something/someone in our personal space.

Here, in art two, we are using exercises to teach about respecting personal space and how to help establish a clear bubble to protect.

I love when my horses beckon me from across the barn to come over and spend some time with them. Every movement I made from any spot in the barn, Charlotte had her eyes on me in a very "Could you come over and love on me for a minute?" look.

GROUND WORK WITH MATIAS: PERSONAL SPACE

Matias is a great teacher for people who wish to sharpen their awareness of personal space boundaries.

It's very difficult to teach a person about invading other people's personal space because they're not actually uncomfortable when another person gets into THEIR space.

Utilizing a nice, calm, friendly horse or pony, that can get into somebody's personal space and not be of danger to the student, can really help define the discomfort that invading personal space might cause people.

LEARNING ABOUT STEERING (Part Four)

So this is Luna and my comedian pony Hunter. Parts one, two and three show examples of the type of pre-ride exercises I have my students do with a horse before they can get into the saddle.

I'm a strong believer that if you cannot communicate clearly with a horse while you're still safely on the ground, you have no business climbing onto their back. First of all, I don't think it's safe and second of all, I don't think it's fair to the horse.

Once we're certain that the communication is clear, then it's time to get in the saddle. Personally, I would imagine as a new rider that I would feel more connected to this animal now, after having done my pre-ride exercise, than I would if Hunter had just been brought to me while I idly waited for him standing on the mounting block. There is an established relationship by the time Luna puts her foot in that stirrup.

PRE-RIDE PUZZLE OR TASK (Part Three)

This is Luna, and my comedian pony Hunter, performing their pre-ride exercise.

I always set up some sort of task or puzzle for my students to do with their equine partner BEFORE they ride. I feel it is important to make sure that the communication is solid before getting into the saddle. I strongly believe that if they cannot have a clear conversation while safe on the ground, they shouldn't even consider climbing on to the horse's back.

LEARNING TO TACK UP IS AN IMPORTANT PART OF HORSEMANSHIP

This is 8-year-old Luna tacking up Hunter for her lesson. I feel it's very important to teach my students how to be future horse owners and self-sufficient in all that goes into horse ownership. I would not run the program that offers an already groomed and tacked up horse for my students. I think there's incredible value in having the skills of knowing how to do it all.
