How do you move a young horse when they don’t feel like walking on a lead rope?
I haltered Chewie's buddy and took Allie where we needed to go!
Chewie was happy to follow. 😀

Even when you aren’t doing "training," your animal is still learning.
I've been thinking about how I can structure my interactions with Chewie so that she is having good learning experiences.

Allie says: Hope you are having a relaxing Sunday!! 😀
(Chewie is more settled in at the new barn and was moved recently to a pasture. Allie is Chewie’s new BFF.)

Earlier this week, I lectured to an undergrad behavior analysis course.
To introduce the idea of shaping, I shared a series of photos from 1952.

Chewie is getting settled in at the new barn.
We’ve been getting to know each other this week. First order of business: find all the itchy spots!
She enjoys the attention and will reposition herself to “tell” me to scratch in a different spot.

I’ve been searching for my next horse.
It’s exciting, but also challenging and a bit nerve wracking!
Last week, I traveled down to Houston for a couple of days to meet some horses.
It was difficult trying to narrow it down …
But, I did pick one. Or maybe, she picked me.
More updates soon! :)

Memories. I’ve been continuing to think about Karen Pryor & how she impacted my life.
I met CJ in 2008. I loved her.
She hated me.
Until I found Don't Shoot the Dog.
I only have a handful of pictures of CJ, but lots of memories. And, I have Karen Pryor to thank for showing us a different way.

A bluebonnet seedling from my garden. Isn't it cute? 😍
And, isn't that long root impressive?
Bluebonnets are a winter annual. They sprout in the fall, grow roots in the winter, and bloom in the spring.
Their long tap root, often 2–3 feet in length, is one reason why they are so drought tolerant!
