Project Neddy
Project Neddy update!
*In the video, I explain how I go about taking horses on their first trip to such and 'exciting' place, for those of you who are curious 🙂*
Neddy has been settling in slowly but surely. I can gather he's not seen much in his life. And I do know he hasn't been ridden or trained in over eight years. Aside from getting used to the routine here at the farm, I took him out for a little test run to Urban Trails37462:2048:Urban Trails] , he was well over his threshold for the first five minutes with so much to look at and absorb. I never put any pressure on these horses especially for such a confronting first trip. We hung out in the Gateway and let him eat some grass until he was happy to move on his own accord. We did have a look at a few obstacles but the aim of the game for him was just to expose him to all these new things. I was really happy with his processing and his state of mind by the end of the 'excursion!' he does float really well so, I am glad I can take him on these little outings even though he is not ready to be ridden yet. ( He's been lunch and walked on the saddle and I do get over his back but he is anxious so we are taking our time until he is relaxed and happy to let me hop on)

Theodore's first outing to an obstacle course! Urban Trails37462:2048:Urban Trails] . He's been coming along really well throughout his second prep. His owner has begun riding him herself here at the farm. And I wanted to get him out and about for her before he returned home. I was so pleased with his efforts, he ate his way through the course 😂 but the main thing is, he was pretty calm throughout the experience and gave a number of obstacles bstacles a red hot go 😍 red hot go 😍 #farmlife #farmlife #horsetraininrsetraining #ep_method #ep_method #horselife #clydesdales

Theo update! The lovely Theodore ( Clydie) has been gaining confidence and miles under saddle 👌 he had been back 'in work' for two weeks, had a mini spell here (whilst I was at Equitana) and upon my return we picked up right where we left off 🥰 he can be a sensitive soul at times but by acknowledging his 'concerns' and building his confidence, he has discovered he LOVES getting out for trails rides and exploring 😃

VBA Harley, my Brumby in the CopRice Australian Brumby Challenge has been learning new tricks! Quite literally 😂 Brumbies are a very smart breed but this guy certainly catches on quick! Learning to twirl in one training session. This video shows his second training session where the most important part of the trick is teaching him to stand still. Without this foundation, Harley would be twirling all over the place thinking he was going to get a treat for taking the initiative! Believe me, he tried! 😂 Clients often ask me about training with treats. There is absolutely nothing wrong with this but a firm foundation and boundaries must be laid/ taught so the horse does not use what you've taught them at the wrong time ( when they haven't been asked)
