After a full week of beautiful horses and magnificent riders, I would like to thank my very like minded colleague Anja Beran from @anjaberan.foundation for organising this beautiful composium!

โ๏ธ Targettraining met een paraplu โ๏ธ
Om het paard te helpen vertrouwen te krijgen in objecten waar hij bang van is wordt hem geleerd ze op commando aan te raken. Dit gebeurt natuurlijk in kleine stapjes en na gewenning aan het voorwerp door er samen mee in de piste te zijn en elke interesse die hij toont in het voorwerp te belonen door het voorwerp verder van hem te verwijderen.
Looking for the rhythm ... ๐ฑ

Restoring the ponyโs self carriage and balance and the riderโs confidence - step by step.
Teaching a pony to self balance, steer and stay in the same rhythm in canter with as little aids as possible of the reins. This is only a phase in his training before transitioning to more rein aids. If you let go of the reins he used to run VERY fast to make an abrupt U-turn in the end... not so nice. He also used to refuse to take the left lead. During in hand work he learns different uses of the reins. Now that he knows how to be ridden on legs and seat, I will slowly introduce the use of the reins when ridden. #lovemyjob #cleverpony #nrps #cantering #horsetraining #horse #pony #ponylove #dressage

So here is Link, coming when asked, following me around, happy being scratched. You cannot see this, but our Shetlander stallion Xander is right next to the arena, so Iโm flattered he still wants to be with me. Iโm also not giving him treats, he is just very tactile with his mouth, and heโs not there yet to skip the part of first touching me with his mouth. Weโve come a long way with his biting behaviour. Itโs hard for him not to channel his playfulness via his mouth... the more alternatives heโs learning to get rid of excess energy and find peace and calm with me, the less he uses his mouth.
Baby steps well done are major stepping stones to the future.

Training @ home.... where there is space and time for mistakes, to do it again, to try whatโs working and whatโs not, to let imperfection be your guide towards perfection ๐
