I have several blogger friends who do wordless wednesday posts. If you’re not familiar with the concept here’s how it works. On Wednesdays, bloggers post a fun photo. Typically, the post contains no words, no description, just the title and the photo! I’m going to start doing wordless Wednesday posts. If I have any really [...]
Letting Curiosity Work For You
These are some pictures from last summer that I just ran across. I know they are old, but I’m still posting them because I LOVE them! Most horses are naturally VERY curious. Especially if they are given the time and space to explore something new. Horses get scared when we force them to interact with [...]
Rain, rain, where are you?
We are in the middle of one of the worst droughts that Texas has seen in a long time. No rain, and VERY hot temps! The high yesterday was 105 F and the high today is 103 F. The horses are pretty miserable. They spend most of the day standing in the sheds or huddled [...]
Chardonnay and Gingersnap Go Home
We’ve recently had two more happy adoptions at the rescue! Chardonnay is the big paint mare who I’ve written about several times on the blog. We had recently been having a lot of fun playing with her with the noodle tree on our horse obstacle course. We delivered her recently to her new home in [...]
Beau Meets Hailey
This is a GREAT picture that one of my friends took about a week ago. Hailey, who came to visit the rescue, was smitten with Beau and he was totally fascinated with her! I’ve written previously about Beau, our big black and white gelding, such as in this recent post. He was badly abused and [...]
Ransom meets the horses and a report on February
February was busier than I thought is was going to be! Sorry for the lack of posts the past two weeks, I was busy with a conference, traveling to a clinic, and then catching up on school work. The good part, though, is I have lots of interesting things to think about and write about [...]
Running Horses and a Busy Days Ahead
I had a few people ask, so here are the rest of the photos from last weekend. These are from right after Connor and Gatsby left for their new home, which I wrote about here. Since Connor was gone, we deemed it safe to open the gates between the back two pastures. Of course, the [...]
What’s the best way to train an animal?
Stale Cheerios will help you learn new knowledge and techniques to take your training skills to the next level. So stick around, your animals will be grateful!
I'm a graduate student studying the science of behavior and training. On this blog I share stories of my animal training adventures, as well as tips, techniques and tricks to help you improve your training. Although most of this blog centers around training rescue horses, the ideas discussed apply equally to all species. The other animals I work with, including dogs and rats, also appear occasionally on the blog.
