Thanks for this episode and all the others I have viewed. I was thinking about this notion of respect thanks to you last summer, riding in the mountains with friends. My very alert mare suddenly stopped on the trail, with a bit of a pileup behind. She was sensing something. We stood still, looking. The two riders behind crowded on past as I would not "make my mare go," one muttering to me, "I never let my horse just stop on the trail.". In a moment the rider in front called out, " There's a dead elk on the trail here, head uphill." I try to always respect my mare's judgement and knowledge while riding out. She has spotted bears others missed and found places where elk have been gutted out...adding to my enjoyment of our time together in the natural world. I hope I have increased her trust in me by giving her this credit.

Thank you for addressing the opening of the mouth without a nose band. I bought my quarter horse 6 months ago and don’t have a lot of background on her other than at 7 she was a 3x brood mare. She’s light in the mouth allegedly but she puts her head down and and fights the snaffle with no nose band. She’s registered AQHA and I refuse to get “handsy” with my horse. We have been doing a ton of ground work and now starting under saddle. I have a Bosal that I use bareback but when I bought her she had a sore on her bridge of her nose from pressure with the Bosal. She is amazing in the round pen and very sound. Practice with bags/ stick etc. She was also underweight and we’ve got her up to about 50 pounds where we want her. Top line is good. She’s got more energy now and I have always ridden with We are about to start training barrels for her with my niece, but I have to make sure she is sound and cooperative as my niece is only 11 years old.

I grew up very poor, but had the opportunity to work alongside many humble, hardworking and ingenious people in the Badlands of New Mexico. 'Horse sense' is a rare and precious commodity. Your beautiful narration of this book and obvious admiration of the people who both wrote it and inspired it is a fine tribute to their legacy. I wish there were more people like you.

Hi, Susan. Love your channel and all the fabulous info you provide. Thank you. Incidentally, how do you manage to live in Spain, then move to Scotland with the cost of living as it is - especially after the Sham - demic which deliberately destroyed economies across the board? Just wondering because as it stands this year we were planning to move back to Europe, but it's just gotten too expensive and with the justifiable turmoil e.g. farmers fighting to keep their land, long overdue immigration curtailment, Europeans demanding to leave the EU which would surely save what's left of the Europe we used to know and love and so much else. God Bless and happy trails!

Hi Thank you for writing to me. I moved to Spain in 1989 then in October 2022 I came back to Scotland to spend time with my parents before the end of their lives I am now busy ( hence no recent videos) planning my move back to Spain in october this year. The same 3 horses will be coming with me. I am not sure how to explain the "how I do it " . I go with my intuition of what feels like the right thing to do, and I do it. In this way for me things work out well Susan x

Oh yes, I do believe you are right about that. The slowing down and attention to tiny detail by the human definitley help that too ! There is such great power in deceptively simple things and this exercise is definitly one of those. It can be developed infinitley as well into a gracefully elegant school walk Thank you for commenting Susan x
@loredelore7286 6 ай бұрын
@@liveandbreathehorses just another thought hope you don't mind. I feel that in modern dtessage that there is an emphasis on the walk should never be shortened and the opposite is the case, pushing the length of it so as not to ruin its tempo and rhythm, but is it not true that a good rider should be able to do both? Lore
@liveandbreathehorses 6 ай бұрын
@@loredelore7286 I agree that both are valuable and I think it comes back to the point of it being HOW things are done rather that WHAT is done. A good school walk maitanins full energy which goes in a raised action rathe than extended so it will be full of graceful elegance. I cant imagine wht such a valuable exercise which is the base of so much advanced work would be though inappropriate in any way. Though the competition dressage we see today has little or nothing in common with Classical Eqitation ( dressage ) thank you for engaging Susan. x

@liveandbreathehorses 7 ай бұрын
Thank you for engaging ! I am glad you share my admiration for the 4 agreements. I do love thoroughbreds and find them to be amongst the finest of teachers. It seems to me their high level of awareness and super sensitivity force us to truly develop our best selves if we want to do right by them. From a human perspective I kn ow what you mean, it seems like being dramatic yet the horses are simply showing how they feel. I have had the honour to work with some fabulous thoroughbreds who had been written off and really only needed someone to listen and beleive them Susan x

I bought round bales for years. I used to get 34, 1500 lb. round bales per truck load. I used to ask my hay guy to double wrap the bales when he baled. I stored them outdoors and would store them on wooden pallets, 1 bale per pallet. I set the bales on the pallets on their round part, not set up on their flat can. When it rained, the rain would roll right off the bale wrap. I was feeding a much bigger herd. The 34 bales lasted about 3.5 months. I also tried tying sections of pond liner to the top of rounded side of each bale. Pond liner is a lot thicker and durable than a tarp. I found that effort became a mute point because the double wrap worked fine. I live in the high desert of Colorado, so we might not get as much moisture as you do.
