I cannot tell you how happy I am that Miss Button has promoted me to Stable Mistress. Thank all of you for being my family....
I have loved every one of you that I have gotten to train and work with. I also want to thank those adventurous ponies and
trainers, who are testing some of the new games I am creating to include several ponies-in-training at a time.
We
have over 300 members of our Farm and about 40 trainers. So, it will be great to have ways to take a number of ponies out
and have them all feel as if they are getting a great work out. Sharing experience can help others to understand a part of
one's life that they may never get to experience first hand.
Stable Mistress Atheena Hyun has begun training ponies
at the Frilly Filly Farm Stable in Second Life. She brings an outlook to the stable that comes from being taught and raised
on horses. It has been her life for her lifetime of 44 years, so far.
This site is here to help those who intend to
use her training techniques. It will help you to understand her technique, offer definitions of the words she may use, as
well as provide some explanations of general equine behavior. Things will change as she settles into the differences between
SL Ponygirls and RL Horses.
It is with an open heart and a total love of horses that she offers her services to those
who share her passion. Best wishes to all those who have chosen to have Atheena Hyun as their Equine Relations Consultant.

| This is the way I like to see horses.... all free and running. |
When you are riding or training a horse, and you are not using tack on them it is called working a horse in FREEDOM. This
means that the horse is with you because it wants to be. Because it trusts you enough to want to be with you at all times,
it listens to you so intently that the mere lean of your body against the horse will tell him which way to turn, speed up
or stop. When you have a horse on total freedom with you, it shows the most respect a horse can give you as it means it accepts
you as its leader and protector.
To me the best trainers have that kind of love and trust between them. This is how I have worked with my horses IRL, and
why I have been considered a great trainer. Many people often say to me, "Why will my horse let you do that, and he won't
let me near him?" Horses know right off who is a leader and protector. Fear or hesitation on your part makes them have
to step up and lead, but then they lose their respect of you.
Horses lose respect for you immediately if they sense any anger or abusive behavior, and they will become quite dangerous
in a very short moment. I am very much like a horse in this. I follow unless I have to take the lead. And, if you ever get
in a fight with me, it will be until the end. Remember there is physical bondage to force submission and then there is the
bond of trust that needs no force where the pony loves so much they will do anything you ask them too... even if they are
afraid they cant make that jump or get across that water.
