Don't be frightened of change

'The Current' - Audio on 50 year old Raju one of the Elephants the World is supporting

Raju, one of the most recent elephants that has touched the hearts of many -  

Take time out to listen to this Audio on Raju, thanks to The Current and Anna Marie and of course Wildlife S.O.S 

This is a must, one that all need to listen to so that others don't suffer PART 2

For those of you who have not read Part 1 here is a link. 

So having realised that you are or could become a sufferer of this 

how can this situation be resolved? 

In brief and focusing on ages but we are going to split this up in to three Groups. 

But firstly we need to remember that each and every one of us has a heart and feelings, although some may not have had a chance to show their feelings before, but it is still important to remember that there is a heart at the core of us all where as there are others who have shown a massive soft side but perhaps at the wrong times and that there is also a chance that we have given these people too many excuses for their behaviour in the past. 

We would all prefer to see the people who are inflicting discomfort on others to turn the corner and realise that such and such behaviour is just not acceptable or indeed fair and that better results can be experienced if their negative behaviour can be turned in to being positive. 

Back to the Groups : 

• If the potential Manipulator is between the age of 4 and 8 then this can be resolved in the home with support from additional family Members but it is important that the individual respects one person, this doesn't matter whether it is a Male or Female. But this has to be a genuine respect and not one that has been created through Bribery or Corruption. Natural interaction and role playing with some of Nature's own methods of coping with Bullying or Threatening behaviour can initiate an amazing positive character change, but this needs to be shared with someone who is on  *'Nature's Level' and preferably on their own to start with or with a Member of the family in the back ground. Then at Session two with one of their family more involved and then continue to add other members of the family to these *Nature Sessions/Workshops as necessary. 

• If the Manipulator is of the age of say  9 and 12 the same applies as for the 4 and 8 year old with regards family support but added to this you can get support through the Education System but one tool that is often not used but can trigger a massive positive change in a person is 'specific *'Natural silent training'  using some of Natures Natural tools or utilising a *Natural interaction suitable for the Individual in question. A Member of the family can be present initially but preferably they need  to be in the background to start with. 

• If the Manipulator is aged between 12 and 16 the above still applies but the problem with this age group is they are much more rebellious and have already got the whiff of manipulating you or others. They are physically stronger and less likely to listen. If rebelliousness kicks in then usually a word from someone they respect works or role playing with their favoured hobby or game. Or if the worst comes to the worst Social Services or sometimes the Police end up having to step in . 

• If the Manipulator is from the age of 16 upwards then they will have already had numerous years of psychologically 'working/milking you, the Education Department, their Employer and any one else, sadly to their own advantage. Their bodies will be stronger and they will probably have used their muscle mass already and wont be frightened to use it again. By this time you are not as strong as you used to be and can potentially become frightened of them resulting in 'the Abuser' realising that he/she can control you. This often results in you choosing for the easier option and giving in to them and on occasions, as an example, you buying anything they ask for. However, sadly this does not help them in the long term and feeds their sense of 'being in control'  and of  'how to be in control' of almost any situation. This scenario is a difficult stage and barrier for any Parent or Grandparent to address resulting often with these feelings being even stronger.
• 
  

• If things have got to this stage then the majority of times the only way it can be resolved is if the Abuser admits there is a problem and seeks the kind of help that is needed or  if she/he is caught or evidence is held against them for the Abuse or physical damage carried out. If this happens then it is an extremely sad and pride hurting  time because no one wants any of their family to be in trouble with the Police or the State, but sadly if they have got away with being in control of their situation for  a number of years then rarely can their own family bring them back in to check, this is mainly because familiarity will have bred contempt by that time and in some cases both Parents don't want anything to do with their teenager child/young adult because of the way they have been controlled by them or by the lack of respect the Abuser has had for them as Adults.  

• If the Abuser has got to this stage you may see some of the signs below: 

1. Sadly he/she will probably already have got involved with potentially a negative group of friends or perhaps if they are suffering so deeply they may not have any or many true friends. 
2. May almost hibernate in their rooms
3. They may get up when you go to bed but expecting you to be alert enough to answer their question no matter the time of day
4. Create huge tantrums out of a molehill
5. Feel the world is against them
6. Become paranoid
7. Refuse to do even a simple task around the house/home
8. Use any excuse to not do a simple request
9. Refuse to do anything until it suits them
10. Become paranoid about who you speak to
11. Use Bribery and Corruption to get what they want i.e. If you buy the shoes or car tyres for me I'll do this for you
12. Continually say 'yes' I'll do it tomorrow' but what ever it was never gets done
13. Have a problem holding a job down
14. Continue  telling little lies

This latter stage is the most difficult stage and one that many Parents and Grandparents go through and is an exceptionally emotional one to resolve for all. 

SO, in brief if you sense there is even a whiff of 'total control or mild control' in your young child, please, please, please, for the benefit of your elderly relation or yourself when you get older,  try and bring them in to check now before it is too late. But try and bring them in to check by using an enjoyably technique suitable for their character and not one that they dread participating in. 

The most important thing is that all Members of the family need to be singing from the same song sheet and not conflicting against each other, otherwise the potential Controller will play each Parent or Grandparent against each other - a negative situation to be in. 

There is always a happy balance and if we can all find this then such issues will not occur. Although, admittingly this can be difficult to achieve especially if the 'Controller' is older. However there are ways around this. 

Ultimately do we want everyone's lives to be like this 

        or this       

If you are in this situation, our hearts go out to you, remember you are not on your own, thousands of people are going through this as you read this, it is a known problem. Make sure you have someone to speak to, someone you wholeheartedly trust or a Doctor or if it is that serious and you are frightened have a quiet word with your Local Police Department - most of these Departments have a specific departments for this kind of an issue.

To be continued  

This is a must, one that all need to listen to so that others don't suffer PART 1

We know the world is full of wonderful people but sometimes, just sometimes our youngsters of today can occasionally lose their way and become filled with aggression, controlling antics and ways which perhaps some relatives are just not used to or indeed know how to handle.

A son or daughter is born, grows in to a child, rapidly grows in to a young adult, then a teenager then an independent and potentially controlling child. For our older generations we need to find a happy medium here. Not one where the teenager has learnt from earlier years to be manipulative and controlling or leaving you as Parent (with a capital P) or Grandparent (with a capital G) feeling like this 

Having seen this time and time again, we decided that a small article on this was relevant now, before we come across more older generations who end up frightened of their Grandchildren or indeed before a Parent ends up frightened of their Child as they rapidly grow in to a strong teenager.

For some who are older there was 'Respect your Elders' instilled in to each youngster as they grew up. Granted in those days perhaps this was a bit heavily used resulting in those children growing in to Adults being frightened to say their thoughts. But there is definitely a happy medium and it is this that should be encouraged now before more people are damaged either mentally or physically.

Often the same thing can happen to People with their 'Awe, such a cute puppy' which rapidly has the potential of growing in to an aggressive, 'controlling dog'. So, if we stay on Pups for a moment and ask ourselves why the Pup has grown in to this Monster all of a sudden what could the answers be? Perhaps if we put a few answers down you could add some others.

Could it be because: 

1. The pup was not been socialised at an early age?
2. The Pup was allowed to have free reign of the house(including sofa's beds' chairs et al)
3. The Pup was not taught  acceptable behaviour in earlier years
4. The Pup was not trained to give you eye to eye contact when it wanted something
5. The Pup had no Boundary lines
6. The Pup had been trained with the 'Bribery and Corruption' method
7. The Pup was rewarded for coming back after doing something wrong - or not acceptable (this really comes under Bribery and Corruption) therefore teaching it that doing something wrong is acceptable
8. Could the Pup have been put in another room when someone came in?
9. Could the Pup have been told 'who is it' in a specific tone therefore putting the dog on guard?
10. Could the Pup have been among other negative dogs or seen negative behaviour
11. Could the Pup have gone through a negative experience with one specific breed of dog?
12. Could the Pup have seen the owner being hurt by another dog or human?
13. Could the Pup have had free access to the 'Dog food bag'?

So let's put this in to human terms ;

1. The child has not been socialized at an early age?
2. The Child was allowed to have free reign of the house not respecting others space or material items
3. The Child was not taught  acceptable behaviour in earlier years
4. The Child was not trained to give you eye to eye contact when it wanted something
5. The Child had no Boundary lines at an early age
6. The Child had been trained with the 'Bribery and Corruption' method
7. The Child was rewarded for coming back after doing something wrong - or not acceptable (this really comes under Bribery and Corruption) therefore teaching it that doing something wrong is acceptable, or if you go to the shops for me we will give you this, or if you are good at school today you can go to the Cinema, or because you were so good last week you can get an x-box game (at the price of 49.99 ! - just an example)
8. Could the Child have been put in another room when someone came in?
9. Could the Child have been told to go away when visitors came in which could potentially lead to jealousy and temper tantrums in the future as well as becoming possessive who you spoke to. Or if on the phone and the child forever disturbs you whilst you are talking to someone else (and not them)
10. Could the Child have been involved with other potentially abusive children
11. Could the Child have seen a Parent being hurt by another therefore making them feel protective of the person.
12. Could the Child have had free access to the food cupboard without learning to ask or indeed to share!
13. Could the child have been over protected when he/she was younger.
14. Could there have been no one that the child respected when they were younger, perhaps due to ill health of a parent(s) or the parents type of work.
15. Could it be because both Parents or the Single Parent was working and the child had been put in to some form of Child care programme or under a Nanny, therefore the True Parent was potentially not as respected as the Nanny or Child Minder
16. Could it have been that the child's love had been bought by being given or bought gifts all the time. 
17. Could it be because all House Duties were carried out by the Parent(s) or, if you are lucky - Cleaners!
18. Or it could be because as soon our children arrive at the grand old age of 13 and are able to be left on their own, the majority of Parents go back to work full-time leaving the teenager to study, respect time, respect house duties and carry them out, but, how can we expect them to be like this when, potentially the Parent has done everything for them up until this moment.
19. Could it be that one of the Grandparents went through a difficult marriage themselves, or could it be that a Parent or Grandparent had a difficult time when they were children, or could it be that the main Parent/Grandparent had health issues while they were bringing up their child resulting in their parents or parent bringing them up in the main, or perhaps there was not, for whatever reason a positive example to follow on from - the reasons are endless but sadly does not take away from the fact that there could be a problem now with either a Child or Grandchild.

As we said the List is endless but the next most important thing we all need to know is how do we stop them from becoming controlling once they have become 'A controller' especially if the Parent or Grandparent is weak both mentally and physically? Because there is no way you could suddenly change if the child suddenly turns in to  6ft 2 with the muscles of a working Ox! 

More coming soon ....... PART 2 

All animals can be communicated with, here is a small example

Some of you will know for the last few weeks we have had a buzzard flying in our area and that as soon as we first heard it, he/she almost sounded as if it was lost or had lost its' family.

Well, we started to whistle to it but in the first instance she/he must have been at least 5/6 fields away and kind of seemed to, at least we thought it seemed as if she/he was whistling back, repeating our whistle the replies kept coming back and lo and behold about 9 minutes alter she/he flew towards our area, still replying to our whistle, and hovered above us . . it was amazing to see this and truly made us realise that, although many of you know we speak to all animals any way, that a totally wild bird of prey seemed to acknowledge our attempt of 'buzzard talk'.

Some of you have already experienced this with this specific Buzzard, to the point that you, initially may have thought we were being rude by us interrupting the conversation by saying, ' hang on, there's that Buzzard' with whistles shortly to follow.

The message in this little story is to ask you all to give all animals a chance to be communicated with, don't just assume on their behalf.

Elephant drums 'The passion within'

No words are needed for this . . .  the talent and passion this young lady has put in to creating this amazing piece of drum work on behalf of all elephants is amazing, if only the rest of the world, the ones filled with greed could turn their passion from greed to compassion -  what a difference it would make to our Elephants of today and tomorrow next year and in 100 years time. 

A little cute 'butter wouldn't melt' domineering Chihuahua

 A lovely lady decided to take a wee Chihuahua on board, a cage bred little dog, but part of the promise she had to make to the owner was that she would not let this little dog off the lead. 

So, to cut a long story short, he has not been let off the lead, apart from in his own garden in three years.

He has had aggression issues with specific types of people and has managed to control/manipulate his owner for the past three years resulting in her carrying a lot of anxiety every time there are people in the house or when people walk towards them with another dog in a park or on the street, or when there is a dog off the lead. 

Ultimately the owner, a lovely quiet unassuming lady, has had the last 3 years governed and the time she takes the dog out controlled by the dogs behaviour and her inner fear that something might happen as well as 'the promise' being at the back of her mind so she would always walk away from other dogs in case of a set to and because she naturally wanted to protect the dog. 

With the problems she was having in the house and any visitors she asked if we could help, so an appointment was arranged, although the first appointment had to be shortened, but even in that hour she and the dog seem to learn a lot about what is acceptable on a 50/50 level of communication. Going away with homework they returned 4 days later and the following photographs brings you up to date with this wonderful little dogs story. 

Mmmm, they're bigger than me, I'd better protect my Mum and out stare them!

Well, actually they are okay and I'm not being pulled back,
so it must be okay to sniff

Actually I would quite like to smell  you a  bit more! 

Mmm, there's another one over there - I can't quite smell it though,
a bit closer please Mom.

Wow, now these are big Mom, maybe I had better behave and not bark!

Okay, so I have learnt my lesson -  looking someone in the eye is
aggressive and not acceptable behaviour

So after learning this lesson and finding a pitch that he connects with - remembering he had not had to use a recall before or indeed had to be called back from anything, he was invited to have his first few moments of freedom with another two dogs running free. Mom, biting her nails said okay - go for it - - - -

                                                          

Mmm think we'll stay clear of that  thing!

Well, it's smaller than me, maybe if I go from behind it'll be okay!

Wooooooops, maybe I shouldn't have done that! or, maybe, maybe the
little thing wants to play! 

                                 And the big girl comes in - now little blonde just you behave yourself                                                                                                                                                             

Freedom for the first time in 3 years - YIPEEE
Mom has no nails by this time!

I'll just do what I think I should do - --  SNIFF everywhere!

This was a tremendous day for both Mom and Dog - well done both, what a relief  but more importantly to see this little dog running free for the first time was goose bumpingly moving.

Message in this little story

Little dogs can be as nasty as a massive guard dog

Bribery with food can lead to aggression and corruption

50/50 is the only way forward with any animal, whether pup or elephant

In memory of all Florence Nightingales . . .

We have all lost many people who carried out, with care, all Florence Nightingale Duties and sadly our world has lost another one, or perhaps the next world has gained an angel. 

In memory of a very special person lost today and for many more who were lost during yesteryears we have written a small poem.

Sainsbury's Elephants bags - a % of the cost of these bags should go towards our Elephants

Could Sainsbury's help our Elephants . . . . .

Driving along a road today we spotted a couple of people carrying orange coloured hold all shopping bags, orange being a refreshing and unusual colour for shopping bags we took a closer look. Upon closer inspection the thing that totally caught our attention was that on both sides there was a coloured picture of an elephant. Wow, we thought somewhere in this world there is another Group supporting elephants, we stopped the car and asked where they managed to get their bags from - ' Sainsbury's ' they said. We happened to be just ten miles away from a Sainsbury's so we decided to pop in to see if we could find one - - eventually we did, costing 50p no less.

However one side of the bag says: 

" I'm Strong and sturdy'"

the other side says 

" I'm reliable. You can rely on me to carry heavy loads with ease. Don't forget me!"

Although Sainsbury's bags may be strong and sturdy, we felt saddened that the other side said " you can rely on me to carry heavy loads" well, we may be able to rely on their bags but we should not be relying on our Elephants, then we were softened again at " Don't forget me"  but it is clear that Sainsbury's are forgetting all about our Elephants because not a penny of their 50p goes towards one of the most murdered largest breed of animals on our planet.

Knowing very well that at least 30 elephants are being poached and killed with chainsaws and hacksaws - all for their tusks - on a daily basis and many of their young calves who are sadly left beside their dying Mothers,  are being hijacked and many horribly beaten, electric shocked and bull hooked to become street beggars or circus elephants or worse still Captive Zoo elephants - never to be free again, others end up like this.  

So, we wondered whether Sainsbury's actually put anything from their 50p bags towards elephant causes. There surely must be one person in each town, village or country of our Universe who has as big a heart as this Gentle man - Gary Roberts,  or check the Outlook BBC World Service post dated 14/09/03, and then check out the update on the lone rescued calf 

Back to Sainsbury's . . .

Having asked them at the particular store we were in, none of the staff seemed to know why they chose elephants so they gave us their contact details so that we could inquire further.  http://www.sainsburys.co.uk/sol/contact_us/contact_us.jsp.

Upon our return we decided to phone Sainsbury's to ask them, our first comment was, ' how lovely that you are using elephants for your bags, we were just wondering if you knew why Sainsbury's used elephants, the Gentleman's response was : why, do you like them?. Yes of course we said, if you hang on I will speak to our office and find out the reasoning behind it. A few moments later, and a few adverts later on the type of chickens they use and the amount of trees that have supported the planting of, the chap returned with no particular reasoning behind elephants being used.

We then asked whether they knew that China alone now has only approximately 4000 elephants left in comparison with the approx 150,000 that they had 100 years ago, and that approximately 30 elephants are being brutally murdered for their tusks and many of the calves, left stranded by their dying Mothers, are being hijacked, many brutally chained and beaten to become street beggars. Our next question to them was, does any of the 50p go towards any Elephants Support Groups, the gentleman said, I am not sure,  I'm sorry, I'll need to go and ask, well, a few moments later, after having to listen to their advert on the amount of trees they have planted and where they get their meat from again, her returned and said, no sorry, it doesn't but if you want you could write in to our Contact point to ask if they could put a % of the 50p towards them.

With this in mind we would like to ask everyone who shops at Sainsbury's to contact Sainsbury's to ask them to put just a small amount per bag sale towards a Central Elephant fund point or towards somewhere like Elephants Without Borders, or Abused elephant Sunder's Fan Club or a Coral that is needed for elephants perhaps through Carol Buckley or Lek Chairlet or Elephant Aid International (Carol Buckley).

Just think if 100 people bought one of these bags each and only 10p of the 50p went towards the elephants then that's 10.00 per day . . imagine what that could go towards.

The email address we were given was : customer.service.co.uk

Come on folks, let's help our ever decreasing elephants, let's secure their future and help their future young to be safe - on behalf of many - thank you, so, so much. Please contact Sainsbury's. As the gentleman suggested email them

mike.Coupe@sainsburys.co.uk He is the CEO for Sainsburys - Thank you Hazel and Marie for all your support and of course all who have commented on the various elephant pages including March for Elephants .

Whilst briefly on March for Elephants did you all know that our elephants are hugely supported and helped by Richard Branson, Stephen Fry, Ricky Gervais, Joanna Lumley, Michaela Strachan, Bill Bailey, and more!  Wouldn't it be wonderful if the Director of Sainsbury's could join in! 

So far the London march has Nicky Campbell, Simon Jones, Stanley Johnson, and Dominic Dyer and more following and taking an active part in the Elephant March this year. 

If Sainsbury's could put something towards Elephants that would be a fantastic start  - after all they make a mint out of all of us.  
It doesn't take much to see that Sainsbury's clearly makes millions, surely a few hundred wouldn't be missed, especially if it's to protect an animal who is brutally killed and domineered by Humans and who, if we are not careful will become totally extinct.

It is thanks to the hard work from people like Carol Buckley, Elephant Aid International and Elephants without Borders , Lek Chailert and many others who keep us up to date on our Elephants as well as do their very best to keep them safe.

In another 100 years we want to see 10,000 elephants instead of none, the latter will be the case if we don't protect them now.

A new week, a new beginning, new thoughts -

A new week, a new Beginning, new thoughts

May your week be as beautiful as this little person.

A new week

New beginnings of lives for many,

Let's protect all those who are weak

Rhino's and Elephants of which there are many

Who live in sheds cold and bleak.

They so wish for freedom,

From all who are heartless and greedy

For all who care within our Kingdom,

Please search and support all who are needy.

On behalf of this little elephant and many others - Thank you for caring for all within our Kingdom. 

Links to Elephant related facebook pages -  CLICK HERE - and support all elephants for ever more, otherwise we will have none left.

In China alone, approximately 100 years ago there were about 150,000 elephants, now, sadly there are only about 4,000, we can not let this number become any less.

Thank you Mandy for forwarding this photo. 

Calm, calm calm, gains trust and results for all, if given the chance

Lauder Lass the Horse who touched the hearts of many, is a horse, who, if you have read some of our older posts, will know that she was an abused, extremely thin and petrified horse of all humans actions, noises and movement of any sort that at the very slightest been connected to a human.

Having shared this latest beautiful Session with a Student we thought we would share the Session with you. For one reason only, and that is, no matter how bad or mad your animal is or how bad or mad the Public think he/she is, as long as you remain calm, consistently calm, then your animal will dramatically improve. Recently there has been proof of that with Raju and Sunder  ..  the elephants who had been kept in captivity, cruelly treated but eventually after 14 years for Sunder and 50 years for Raju  were released, much to the annoyance of their previous owners/supposed carers, they both show such kindness and softness which humans truly do not deserve. But now they know they have considerate, understanding and passionate carers who look after them in a way that these two elephants can cope with but more importantly understand. 

All animals should be given this chance and not be dictated to by humans all because of the humans inner fear of the results. 

Back to the Link - Lauder Lass's update - 14-08-21 . 

Take a close look at the expressions of both Lauder Lass and her Student of the day Cherise Halliburton - it says it all. 

A little Equine translation needed . . . can you help

We all know that all horses, in fact, given the chance, all animals are extremely intelligent. Not only do they know when it's tea time, or when you are going away, or what kind of walk or ride you are going on, or indeed if you are having a long lie the next morning or not. They can tell whether you are grumpy or sad, they can tell if you're in a rush or have all day as well as if you are ill or well. They know if something is up they know if everything is okay. Often they know more than us. It's all thanks to instinct and the ability to read body language, something that many humans, no thanks to our own voice language, our daily rush and the natural need to head straight for the B-Line (sadly this seems to have been instilled in us over generations and generations). It's sad really, many of us have lost the 'animals'  unique ability to sense the alarm bells or to be able to communicate in such a magical but silent way, however if we forget about our own voice boxes for just half and hour or an hour a day, we would achieve much much more but above all we would be begin to understand or/and speak our pet's language, or our horses/elephants/cows/sheep language and as a result your pet would start to understand you better as well as the requests asked of him, just as, we, the humans would understand exactly what our animals would like resulting in a most unique bond, a bond perhaps many have never experienced before - just by listening and watching, not talking or screaming.


So, with this in mind, perhaps you or your children would like to help us translate some of these pictures and pop your comments in below or facebook us with your translations of these individuals expressions

And one more question for you - - what else do you notice about these pictures . . .

We will come back to this article in a few weeks time and expand each of these photo's to see if you were right. 

In the meantime, on behalf of many individuals who are silently suffering from depression, sadness, anxiety or some form of mental trauma, perhaps you could do something for us, to help them, next time you are amongst your friends, or colleagues, perhaps you could give them an extra thought, a special thought, but one from the heart, one, as if from the eye of an elephant, horse or dog, one that many humans have forgotten about or don't even think about because of the brave face and act that many sufferers learn to put on. Give yourself a little exercise for a few minutes, it doesn't take long, not once you get the hang of it. Look at your friends in a different light, but silently and not blatantly obviously either, after all a horse or an elephants doesn't stare at you straight in the eye, in fact quite the reverse, they look at you, nine times out of ten, from the side of their eye, absorbing every muscle movement, blink, twitch of your fingers or flick of the hair. 

If your inner animal senses something, don't say something in front of everyone, instead think of an excuse to meet them on a one to one level, but by the way of choosing a subject or a meeting place that you know they will feel comfortable in. Once there, bring up a non-threatening conversation initially then perhaps you might spot someone passing by that looks sad, or role play a situation, for example - a member of your family who is going through a bit of a bad time, or perhaps something about a bad relationship you had been in, or perhaps an issue you had with your elderly parents and you just felt you could not do everything that was needed as well as run your job. There is always a topic that can open or help to open up the depressed channels in individuals. Above all try and make them feel relaxed, comforted and that they walk out of the cafe or meeting place with a much better stance and a smile on their face, a real smile, not a fake, I'm okay Jack smile.

Far too many individuals true body language is going unheard, it is our job to help them pull up from their low, and not medication which often makes things worse. But we are becoming more and more aware that the Medical Profession just do  not seem to be interested above and below certain age limits so all the more reason why we, as a Society, could help much more than we have done to date. 


On behalf of many, thank you for helping to spread a smile.

And a further update on Sammy the horse who bucked like a bucking bronco

It's always a joy to continue or to do (literally) rain checks on the animals we have worked with and here are a few more photographs of Sammy. 

We took our Student Cherise Halliburton along with us and one of the photographs was taken by her while she was riding him - without any blips, bucks or rears - it's so wonderful to see and hear an animal content to do what is asked of it when asked in  a 50/50 

level. Well done Cherise for being able to utilize this method. 

Sammy already to go

Sammy and friend 

Cherise taking Sammy for a ride, how lucky we are to have access to this beautiful country side.

When we first arrived at Sammy's stable the sun was shining but sadly part way round the heavens absolutely opened otherwise we would have had some more photo's.

Sammy we are so proud of you, well done, another animal given his voice and choice in an understanding way.
