Whinny Tales: Horse Stories, Pony Legends and Unicorn Yarns

Bruce and Julianne speak with Milanne Rehor from Arkwild about the Wild Horses of Abaco Project and the storm devastation in the Bahamas. Bruce spent time over a period of two years working with Nunki, the last mare of the Abaco breed. Since she was in fact still wild, he was called in to help Mimi work with her on the stressful aspects of collecting eggs for future breeding and insemination. From handling during vet exams to stress-free loading into the breeding chute, the less stress she felt during the process, the greater the chance of success. Unfortunately, Nunki died in 2015 before the insemination took place. On a positive note, however, the organization was able to collect her eggs for future cloning projects.

While remaining in Abaco to update and fortify the Preserve to house an equine therapy program, Mimi was still in the Bahamas when the storm hit during the fall of 2019.

One of the reasons people come to a Nature's View workshop is to work on their mental tools through self reflection and awareness. A great way of starting the round pen work during a session is an activity we call "Finding the Middle." Through this activity, Bruce walks a participant through a series of steps that demonstrate state of mind before actually working with a horse. Tune in to hear Bruce's process of introducing the activity and his philosophy behind the importance of developing mental tools to a higher degree.

Sarah Tash is a long-time rider and trainer currently located in Camden, South Carolina. She is also one of the members of the Nature's View team. When Bruce finishes the foundation work on a training horse, it is a real benefit to have options for continuing the methods with a rider who supports and continues the program. Between Patricio "Chile" Guarda and Sarah Tash, there are a number of different ways of building on that foundation for young or problem horses.

Tune in to hear Bruce and Sarah talk about one of the training horses currently finishing up a 90 day training program, as well as Sarah's new horse and his trailer loading issues.

Based on the work of Bruce Anderson, a native of Trinidad and Tobago, Nature's View is a system of self-discovery with horses as a metaphor for your partner, your employer, your family, your friends...just about any other person or situation. Each podcast episode will feature an aspect of Natural Humanship, as well as interviews with other horse professionals, EQUUS Filmmakers or authors, members of The Marley Project, and many other "pony tales." Bruce Anderson has spent a lifetime creating a system that can be used for self-improvement, corporate or management training, law enforcement training or even a horse/human foundation. Podcast host, Julianne Neal, is a 33 year Educational Administrator in the Arts and has worked with Bruce to develop Nature's View Programming for 20 years.
