Schooling the young horse

Schooling the young horse Horse Training page for Abelone Petersen Formerly A.C.E. A Good Foundation in horse training sets the stage for future success."

Equine Services, "Abby" Edwards 50 years of riding experience has previously trained 520 horses 200 of them were Thoroughbred race horses .”As horse populations dropped and breeders left the valley, died or sold out, I quit horse training off and on for 8 years. I got no fame or recognition from humans in general, since I was only the "Babystarter" for a vast majority of these prior mounts. Other

trainers who got to finish, show and race these safe and willing prospects, they took the training titles for the Champions and Top Tens. Horse trainers in general are always looking for that horse who will "Put them on the map" This one found me ! Thank you so much Morgan Lee Fae Fox Loren for choosing me to train your horse(s) this year in the Year of the Horse and rekindle some shelved dreams . I will share some common sense training procedures and safety tips on this page. I follow no school created by others I have no Parelli certificates or others. I have years of experience from the school of hard knocks in all disciplines of horse training and with all breeds of horses .I have seen the best and the worst of them all and learned the most from these experiences.

Bitless bridles come in many styles. Many have More pressure points on the head than a bitted bridle. The bosal is the oldest and best design for clarity and uses the least amount of pressure points nose bridge and poll. Many Horses prefer bits it gives them something in their mouth to soothe or pacify their mind. I had a very well trained mare at a riding school they wanted her bitless. In canter she bolted and would not stop from rein pressure . Since she was fully trained I was able to neck rein her into a spiral to slow down ease and calm her. Some horses dont like all the pressure points on the bitless bridles . The cues dont feel the same. I dont hate bitless but you need to overcome our biases and just Listen to the Horse ! Some prefer it Some dont !
