Starting the young horse
This 2 or 4-day course covers the all the work in preparing a young horse for his first saddle and rider in a stress-free way. John has helped thousands of horses and people over the years so you can share his secrets of achieving a partnership based on trust and understanding.
Create a solid foundation in the young horse’s education, building on confidence and trust to give the horse a great start in life. Prepare your horse to become a balanced ridden horse whether Western or English trained.
The majority of remedial/problem horses we have worked with have had traumatic experiences with their first saddle and rider. This course teaches you:
- vital safety tips to ensure both you and the horse remain safe when introducing first long lines, saddle and rider
- how to introduce the horse to new experiences by working through his mind, helping him understand what he is being asked and gaining his confidence
- important skills to help you and your horse progress together
- skills that will help you in the future with horses
How far we progress during either the 2-day or 4-day course depends on the horses we are working with and their level of training. This course is suitable for anyone with a youngster who wants to learn together. You are welcome to bring your youngster at no extra cost. Or you can come without a horse to learn more about horse training in a compassionate way, working with the horses at the John’s yard.
