Through preparation and experience. Everyone has had a lack of confidence about something at some point in their life. Whether it had to do with animals or not, it doesn’t matter. It doesn’t matter, because all confidence comes from being prepared for the unthinkable and collecting experience. You will never become a confident person if you constantly worry about what …
Once You’ve Learned It All…
“It’s amazing what you can learn once you have already learned all there is to learn. Some people think they’ve got it all figured out; they are just scratching the surface. There is so much to be had here it’s unreal. And what I talk about, most people will never ever reach that goal. That doesn’t matter. – Ray …
Taking The Fear Out Of Discipline
We tend to connect fear with discipline. We want to force it upon others. We say,”Do this, or bad things will happen”, and everything runs perfectly. Does it? Discipline is needed in most learning, especially in training. You can’t have your student looking off into the sunset and saying, “I’d rather do something else”, because nothing would be learned. The …
Words of Wisdom: Ray Hunt
“You have to give something you never gave in order to get something you never had.” – Ray Hunt Short, simple, very true! This quote from Ray never fails to inspire me, and it really has today. It seems to keep popping up in my head throughout the day. Think about what he’s saying. Are you stepping out of your …
Moral Behavior in Animals
Humans have a tendency to believe that they’re the best: No other being on this earth has the ability to feel and express the emotions we humans do. We’re just so special!

It stuns me that there are still people in our world, doubting the existence of a soul or human-like emotions in animals. It also stuns me that they are slaughtering these wild horses. I loved this video and not only because of the heartwarming story, but because it shows why humans shouldn’t do or believe either of the above. This …

Setting Up For Success
Nothing has ever been learned from a teacher who tries to trip-up their student, correct mistakes before they’ve happened, never rewards the student’s effort… Nothing has ever been learned from teachers like this, except: I don’t like to learn. I can’t learn. I’m stupid. So why do we continue to teach our animals with these methods? I’m a true believer …
Who Let the Dogs Bark?
I tried not to while house sitting this weekend. It was me, a house full of excitable dogs, and lots of things to be barked at just outside the door. How are we, subconsciously, rewarding dogs to bark at the door when we have visitors? What are we doing to reinforce their behavior? I played around with this thought quite …
An Inspiration: Michelle Dennis
Michelle Dennis walking on her bridleless horses. This photo should be all I have to show for you to understand why Michelle Dennis has become such an inspiration to me. No? It wasn’t enough for me, either. In fact, I’ve spent most of my time during the past few days researching everything I could find about her on the internet. …
