They were all remarkable in terms of how far they had progressed in 100 days of training (or less, in some cases) and while the stress of showing off in front of a large audience put them to the test, every one passed with flying colors. |

Shawna Karrasch Clinic (June 10-11, 2017)| If you ever wondered whether there is a better way to create a connection with your horse (or dolphin, gerbil, dog, llama, rat, zebra) then you need to investigate Positive Reinforcement Training. There seems to be no problem that can't be solved, or at least greatly improved, with this method, and it can be integrated with whatever it is you do with your horse. Am I a convert? You betcha. |

Salt River Wild Horses (March 7, 2017)I learned about this unique band of wild horses that live in the Tonto National Forest, near Scottsdale, Arizona and began following them on Instagram @srwhmg. The mustangs are adapted to the desert climate and survive by utilizing the Salt River for water, food (aquatic plants) and heat relief. They are incredibly beautiful and I made a trip to see them for myself.
If you are interested and want to learn more about them, or wish to help protect them, visit Salt River Wild Horse Management Group. |
