LETTER OF THE MONTH:
January 2012
Hi Sylvia, Just wanted to update you on our progression with our horse. I am so happy to say that yesterday we actually got on my horse, the horse you have helped me with. The emotions we had were incredible. We had a little time off with a weeks vacation and then lots of rain, but every chance I got, I was out there working with him. When we actually got on him I just felt like crying (well I certainly had tears). It was a great feeling to know that he was no longer scared and to see the incredible transformation from a near wild alpha horse to a secure and trusting horse that we could actually get on without fear on his side or ours. I just can't tell you how much this means to us. I have learned an awful lot and I owe a lot of that to you, your DVD's (which I think I have worn out), and your fantastic email responses (which were so prompt). Yesterday we just got on my horse, but hope to continue to build on the things we have learned and I think we will be out riding soon. I will keep you posted. Just wanted to say a big THANK YOU to you. Kindest Regards,
L. H. - La Varache, France

Hi Syl! I was on your website the other day looking for solutions for my 5-year-old who now plays the "let's move around while Mom tries to mount" game. Anyway, thank you so much...I am hoping to try again once the weather clears up! I also have a new foal, so I am sure I will be referencing your site a lot. It is, by far, the best training site around!!!

So remember a while ago I emailed you about a little horse we took in that was scared to death of people? I have some other people that have horses at my place and they do chores for me. On the weekend they were putting the horses in the barn and were all ready for trouble with my horse. I stopped them and said watch this: I moved her into the small paddock and let her run around until I was ready to put her in the barn; I walked over to the gate, called her, she walked up to the gate, waited for me to open it, then walked right behind me to the side and followed me into her stall. She is still a little skittish, but I told them: walk her out in the morning with a lead rope, do not put her into the small round pen at night, call her and have her walk behind you as if she was on a lead rope. Do not ask anything else of her, leave that to me. So from being so afraid of people you couldn’t get within 20 feet of her, to this, and such a nice little horse. Who knows what they did to screw her up. I got her for the price of loading her on the trailer and getting her out of that place before they put her down.

I want to let you know how much the products (Complete Package) I previously purchased from you have helped me with my two rescue horses:
My 22-year-old Quarter Horse Gelding suffered from serious neglect and starvation and in his time on this planet he has probably seen it all. He's a bit feisty (probably what kept him alive) and seemed willing enough to accept me, but something was blocking our progress. However, with your bonding exercises he is now more stable and willing to communicate with me.
He's even found fun ways to give me hints at just how good he was at being a working horse!
My 7-year-old Percheron-Fresian Stallion suffered 5 years of physical abuse, sensory deprivation and separation from any contact with any other horses. In that time he forgot how to be a horse. Haltering him didn't appear to be an issue until I brought him home to live at our stables. While I was able to halter him that first morning, I saw the terror in his eyes. I threw the halter away and went searching for a solution. That's when I found your Natural Horsemanship halter. We've never had a problem or a fearful response since then. His willingness to trust me in making that change, coupled with our bonding exercises and a new way of communicating for him has allowed him to overcome many other fears. He could barely be led anywhere before, and now he follows me everywhere like a big dog.
So here we are after 4 months, working daily in harmony in our little herd. Everyone said it couldn't be done, or it would take so long it wouldn't be worth the effort.
So thank you for helping me help my horses. I appreciate everything I have learned so far and look forward to continuing our education!
