Brandy's last cobcast clip. We were having a lovely time in every clip and the weather was good too, unlike today. It's unbelievably harsh, grey and stormy. The horses can't help but be effected by the strength of the wind, except for Brandy who... vimeo.com/343382949
There comes a point in the relationship where 'training' evolves into something deeper; a comfortable rapport and mutual understanding. Brandy knows what is expected and just as importantly, is in agreement. This allows communication to have a... vimeo.com/342920229
After multiple attempts to post yesterday I had to admit defeat. So annoying when Facebook does that but everything is ok today thankfully.
I hope you've enjoyed watching Woody as much as I've enjoyed sharing these session clips. I'm discovering... vimeo.com/322205700
What a day it's been, the wind was so strong and the clouds so dark it felt like the end of the world was upon us. A ferocious rain descended in the afternoon accompanied by hale and Woody was very glad to come in.
We're enjoying each other's... vimeo.com/322190199
We're half way through now with this fourth clip where I talk about the benefit of release for Woody. Self generated release is very helpful in reducing tension and nerves. Tension in the body is not always obvious, even our own! I'm so pleased... vimeo.com/322183450
With a quite momentous achievement behind us, we join one of the lanes taking us towards home. I'm sure Woody feels very pleased with his accomplishment. From my position walking behind, I really felt there was a commitment on his part to carry... vimeo.com/321551255
Woody had no affinity for woods from which his name is derived and more than that, it seemed he could barely function in them. His reactions were quite unique so I knew that the possibility of finding a way forward wouldn't necessarily follow the... vimeo.com/321532990
A new cobcast update with Woody! When we went into the wood in the first series, Woody found it all so difficult he almost couldn't move.
I decided against taking him there for the foreseeable future in favour of what I thought would be an easier... vimeo.com/321500699
We're almost home and before I take him to his stable, we go to some of the trouble spots in the yard. We do this regularly as part of our routine, it's another form of
partnership consolidation practice.
I hope you've enjoyed the third cobcast... vimeo.com/310743827

We've had the best time, we both enjoyed our session, even more so now we've overcome another major hurdle; going up the hill to home without incident. There was a time in the beginning when we were able to negotiate the homeward journey on the... vimeo.com/310524844
I'm thrilled to turn a corner so important for Woody's future well being, I consider it a milestone. While the general objective was to overcome the many problems that surfaced in the wood, there has been positive changes in other areas of possibly... vimeo.com/310285010

Woody was very troubled by woodland paths, venturing down them led to some
really unusual reactions as seen in previous cobcasts. After all the new kind of
work we've been doing, I decided we would go to the same place to see it made any... vimeo.com/309853576
In this series of clips I hope to show some of the positive changes since the previous cobcasts. As I’ve said before, it’s not a case of training Woody, in many ways he’s un-trainable, at least in conventional terms, from damaging past... vimeo.com/309828161
