Horsekeeping and backyard training, pets and art by Connie Moses
It may be that Hubby and I often do things DIFFERENTLY with our horses…
Our two horses we bred and raised were ponied beside their mom starting at 2 weeks old– introduced to streets and forest trails and other horses, being trailered and being beside carriages and bicyclists, even going into parades as babies.

As I did with Glendale’s initial driving training, I am now following our sessions with the two brothers preparing them to be driven together as a pair. If all goes smoothly, we hope to first hitch them together in July, with help from a professional. We now have pairs harness plus a pole for our [...]
Tom Curtin is an itinerant cowboy horse trainer, with ranches in Montana and in Florida. He and his wife Trina travel around the country coaching horses and their riders, and about a year ago we gave our deposit to take Glendale into his Horsemanship clinic on June 21-23. Tom comes to Gelinas Farm every summer [...]

I would describe the basic concept of natural horse training as teaching the horse in a non-punishing, non-threatening way, using language the horse can understand (body language and cues,) to respect and trust the human as his herd leader.
At the start of my 15 years as a horse owner, I was extremely lucky to find [...]
Glendale at two has just been started under saddle. He is with Joanne Gelinas Snow, Gelinas Farm in Pembroke NH, since Sept. 4 and last week I started visiting to ride him, once he had been backed and ridden a few times by the experts. I am being coached how to ride a green horse [...]
During two weeks in June, Tom Curtin conducted colt starting, cow work, and horsemanship clinics at Gelinas Farm in Pembroke NH. On June 16-18, Gelinas Farm hosted Tom’s horsemanship clinic, and we took our own 4 yr. old Gilford for Hubby to ride.
