Going walk about -
In this video I introduce the idea of steering and going, while keeping in mind the end goal of creating a calm, happy horse that says YES to any question asked of her! This was filmed after her first liberty session and was her second ride with me on. I will now continue with the exercises from these first three videos over the next week or so before getting going at trot, canter and taking her out and about in the lorry! As the beginning is so important I wanted to show how I would go about those early stages.

**Note - After this video was filmed someone offered Ferne a new home where she will continue with her training and have a great fun filled life. Emx

Notes -Ferne is a 4yr old Connemara mare

Hi Everyone, this is part two of Ferne's journey.
Today I introduce her to the idea of working at liberty for the first time, I demonstrate how I start working with a horse at liberty as well as showing you what to do when it doesn't go quite according to plan! This is of course a totally real actual training session recorded and unedited so you can see the whole session with out just seeing only the cool bits! Although it might be tempting to watch this video without seeing part 1, I believe the video makes a lot more sense and will work better for you with your own horse if you understand the foundations from the first video regardless if they are young or not! I hope you enjoy.
Best wishes Emx

Notes -Ferne is a 4yr old Connemara mare

This video is a real time training session with a 4yr old Connemara Mare called Ferne. This is my approach to backing a young horse and how I go about starting to be able to develop a friendship so that we can work at liberty together.
This is part one of what will be a series of videos to enable viewers to follow a young horses journey without editing to show just the 'wow stuff' of a finished Liberty Horse. I hope you enjoy! Emx

Hi Everyone, Love your pony,
This summer I cycled 1034km across Europe following the Rhine river from Basel (Switzerland) all the way through France, Germany and finishing in the Netherlands. I took with me my two miniature ponies Percy (spotty) and Stan (Chestnut) as well as my little Dachshund dog Inca. Our trip raised money for the working horse charity The Brooke. I hope you enjoy part one, part two will be out next week. Thank you for watching! Emx

Pony Beach Adventure - Each year I take my Connemara Liberty team to Connemara National Park to live on a remote Island and embrace island life! With fantastic beaches for Cockling, and Foraging for my food. I have never had been very good at fishing but I thought I would give it a go from the back of my gorgeous Connemara Nahla...then even if I didn't catch anything I still got to spend quaility time with my buddy! Emx
Connemara National Park is on the North West Coast of Ireland - 600 miles from our home in Devon!
All my Connemaras came from Clifden Pony sales right in the heart of Connemara.
Nahla is a 8yr old 15.1hh Gelding

Who doesn't love a country christmas?! I was asked this year to come up with a Christmas Video, an idea instantly came to me from my childhood, my Dad used to make us do all the animals before we were allowed our breakfast each day, an ethos that I very much still adhere to even today. Combining a large selection of my animals and my three yr old neice Lexi Massingale we have created this christmas video, I hope you enjoy it. Emx

The Highlands Full Film

The Island Project was an adventure of a life time, I learnt so much during the month but it also left me a whole new set of questions!The horses didn’t need me on the island they were totally free but they did have a restriction....the water around it!

I wanted to now know what happens to a relationship if you travel on a journey, could I back two horses, be able to ride them and have them at liberty while traveling across the Scottish highlands, every step we took would be unknown, if I lost them they would literally be able to run over thousands of acres.

This film is about my journey, I camp out every night, film myself and carry all my kit and equipment. The aim is to cross the Scottish highlands coast to coast with two unhandled Highland Ponies (they hadn’t even been taught to lead before) it turned out to be quite an adventure!
Horses
Hector - Highland Pony
Hewie - Highland Pony
Dog - Tati (resuce Pointer)

There is no better way to get to know the ponies that by camping out under the stars with them. I had just received their new pack saddle so I took them up on to Dartmoor to find a good spot to camp. This was the first time Louis the Cat or the Ponies (except Albert & Ernie) had ever been camping.

Investing time in Flint. Flint is one of my wonderful Liberty Team ponies, he is a fantastic team player but individually he shows such talent so I wanted to take some time to just play around together at Liberty. I am not asking much from him as I am more interested in the friendship between us rather than what he can do for me. This is the first time working on his own and first time up on Bodmin Moor. We had fun!
Flint is a Connemara
He is wearing Cavallo hoof boots to protect his feet from stones.

This Morning I took my my tribe for a little adventure ride along the Cornish Cliffs before heading down on to the Beach. Sadly I got the tides a bit wrong which ment the tide wasn't far enough out for a canter, but still a great experience for everyone. It was the first time Charlie (the Donkey) has joined us. I am super excited to have him in my tribe as he is so sweet. The idea of have mixed species in freedom is something I am really enjoying, this is just the start for us but they seem to enjoy each others company as much as I do so hopefully we can learn lots along the way.

Animals
Comet - Connemara Pony
Louis - Cat
Inca - Dachshund
Albert - Shetland Pony
Charlie - Donkey

Always trying to find ways to improve my balance! lol It's funny when you add an another element like two Donkeys or the Cat you suddenly find the thing that was initially hard becomes second nature and you adapt to quickly change your focus to the area it is needed....Never stop dreaming!

Connemara Ponies are Comet & Barney who are 7 & 6yrs old respectively.
The two Donkeys are called Walter and Willow, they are both from a rescue charity, they were wild, unhandled and in a horrible state when I got them 18months ago. They have been learning to drive, this was the first time I had tried roman riding with them upfront!
My cat is called Louis he is a 6yr old Siamese
Inca is my naughty (but perfect) Dachshund!
