Wholistic Joining vs. Round Penning
Missy Wryn’s WHolistic Joining method invokes a horse’s natural instinct to recognize you as their “herd leader” without using fear or exhaustion. “In a round pen session the horse is under pressure to keep moving as a method of controlling his feet to establish the trainer’s leadership in the herd” Missy says. “Most horse’s natural instinct is a fear response looking to the outside of the round pen for an escape. A rope may be used to toss at the horse or a whip to scare him into moving. Once the horse responds in the way the trainer wants whether that is turning in to the trainer when changing direction or stopping and looking at the trainer, the pressure is released letting the horse know that was the right answer.” ...

Missy Wryn – WHolistic Horsemanship Story of the Month: “Don’t Touch Me I’ve Got a Headache”
The 2000 pound Belgian Shire unloaded quickly dragging his owner to the barn with a wary worried look peeking through his long curly forelock. The large bony draft, Denny, stopped for a moment at the threshold to the paddock then darted out to meet the neighbor horse next door. Denny fidgeted and stomped while his owner rushed with fumbling fingers to take his halter off and get out of the way as the greeting ritual began. ... Read the full article

Missy Wryn’s Personal Story of Surviving a Fatal Car Crash
Mine is the typical story of a middle class family that could not afford to buy me a horse, but my parents did the next best thing by putting me into horse riding lessons at the age of 6. My earliest memory of being horse crazy is 3 years old while I played with my Breyer horses along with Jose and Jay cowboy and cowgirl action figures. Dressage was where I started with my instructor Nancy Knapp who placed playing cards between my knees and demanded I post without stirrups. I was always the youngest in my dressage classes competing with grown-ups expected to meet adult standards. ... Read the full article

To the owner’s surprise her first ride ended up with her on the ground, no injuries just hurt feelings, as the mare went into a buck for no apparent reason. ... Read the full article

A Star Reborn: Holistic Natural Horsemanship- Part 1 of 3
When he arrived his mane was dreadlocked, his body covered in numerous flesh wounds and his knees were skinned. The beautiful buckskin paint Arab had just been gelded at the age of 5, only two weeks before coming to my place for training, (that explained the skinned knees). Frightened and angry, ears pinned and hooves overgrown he was very unhappy. His owner wanted him started under saddle with trail training for which I require a minimum of 120 days, but she added two extra months because “Star may need it” she said. “Hmm, maybe he will maybe not” I thought. I’ve had horses here that I started under saddle, finished with trail training and sent home in 75 days, so we’ll see. ... Read the full article

A Star Reborn: Holistic Natural Horsemanship- Part 2 of 3
Now that Star can back up with the slightest jiggle of the lead rope it is time to begin desensitizing, lunging, change of direction and most important teach him a one rein stop on the ground which will translate to a one rein stop in the saddle (the emergency handbrake on a horse). I have all ready desensitized him to the stick, but now I’m going to incorporate plastic bags, tarps, and saddle blankets, along with ropes and taking him on confidence walks. ...

A Star Reborn: Holistic Natural Horsemanship- Part 3 of 3
The change in Star was amazing after his chiropractic adjustment! His eyes softened along with his countenance and attitude. I had not realized he’d been subtly trying to tell me he was in pain. For instance, after his chiropractic adjustment he stood quietly for saddling with no fuss or fidgeting. I thought the fussing was a training issue for which I continually corrected him, but all the fidgeting and fuss went away along with the raised head and hollowed back after the adjustment. Star was ready for the next step to carrying me as a rider. ... Read the full article
