If you’d like to support the podcast and all the work that I do then you can! Just head on over to patreon.com/comealongfortheridepodcast and sign up. From as little as a cup of coffee a month, you can help me keep this podcast going. There are many tiers that you can choose from and if everyone who listens gave only $5 per month, it would make a massive positive difference to me. There is a tier in there for a small business subscription just like the one Peter Papp took up from Peter and the Herd, this is the one where your business gets a mention each week on the podcast. Peter works with equine behaviour and trauma recovery. Equine communication. Human and horse relationship building. Peter has had communication with my mare Gypsy, who is the mare with me in the podcast picture and he was spot on about everything so I can highly recommend his work personally. Click here to connect with Peter and the Herd.In this episode you will hear from Mel Fleming from Connecting with Horses and Riding with Synchronicity.Mel has been lucky enough to spend her life around horses. Her family were well known horse people and she was able, through hard work and support from her family, to go through the ranks of the horse world and work at a high level of dressage, to the highest level of natural horsemanship where she worked internationally with Pat and Linda Parelli among many other internationally renowned trainers.Mel is one of those people who keeps asking questions, she never settles for less. It seems she needs to go deep and make sure the horse is alright on every level as her deep need to connect fully with the horse and make a true partnership comes before the end performance result she is seeking. This is what has taken Mel all over the world developing her skills as she goes, the need to find someone who has the answers to her questions.In asking these questions Mel has been able to form her own style of horsemanship.On her website she says. “I think that true horsemanship is horsemanship from the horse’s perspective. What would horse’s call horsemanship and who would horses call a horseman?”“TRUE HORSEMANSHIP means putting yourself in the horse’s skin, seeing things through their eyes, thinking how they are thinking and feeling how they are feeling. Going beyond merely perceiving them as prey animals and knowing the individual beings (the spirits) that they are. In equal proportion to understanding the spirit of who horses are, true horsemanship also means understanding their physical bodies, so they can be ridden with true balance and healthy biomechanics. This is the only way that the ridden horse can stay sound, be healthy, be calm and yet responsive, enjoy their work and maximise their performance. This is what “Connecting with Horses & Riding with Synchronicity” strives to achieve.”Mel has the ability and the formula to go deep into each horse and help build a bond between horse and rider that is strong, and because of the biomechanics element, long lasting and sound.You can find out when Mel is coming to a town near you on her website and you can follow her on Facebook.Mel will open your mind to the difference between the use of techniques versus true connection when working with horses. She will challenge your current beliefs around horsemanship, and that can only be a good thing. I love learning more about true connection and Mel certainly gave me a lot to consider.I hope you enjoy this interview as much as I did.
In this episode I have gone back over the trainers that I have spoken to in each previous episode and found the Top 5 Horse Training Tips.What I love about these tips is that they all have a similar focus. These trainers are from varied disciplines and from all over the world, yet their foundations are similar, their naming of it may be a bit different, the way they do it may be slightly different, but the intention and end result are all very similar. They all work with calmness and taking your time to build a strong connection with their horse.Here are the links to the trainers that I speak of in the podcast.Mosie Trewhitt from Liberty HorsemanshipKirsty Hagger from Willowvale Spanish MustangsEmma Bryant from Equality Equine ServicesValence Williams from Soul Horse RevolutionMel Fleming from Connecting with Horses, Riding with SynchronicityAnna Blake from Relaxed and ForwardDonna Anderson from One Horse Life Australia and New ZealandTo let me know of your training questions you would like answered please connect with me on my website, or through Facebook, Twitter or InstagramThis episode was brought to you by EQUITANA Australia.

Mel Fleming is an Australian horsewoman based in Moonbi NSW, who travels throughout Australia and the world helping people from all horse fields to understand better their horse’s mind, emotions, body and spirit. Di Denton talks with Mel Fleming, about the development of Mel’s own unique approach to horsemanship - “Connecting with Horses & Riding with Synchronicity”, how it focuses on positive reinforcement and Mel’s training emphasis on the connection to the spirit and the individual personality of the horse plus the importance of the correct balance and biomechanics for horse and rider, with an emphasis on saddle fitting for both horse and rider. http://www.melfleming.com.auMobile: 0428 385 745
