I have lived on a farm all my life and always had horses. I have always wanted to train a horse, but never knew where to start. My parents gave me a beautiful filly, Mousse, two years ago and I decided that I wanted to train her myself. I started at the library by renting the John Lyons Symposium. I watched the tapes a few times and tried out some of the techniques (but I didn't have a round pen.) This prompted me to keep looking at how other trainers work with their horses. I found Parelli's Seven Games, and it has been pivotal in my success at training Mousse. I am still a novice, but I continue to research other trainers online and employing their techniques as I learn how to play with my horse.

Before I had my daughter Gracie two years ago, I was a full-time professional massage therapist. I still provide massage to my regular customers, but with a child it makes scheduling a nightmare. I am an advocate for massage as preventive health care and way to maintain current health. I encourage you to check out my massage therapy website.

I will continue to be a student and learning about natural horsemanship, natural body care, homesteading and self-sufficiency and noting my journeys along the way.

Thanks,

Jen
