Hi All, when you first come to the Quantum Savvy Programme, you will hear a lot about giving the horse comfort, giving it release, and that the horse learns by when release/comfort is given. The Quantum Savvy Release Focused Training(TM) Programme is founded on three key principle, 1. Horses should always have options (humans should also). 2. Horses learn by when comfort is offered (not pain). 3. Horses learn by following a progressive program (not mindless repetition) By fo...

Hi All,
One of the discussions on our student forum is about what to do with all the tack that some of us have accumulated over teh years of horse riding and competing. I can not say much towards it as my tack shed has always been rather meagre looking as I 'only' ride for pleasure and the saddles and bridles seem to be the only gear I possess, though I found that I really only use one sa...

Hi All,
as you may have read in my previous post, I am working on my gallop and flying lead changes and admitted that my fear of speed has been holding me back. It is not the only fear I have, but it is one of the bigger ones. There is another one I have, the fear of failure, though... this one is slowly fadeing.
On my journey to overcome my fears, I came across an article and it made me realise how wonderful the QS programme is, as it really helps us to ...

Hi All,
time just flew since my last entry... where has it gone?
I am working on my last assignment to finish Level 2. It's Assignment 9... which involves gallop and flying lead changes. This assignment is proving to be a real challenge for me, but it is soooo much fun and I KNOW I will get it.
I used to be afraid of cantering, or even a fast trot, and now I am getting faster and faster and YES... I have galloped... not quite the 30seconds yet as re...

Hi All,
I am once again left wondering where time went. It's already, well nearly, the middle of March and only a few more weeks until I go to the Quantum Savvy Experience and spend a whole 9 days living and breathing horses.
I am attending L1 camp this year, even though I am very close now to passing my Level 2 of the programme. Why you might ask. Because I want to attend the new Instructor Orientation Camp i...

Hi All,
well this isn't actually about doing any natural horsemanship, but it's all about natural (or at least a close approximation thereof) horse keeping, whilst maintaining a viable green space on my small acerage.
I have 2.5 acres on which I keep 3 horses and as you can imagine, in our harsh Australian climate, the ground can become a dust bowl very quickly which is nicer pleasant for our horses, nor for us humans. So, I have started to create a Paddock Paradise....
