Steady Horse

Don’t let noise become the excuse your horse uses to disconnect.

Watch me work a pony calmly through desensitizing, then move into targeted softness and backing. It’s methodical, repeatable, and it’s what builds a horse who stays with you when things get weird.

Your horse remembers everything.
Every sound, every scare, every success—it all gets filed away in their mind.

Some files say “safe.” Others scream “danger.”

The good news?
You can rewrite those fear files through thoughtful, consistent desensitizing.

In this new post, I share how to:
✅ Teach your horse to trust through repetition
✅ Replace fear files with confidence
✅ Become the one steady thing in every scary moment

You can’t expose your horse to everything—but you can teach them that you are their constant.

How do you help your horse stay calm when introducing new things?

In step two, I’m gently flicking the stick all over my pony — neck, back, tail, even around the ears — to build trust and desensitize him without pressure. It’s like teaching a toddler to walk: falls happen, but we celebrate the courage to try again. This process is all about patience, presence, and positive vibes.

Slate was afraid of a stick — and that fear tells a story most of us miss.

We don’t know Slate’s past. So we introduce tools slowly and with intent. The Steady Stick gives clarity and timing (it flexes, it’s light, it has rubber ends) — which helped Slate move from fearful to curious.

If your horse flinches at a stick, you’re not alone.

Slate was worried about a training stick — maybe someone hit him before. I use the Steady Stick as an extension of my arm: lightweight, shorter, rubber-tipped, and with flex so I can apply pressure and take it away instantly. That timing teaches clarity without pain, and that’s how a worried horse becomes brave.

Slate used to panic every time I picked up my steady stick.
We don’t know what happened in his past — but his fear was real.

In this video, I walk him through rebuilding trust, one touch at a time, using the Steady Stick — a humane, flexible tool designed to communicate with clarity, not force.

Slate used to be terrified of my training stick. Just picking it up was enough to send him into panic. And honestly, I don’t blame him — we don’t know what h...

When a horse bites, most riders step back.
It’s instinct — but it’s also the moment that teaches the wrong lesson.

In her latest post, Amy explains why biting isn’t really a behavior problem… it’s a boundary problem. 💡
You’ll learn:
🐴 How to stop rewarding bad behavior without fear or frustration
🐴 The one simple exercise that prevents biting before it starts
🐴 Why “no” can actually make your horse feel safer and more connected

If your horse crowds, nips, or gets pushy, this is for you.

Small desensitizing wins → big trust.

I finished with rope twirls and then let Slate rest so he could soak it in. Those little moments are what build a steady, reliable partnership.

Have you ever walked out to the pasture and felt like your horse couldn’t care less that you were there?
No ear flick. No eye on you. Just… grass.

It’s easy to think, “They’re ignoring me.” But what if the real issue isn’t attitude—it’s connection?

Connection isn’t complicated.
It’s something you build in all the small moments—how you greet your horse, how consistent you are, and how quickly you “call back” when the signal drops.

Rebecca shares five simple habits that keep your horse tuned in, relaxed, and ready to connect—every day, not just in training.

When I work with a horse, I don’t hide the rope or sneak around the pressure.

Because real confidence isn’t built in comfort — it’s built when a horse learns, “This won’t hurt me.”
Every session is a chance to show them: discomfort will come and go, and they can stay grounded through it.

Every horse feels your energy before they see your cues.

When I face Slate directly, that energy can feel intense—almost “predatory.” So I shift, soften, and show him that pressure doesn’t mean danger.
And when he finally breathes out… that’s connection.
