BETTY & ANNIE (ONLINE LEARNER)

You changed how I looked at things, and it changed everything. I had bought a horse who had no ground manners at all. The first time I took her for a walk she bolted, rippng the lead rope out of my hands. After the second time I got some help. I ordered dvds and studied and listened. I was not a leader, I needed to be the boss, get big, loud. I gained some control but she was becoming aggressive! You stopped me, said how horses only do what they feel they have to do to survive. It was huge, I cried and changed my whole presence with her. I learned +R and we made great strides. I had to change myself too. That has been hard, to learn to be calm and present. You changed our whole way of interacting by changing one word. From half a world away in Alaska!

It changed everything. I can not thank you enough. I also learned from your posts about disassociation. She would look away, run away stsnding still. Again I had to change. We have come a long long way, and she taught me so much. Im taking what I've learned to train Annie and Adi.
