Shalico made his debut at the Ten Year Anniversary Cowboy Dressage World Gathering and Show,, North Queensland.

A challenging dry creek crossing, with time running out.
มุมมอง 32วันที่ผ่านมา
We went back to the same creek crossing from the week before to give it another go. Last week there was a puddle and the other part of the creek was flowing. We took about 30 min to try and get him across, using a lot more pressure than this time. He finally went across when he was led, so it was a kind of a win. This time I was solo and took more time using pressure and release. But did we get...

This is an excellent video. Thank you. But I have a related question. Here it is. I have been doing this on my land for about 50 years and have a fairly mature dense working system of about 25 acres of pasture. I have posted writings about it and MANY videos for the last 12 years at least. I have traveled physically to the Alps and to Portugal for the purpose of studying it and posted about those trips, first having seen it in Peru and Senegal. I have traveled endlessly on line studying whatever I could find about acequias, levadas, bisses, Suonen, Andenes, socalcos, terraced landscapes -- all part of contoured farming and gardening. WHY? do my posts have so few views when a fine one like this one, within a month has 6.3 K views? I am NOT jealous, but I wonder why it is SOOO difficult to get the word out. See, for example one of my most watched videos. th-cam.com/video/4P60vrSfrGs/w-d-xo.html If there is ANY way to promote this technique you would be doing Gaia a great favor to share it.
I am just as surprised as you. Maybe it's in the titles. Most of my other videos have less than 100 views. I tried hard during our drought to push this stuff in preparation for when the drought broke but there wasn't much interest. All we can do is keep trying. BTW did you subscribe? I'll share the love.
Up here in America, we've been looking into various methods of rehydrating the land and controlling erosion. I live in Western Washington, which like Eastern Victoria down there is a rather wet environment, but we still use those rocks-in-cages as leaky weirs to help slow water and prevent erosion during flood events. Oddly enough, it doesn't have to be a tall rock barrier! There's a video on small rock "dams" in a watershed called Turkey Creek which made a huge difference between it and its neighboring watershed. There were simply a *lot* of these little check-dams set on Turkey Creek by the landowners, most of them only a couple rocks high at best. The results were significant enough that the USGS (Gelogical Survey) asked if they could do several studies on the differences, and came up with that video, which you can look at here: th-cam.com/video/c2tYI7jUdU0/w-d-xo.htmlsi=x0XSriV0qZltJF1_
All of the vegetation and native plants have been cleared. This causes the soil to release and become soft and loose as water flows quickly over. Combinations of stone and natural vegetation should remedy the issue completely and indefinitely.
Yes, you are right
4:20 could be fixed simply by stopping actively destroying the area with overgrazing.
I’d be so twitchy around the dam the horse would feel it and freak out.
Max would have your back!
Wonderful stuff 👏👏
Thank you! Cheers!
Great information. 😊😊😊
Thanks, some techniques are very interesting and very effective.
What a nice place to spend the day with your horse❤
Yes, we are so lucky to have this close to home.
Media Luna, One Rock Dams, and Rock Run-Downs. We've seen a lot of similar erosion in the Western States of the US, and found that using locally-sourced material, like the abundant rock, is very effective if you apply it correctly.
Split your brake pedals and use them too steer

APRIL HOLDE! I MY BOYFRIENDS TRILPE H. 😍 😍 😍 😍 😍
Had to take more than a half hour to do all that. Switching buckets, digging sideways and two machines. My father made a custom swale skidsteer bucket. Can do swales With one bucket with one machine.
Actually it did only take 1/2 hr to dig the swales. After the contours were marked and ripped and once we started on the digging it was very quick.
Cool
Track excavator would have been quicker and neater over the whole length of the job
