I am a bit behind work that I need to do and I apologise for that!!
Problem is this little distraction... a 13 week GSD!!!
If she sleeps I recover and if she sleeps long enough I may be lucky enough to get some work done 😆.
... I never wanted children but I now have a new understanding for mums. Cocker spaniels were never this difficult 😁
Bare with me and prompt me if I have said I will do something and I haven’t!!!!!!

I have decided to cancel the clinic on the 17 th March. Due to my ill health and lack of promotion, numbers are too low to go ahead. Those who have purchased tickets should have received a message about this.
I have two clinics coming up at home farm holistic livery:
26 May is a clinic on positive reinforcement. We will explore how horses learn and training methods. Practical sessions will be on training each other to do tasks using positive training before we practice ou...r techniques with horses.
30 June will cover the cancelled clinic. In it we will look at social behaviour. Focusing on ethology, communication, effects of domestication and how horses socially interact. We will have a look at what the natural herd at home farm are up to and if they are not up to much (😁) watch video clips of social behaviour.
Bookings will be open in the next couple of days.
I really hope that you can join us and I can’t apologise enough that my health issues have made me rearrange so many things 🧡

I finally went to the doctors and have a respiratory infection that we need to get under control, had it off and on since November!!

A bit of fun.....
But how can you expect you horse to act like they normally do when you are not acting the same?
Are you the same person at competitions, shows or when your stressed as you are at home?
