The fun of a Birthday in the Time Warp

You  know how it is .... your birthday approaches and you start to think about what you'll do, how you'll celebrate, how old you are getting!, and you tell everyone you don't want a fuss ... then the day arrives, and you wake up like a child on their birthday, full of anticipation and 'specialness', eager to enjoy what you have planned! And the truth of it is, it IS lovely to have others remember and make a fuss of you!  The phone calls, the text messages, the emails, the extra kisses and the Facebook messages, it all makes you feel good, and appreciated and loved. My birthday was yesterday - Valentine's Day.  I joke that I was a Love Child, and then someone yesterday pointed out to me that how fitting it is that my business is called Horsemanship with Heart ... yes, the Universe's synchronicity at work again!

Last Saturday's horsemanship clinic at Bethanga up in the northernmost reaches of Victoria, right on the NSW border, was fantastic.

The Character of a Horsemanship with Heart Clinic

A clinic is only as good and as interesting as what you get out of it, and also, what you are prepared to put into it. Last Saturday's Horsemanship with Heart clinic was no exception. We had a mixed group - ponies and young people, and horses and older people (I don't mean 'old', just older than 15!). Prior to a clinic , I ask everyone to fill out a Pre-Clinic Questionnaire, which tells me a bit about them, what they think their horse's issues are, any problems that they may be experiencing, and so on. So last week we had a mixed bag ... horses that push into people, rush through gateways, don't lead well, don't like their faces being touched, don't like their groins being touched, are nervous around people, and who have tantrums! I keep the clinic numbers to a maximum of 8 or 10 and this gives me the opportunity to offer personal help to every person and their horse. I show ways of doing things that instill trust and confidence in a horse,...
