Non-techcentric, very equestrian centric! 🐴
In this video, I share two simple tips to release tension and calm down - to get your horse to do more of what you want, perform better, and provide a better experience for both horse and rider.
🐴☀️
The horse is often aware of your emotional state long before you are. Whether you like it or not. The horse is a herd animal and a flight animal, and this ability has helped the horse as a species to survive.
Typical situations where we are tense without even realizing it are when we are loading a horse onto a trailer, driving a young horse alone with a cart for the first time, participating in training or competitions away, or maybe even at home with an audience? It is exciting to participate in competitions, and sometimes nerves come up a little, and sometimes a lot. Often, this leads to the horse behaving differently than we hope, expect, or have trained for. This behavior often stems from our own tension that the horse picks up on and reacts to. How can we navigate our way in relation to this?
In a calmer state of mind, it's easier to communicate with the horse. It usually leads to better results.

Each year, mares visit Birkelid Tullen, our own top Norwegian Fjordhorse breeding stallion. One of them is the stunning Soltausa. When she foaled a grey colt, I bought him when he was just one hour old. Soltausa and her colt, Gråtullen, came to our farm when he was ten days old. He has lived on our farm here with his father and many other horses. His childhood has been carefully planned to ensure he becomes a healthy and happy horse. A horse with a well-developed horse language, confident in his tasks. Everything has been thought out and arranged so that Gråtullen can develop a healthy psyche and physique and be a good horse for us for many years to come. I am very fond of my little grey dun horse. Hope you enjoy our journey with the ups and downs. You are welcome to ask questions below! 💜🐴
Hey nostr! Have we met? #introductions

Hey nostr, did you know that feeding horses from troughs can lead to dental issues, muscle strain, and even respiratory problems? 🐴💨
Horses should graze with their heads low, just like in the wild. 🌿 Keep their meals grounded! ❤️
Everyone wants to be seen – horses and humans alike! 🐴💖
Just like us, horses crave safety, comfort, and a sense of belonging. They want to be appreciated for who they are. Everyone has something special to offer—and that goes for horses too! ✨
It’s not about doing everything, but about noticing and appreciating the good in those around us. Let’s be mindful of the impact we have!
Anyway, make a great day!
Hey nostr! 🐴☀️

How you present yourself and your horse is important, but the traditional clip for a Fjord horse can be difficult to get right. However, it is not impossible, and in this video, I share my best and simple tips to help you do it well. Anyone can achieve this, as long as they know how, and you will find out how here:

In general, trends can be somewhat unfortunate, as many follow trends to fit in but may not have much thought or consideration for what they are doing beyond that. My horses go barefoot when it is appropriate. Until they are three years old, they are unshod, and often when they are on summer pasture. We live in Norway with snow and ice, and to avoid injuries in the winter, we rely on training horses having shoes with studs and hoof-grip. In the summer months, the hooves wear down a lot due to stones and gravel on the roads and paths here, which is why we use flat shoes in the summer. Our horses are trained six days a week; if they were only trained sporadically or once or twice a week, then boots might be relevant. But in our situation with many horses, a lot of activity, and rough terrain outdoors, we avoid problems like soreness and poor well-being by using shoes. Lastly, we shoe our horses every seven weeks by a very skilled farrier. If we did not have access to a good farrier, the assessment would probably be somewhat different. Poor shoeing is much worse than going barefoot. So under certain circumstances, such as young horses, soft ground, little training, or a less skilled farrier, I am absolutely positive about barefoot horsekeeping.
As long as you see the whole situation and make an assessment based on that, keeping the horse's best interests in mind, it doesn't matter much whether they are shod or barefoot—just as long as it works :)
Hi! I’m sorry to hear about the loss of the ranch. I hope you have the opportunity to still stay in touch with horses. Natural horsemanship is a great approach to horse keeping!
