Horse riders are always being crazy and exciting.
We have spent over twenty five years understanding horse behaviour and training them, looking after so many horses is a wonderful way to live. Some times its great to be with them doing almost nothing just enjoying the equine company.
“A good horse trainer can make a horse do almost anything. A great trainer can cause the horse to want to do it”
Thanks in great part to Monty, the world of horse training has changed dramatically over the past couple of decades. That is not to say we have all the answers yet, nor have we changed enough. It is however painfully obvious that traditional methods using pain or force do not yield the same results as a horse trained through trust, with incremental steps and utilising a varied toolbox.
Good groundwork is essential for a horse who is a joy to handle. Never pulling or barging, standing still when required as well as backing up and moving sideways, these skills will spill over into all aspects of dealing with your horse.
Do you know what horses need after being in the sun?
When our horse and ponies have been out in the fields most of the day and its been very hot they all like to have a long cool drink on the way back to the stables, stopping off and taking turns to drink they enjoy a refreshing moment. I wonder what Molly is looking round at between drinks. Well done to the girls helping them stay cool. Click on link to watch our short video.. Ponies drinking
