Introductions! This is where you get to meet my beautiful partner, Lady. She is a retired racing Thoroughbred, who turned nine on April 27, 2008. She is very intelligent, sensitive, playful and curious. She loves peppermint treats and rolling around in the dirt is one of her favorite activities..
Her Horsenality profile has changed dramatically since I bought her. Here is what it looked like at first:

In the month she has been here; she has gone from that to this:
The tricky thing about her Horsenality is that when she gets upset, she flips sides of the chart and goes to this. The green dots are when I am teaching her new things and going too quickly for her. She loses confidence very quickly and goes introverted. The orange, when she is forced into a situation or she feels trapped ex; trailer loading, holding her too close/ too tight, new people handling her without respect or handling her legs. etc. She is very claustrophobic. But she will develop more confidence over time. :]
That's it for now! Off to get some schoolwork done and hopefully some lunch!
Naturally,
Katie Hufton

It's not about disposable horses;
it's about relationships for life.
It's not about quick fixes and artificial aids,
it's about savvy; true understanding and expertise.
It's not about winning and others losing;
It's about win-win: you and the horse need to feel good.
It's not about me me me;
It's about changing the world for horses, becoming a person of knowledge and influence, and sharing what you know.
It's not about fear and doubt;
It's about unconditional love and trust.
Love for the empowerment of others and trust that you'll never ask the horse to do something that would hurt or diminish his dignity.
Reveal your horse. Discover your potential. Live your dream.
