👋 Hey animal lovers! Thanks for watching! 😊 This morning's video captures many beautiful moments with our animals, starting with a concern about a horse being down, donkey looking to get some attention, and transitioning to our horses showing incredible trust, and demonstrating their deep horse-human bond. It highlights how we work with horses, focusing on understanding their horse behavior and building strong relationships, using positive reinforcement or R+, horse training.

Today I am grateful for these incredible moments I was able to experience this morning. I am grateful Rhoen got up and was not colicing or hurt. I am grateful for the great trailer training session we had yesterday with Cesar and Donkey, that is was successful, and no one got hurt. I am grateful I found a new YouTube channel where a person hooks up sensors to plants, runs the vibrations they make into a machine that transforms what is coming out of the plant into a sound we can hear, and the music that comes out is amazing! I am grateful my ankle is healing and that I am learning what I need to about the emotional connections associated with that pain and how I can heal them. I am grateful for my awesome team at Aspen Park Vet hospital, who will be there seeing patients with another holistic vet, helping pets and their people, while I get to be here at the ranch and continue working on our Evergreen Rodeo Parade practice.

We are here to help you make sure you don’t waste money on tests your pets doesn’t need, while taking the time to address every single one of your questions and concerns, often even some you have not thought of yet!

And if any part of you yearns for a deeper connection with your horse, like what you see in this video today, then, you are in the right place.

And if you want hands on help implementing it, sign up for one of our 3-day clinics, or our affordable group coaching.

One of the main questions people ask about on horse training forums is how do I keep my horse from spooking, bolting, bucking, or just being so scared all the time. If that is you, I have a great video for you on the PROOF of R+ training, where you can witness Natalia totally fixated and feeling safe with me to do a training session, despite a wind storm so severe we thought the roof might blow off the barn. If that is not proof of the depth of the bond you can have with your horse, no matter what, using R+, then I don't know what is. The video is here https://youtu.be/6J8_UAAn7to

If you have ever felt icky, or had a deep "what the?!" about how someone told you to solve a training issue, because you didn’t want to be mean, dominate, harass, scare, or hurt your horse, then you are definitely in the right place!

And that is how I know you are an Animal Loving Angel, here to make the world a better, kinder, gentler place for animals, and, yourself, through your connection and love of animals. So celebrate that fact! Since you woke up today, that means you get a whole entire, another day to make your life the best it can be. So learn something new today, step out of your comfort zone, be kind to yourself, and to another while expecting nothing in return. That is all any of us can do, while we navigate this journey called life. A little better, in each and every way, than we were, yesterday!

Make it the best Friday ever of your life! And if there is anything I can do for you, please remember, I am always here for you, the best I can be.

All my love,

​DrQ
