🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉

Today we finally release the new website in Swedish 🇸🇪 Danish 🇩🇰 and English 🇬🇧. Wohoo! 🥳

You’ve been pushing me to create an international website for so long, and I’m super happy to finally be able to provide it. Also very happy to now have both mine and @lovgrenjoakim’s businesses under the same roof. 🏰

So — head over to
✨𝙀𝙦𝙪𝙞𝘼𝙨𝙩𝙧𝙖.𝙘𝙤𝙢✨
and then come back here to let me know what you think. 🤩

I got a question the other day:

— 𝘏𝘰𝘸 𝘥𝘰 𝘺𝘰𝘶 𝘮𝘢𝘬𝘦 𝘩𝘪𝘮 𝘥𝘰 𝘴𝘰 𝘮𝘶𝘤𝘩 𝘸𝘩𝘦𝘯 𝘺𝘰𝘶’𝘳𝘦 𝘥𝘰𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘴𝘰 𝘭𝘪𝘵𝘵𝘭𝘦 𝘺𝘰𝘶𝘳𝘴𝘦𝘭𝘧?

And the answer to this question is fairly simple;

— 𝘐 𝘦𝘹𝘱𝘦𝘤𝘵 𝘵𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘩𝘦’𝘴 𝘧𝘶𝘭𝘭𝘺 𝘤𝘢𝘱𝘢𝘣𝘭𝘦 𝘰𝘧 𝘥𝘰𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘸𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘐 𝘢𝘴𝘬 𝘣𝘺 𝘩𝘪𝘮𝘴𝘦𝘭𝘧, 𝘸𝘪𝘵𝘩𝘰𝘶𝘵 𝘮𝘺 “𝘩𝘦𝘭𝘱”. 🎠

I think it’s very important to recognise the difference between pressure and cues. I am not at all against using pressure/release, in fact my way of working with horses is mainly based on it, but I am very careful with escalating pressure. If my horse is getting more “talented”, but my signals aren’t getting more and more subtle (also, or especially, when learning new things), in my opinion we’re not really going the right direction. 🤔

I much prefer a slow response to a c̲u̲e̲, than a quick response from p̲r̲e̲s̲s̲u̲r̲e̲.

A slow response, but a response nonetheless, is usually a sign that the horse is thinking. 💭 Getting that response quicker is 𝗺𝘆 responsibility by increasing the horse’s motivation.

A quick response from pressure I usually place in the “flight instinct” category. Which is not necessary 𝘢𝘭𝘸𝘢𝘺𝘴 bad, in some cases I do work within that category briefly, but it is 𝗻𝗼𝘁 where the best learning happens. 🐎

Learning takes place when instincts are put on pause and the brain gets its sweet time to process. 😌

Wanna see more of these Q&A kinda posts? Then don’t forget to 𝘭𝘪𝘬𝘦, 𝘤𝘰𝘮𝘮𝘦𝘯𝘵, 𝘴𝘢𝘷𝘦 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘴𝘩𝘢𝘳𝘦 this post to let me know it’s helpful! 🙏🏼🌸

Followers come and go, and as I haven't introduced

Followers come and go, and as I haven't introduced myself on here for a while I thought it was time again. A big warm hello to you all! My name is Norah and I'm the dreamer behind @horsebalance.

When I was around 12 years old I was introduced to the world of horse psychology, when I had just gotten my own first horse and realised that I had absolutely no clue about how to communicate with horses despite having taken riding lessons multiple times a week for years. In 2008, when I was 15 years old I started teaching and in 2011 I decided to go for it and Horse Balance (or rather, Häst i Balans as my business is called in Sweden) was born.

I spend my days helping horses and their humans reach mutual understanding and develop together. I love every minute of it! For me, what I do is so much more than just a job, it's something I picture myself doing for years to come because it allows me to never grow out of the “horse crazy” phase, and I honestly couldn't imagine doing anything else.

I'm also a dog and goose mom and whenever I have a bit of free time and energy I enjoy leather crafting. Many of the unique bridles, halters etc you see my horses wearing were made my myself!

I'd love to get to know you a little better, comment below and come say hello and tell me where you're from, it's always so much fun to see where everyone is!

Still ecstatic about my very very short ride on Aramis the other day. I haven’t ridden him since the vet appointment, and there’s been a few new things that I’d been dying to see if I could feel a difference.

The biggest thing is of course the cortisone injections he got at the clinic. He’s also been wearing kinesiology tape on his belly to stimulate him to lift his back, which I’ve seen makes a big difference.

And yes - I could really, really feel a difference when I sat on him as well. His back felt so much more rounded and his movements more stable. Of course - his issues are still these, this is n̲o̲t̲ a quick fix kinda problem. But compared to how he’s been feeling recently I was very happy to feel an improvement.

Small victories. 🙏🏼💕

I shared this in my story a short while ago, but to anyone who might’ve missed it; @lovgrenjoakim and I will be joining our websites this year, and it’s soon ready to launch! 🎉 Our two business will be run side by side under a common name. It was a long process coming up with a fitting name, but one day it was just there;

✨EQUIASTRA✨

We hope you’ll love it as much as we do. 💖 We think it’s perfect - we wanted something that wasn’t too narrow or specific, as we offer quite a broad spectrum of services. But that as the same time fits us and what we do. Our base is at Stjärnklara Gård, which roughly translates to Starry Farm, and we love that EquiAstra connects to this. 🦄✨

I’m so excited! The website will be available in English, Swedish and Danish. We will still have our own companies (Norah Kohle - Häst i Balans & Joakim Løvgren - Historical Riding), but all in one place.

The webshop is not ready yet, as life happened and I haven’t had time to film the instructional videos. But it’s coming!

This seems like a good step to take this year when my company turns 10 years old. 🥳

The new photos by @zahlo.photo are so perfect as well. 🥰

There’s no such thing as “disobedience”. They do what they do because that’s what they think they have to do or what they think they should do. It is up to the human trainer to adapt the environment to allow best possible learning and through consistent training develop the horse’s abilities.
