Linda works with horses professionally as a partner in The Body Works! and has found herself increasingly drawn to working with animals - best of all, animals respond well to her efforts.
Linda is practicing Parelli Natural Horsemanship with Shar, our 20 year old Morgan-Tennessee Walker cross. Like any other horse that age, Shar has developed a number of opinions to augment her very dominant personality (most other horses don't seem to share her opinion that a 14.2 hh horse should be near the top of the herd...). Very much in her favour though, she is very gentle around children, doesn't even flinch when neighbour kids ride by on loud dirtbikes and becomes very interested in adults (for reasons other than treats...) when they play Parelli games with her.
Our daughter is also practicing PNH with Shylo, our 10 year old shetland or shetland cross (we don't know her history). Prior to us getting her, Shylo had not been broken to ride, but with gentling and proximity our daughter has ridden her a number of times with an adult on the leadrope and an another holding our daughter's waist.
Our son is developmentally delayed and we were recommended to have him participate in Therapeutic Riding. Having our children ride our own horse just felt right (if one "gets to", the other one "wants to", right?). Shar was a bit of a rescue case, having both foundered and developed badly shaped feet. After six months of careful diet and judicious hoof trimmings, she has come around very nicely.
Five percent of the profits from each sale are donated to Horse Rescue Societies or Therapeutic Riding Associations. We believe in, and actively support, these equine-related activities. You as a consumer make a difference, shop responsibly and it will be a good difference.
We use quality components to handcraft tools for use with natural horsemanship techniques. Our equipment is not intended as safety equipment, but rather communication tools for developing a partnership between you and your horse. Having the correct tools without sufficient training in how to use them is a recipe for trouble: do not attempt to use these tools without first receiving proper instruction and supervision by professional natural horsemanship instructors. A haltered horse should not be left unattended in the interest of avoiding injury.
We have no power or control over how our products are used or maintained, therefore we can NOT be held responsible, or liable, for the effects of use, misuse, or abuse, of our products.
This site is not associated with Parelli Natural Horsemanship, Clinton Anderson, or any other branded natural horsemanship method marketed anywhere - but people who practice natural horsemanship like our quality, prices and service.
