Hi, this is Windflower Farm's first ever blog and I am Ainslie the owner, teacher and trainer here in Acton, Massachusetts. We are looking forward to giving you a weekly window into the daily activities and and lives of our student our horses, ponies, and mule. Our program values not only equestrian skills but also developing a clear understanding of the world of the Horse. After all, we have taken them out of their natural world and into ours. We owe it to them and ourselves. Drawing on the dynamics of herd behavior, students learn how to communicate with their mounts safely and effectively which produces a rich and happy partnership. These principles are applied at all levels of training, whether getting a horse to stand respectfully and quietly while being mounted, executing a half-pass, jumping a log on the trail, or galloping down a stretch of beach.
We strongly believe that neither humans nor horses learn well while fearful or nervous, so each lesson seeks to ensure that the horses are happy and relaxed and that our students leave feeling confident, secure, and pleased with their progress.
