About “Me” – I was an Equine 4-H Leader for well over a decade and have been a Licensed Riding Instructor since 1994. I have helped hundreds of children learn about horses and horsemanship through classes and camps as well as private and small groups. Our horses here on PENZANCE are gentle and well trained to have children around them and handling them. Parents are encouraged to stay with their children and learn, too! I am a Born Again Christian and will reference our Father with respect to the topic study but will not beat anyone over the head about Him! *grin*

I look forward to meeting you and your child(ren)! Please feel free to call me with any questions at 860-556-9199 or send me an email– gwen.santagate@gmail.com

Woo Hoo! it’s done!

Natural Hoof Anthology

Wow – finally. Over 600 pages of full-color photos and illustrations all about …. Instant download in easy PDF format! An amazing offer at just $97!! Priceless information in this anthology that you won’t find anywhere else.

NATURAL HOOF ANTHOLOGY

Yvonne Welz, Editor of “The Horses Hoof” has reviewed it and says,

Gwen’s passion for the horse shines through in this beautiful compilation of articles. There is a huge amount of info in here!! Whether you are a beginner to natural hoof care or a seasoned expert, you will appreciate the wealth of tips, advice, and things that make you go “hmmmm”! All articles are written from the “whole horse” perspective – that every single thing we do to the horse affects every other part of the horse. Gwen covers just about every topic related to horse care and hoof trimming you can imagine, with much food for thought, and excellent photos/illustrations. An enjoyable read for everyone on that eternal quest to create more natural lives for our beloved horses!

David Jones, Founder and Owner of HoofArmor LLC has also reviewed it and says,

When I switched from Engineering to Hoof Care 28 years ago, the cutting edge was aluminum horseshoes. The accepted procedure was to balance the hooves, perhaps symmetrically, 50 degrees in the front and 55 in the back, and nail on the proper size horseshoe. There were choices … you could get keg shoes, barrel shoes, rim shoes, gaited horseshoes, with or without pads and that was about it. Over the years I have learned a lot and out of necessity, by trial and error and observations, I found things that could actually help horses, barefoot hoof care being one of them. Now, with this book, you don’t have to go through that. I learned that there is more to hoof care than fixing the hooves, and that there are an enormous amount of factors that we are still learning about. Much of that is in this book and it will give you the head start that I wish I had. Don’t ever stop learning because your horse is depending on you.

And then Nick Hill, owner of V&T Hoof Specialists in Bulgeria … he has seen it and wrote,

I would urge anyone who is interested in horses to read Gwenyth’s book,  You may or may not agree with everything (like most things written), but it is written over several years from personal experience by a very experienced professional who really cares about horse welfare and is always willing to share knowledge. So go get yourself a short cut to experience!!

I am both humbled and sooooooo excited to be able to offer this amazing compilation of 3 years worth of writing about NATURAL HOOFCARE to YOU now. It’s up online, it’s released to the public and you can get your copy as simply as clicking below:

Just $97 for over 600 pages, in instant downloadable format, of incredible Natural Hoofcare information such as what to do about Thrush to Foundered Hooves, how to correct imbalanced hooves, anatomy of the internal hoof, how the hoof works with the rest of the lower limb and body, how you can improve your horse’s strides with dental work and so much more!

Suited for anyone who has anything to do with horses … from the backyard horse to the performance horse.

🙂 — We are EXCITED to begin this new journey with PENZANCE Equine Integrative Solutions!

The Quiet Corner

PENZANCE Equine Integrative Solutions is now nestled in the “Quiet Corner” of CT.

A move from Douglas, MA to SW Florida did not pan out the way it was expected. Many factors played into the decision to move back to New England from FL but mostly health reasons for the horses and humans alike.

It was a good move.

PENZANCE now has the room to offer clinics and workshops covering WHOLE HEALTH for the WHOLE HORSE. Equine Natural Nutrition, Natural Balanced Hoofcare, Clicker Training, Faith-based Equine Assisted Personal Development as well as general Equine Connections are all part of what is to come in the spring of 2019. Plans are being put into place to host Guest Experts in the Equine Natural Care, as well. Stay Tuned!

In the meantime, while you are waiting for the exciting new events in 2019, Gwenyth Santagate, founder and owner of PENZANCE Equine Integrative Solutions, offers private and semi-private sessions in all of the above mentioned areas. If you would like to talk with Gwenyth or schedule an introductory appointment (or regular appoinment) please feel free to email to her: gwen.santagate@gmail.com or call her (860) 556-9199.

You are invited to also connect with Gwenyth on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/gwenyth.santagate as well as through a number of PENZANCE Equine groups and pages.

Please  — if you have particular workshops or clinics that you would like to see offered here in “The Quiet Corner” of CT, jot them down below in the comments and we’ll see what we can do.

Be blessed.

Do You Give Your Horse a Choice?

“Offering animals choice does not inherently mean that humans have to relinquish theirs – or vice versa.

Rather, it is about really hearing what is being communicated and negotiating from there in a way that honours both voices. ” 

I am one who believes in mutual respect and partnership.

I’ve gone the route of “being the *boss*” to “be the leader” in a subservient manner – expecting the horse to comply with my demands regardless of what he or she “feels” to learning  what SERVANT LEADERSHIP is all about …

Being a SERVANT LEADER means serving the team. Serving the other person – teaching, leading by example, not *demanding* but politely suggesting, asking and then not being afraid to change things up if the ‘team’ isn’t understanding what is being asked.

“The servant-leader is servant first… It begins with the natural feeling that one wants to serve, to serve first.” –Robert K. Greenleaf.

No, I’m not saying that horses are people but I AM saying that I want to RESPECT them as sentient beings in the same manner that I ask them for respect.

It’s really quite simple … do unto others …

This article is good so thought I’d share it today:

Enjoy!  and yes, I am looking forward to discussion on it. 🙂
