Some smart horses out there

Ad Astra Stables would like to introduce Katya.

Katya is a 3-year old quarter horse. Her colour is cremello.

Katya's greatest strength as a healer is a chakra balancer. She is very, very strong in this area and likes to get up close and personal. She doesn't work with participants yet because she is too young still. However, in a few years, her skills will shine!

A day in the life for Katya looks like a day of fun! She loves to play and she is super curious about everything. She wants to help us pick up poo in the field and she actually helps us with this chore by aiming for our muck buckets. She has pretty good aim most days.

Katya loves her non-GMO beet pulp, hay, grasses, and leaves. She also loves carrots, apples, and peppermint tea just like her Auntie Angie.

Ad Astra Stables is very excited for Katya's future but we are treasuring each moment of her development.

We should all have an Angie in our herd.

Ad Astra Stables would like to introduce Angie.

Angie is a 12-year-old quarter horse. Her colour is red dun.

Angie is extremely maternal and kind. She volunteers to work with every person she comes across.

She is particularly skilled in detecting congruence and in grounding techniques.

A typical day for Angie involves protecting the herd and her space. She loves to graze and roll. She loves carrots, apples and peppermint tea.

We are grateful for Angie each and every day.

Ad Astra Stables would like to introduce Flicka!

Flicka is a 21 year old pinto with a super sweet personality.

She is an expert in chakra balancing, detecting congruence and being very clear in her boundaries.

A typical day for her would involve eating. Eating grass, eating hay, eating non-GMO beet pulp. She loves to hang out with Angie and not so much with Katya (but she puts up with her kindly). She loves carrots but does not like apples at all!

This picture was taken first thing in the morning so our stalls and barn have not been cleaned yet. We just loved this picture of her. It expresses her spice!

If you would like to meet Flicka, contact us at Ad Astra Stables.

The science leaves little doubt as to which training methodology is superior. The American Veterinary Society of Animal Behavior (AVSAB) makes clear that “reward-based learning offers the most advantages and least harm to the dogs welfare.” It states that “reward-based training methods have been shown to be more effective than aversive methods. Multiple studies have shown higher obedience compliance in dogs trained with reward-based methods.”
Aversive methods and pain-based tools often used by “BALANCED” trainers (gentle term but not so gentle) increased anxiety, aggression, and fearfulness. According to the AVSAB, “dogs trained with aversive methods or tools showed stress-related behaviors during training, including tense body, lower body posture, lip licking, tail lowering, lifting front leg, panting, yawning, and yelping.”
We at Kean’s K9 are Fear Free Certified and do not use any aversive techniques or equipment.
