QH mare after being with me for 4 days of training
This is the QH mare that was with me for training...I figured out fairly quickly that this mare was impeccably trained and responded like a Ferrari to leg cues. Here lies the root of the problem from her owner. He was using entirely too much gas pedal and she was just responding, as she was trained to do. Not many horses move so well off of just a tiny bit of calf pressure and he just wasn’t used to it. My job is to translate the conversations you’re having with your horse. They are always talking, it’s up to us to listen. I try to train the owners as much as I do the horses, it’s the only way to have a successful, understanding, and open line of communication with these amazing creatures!
Day two of training
This gorgeous guy is with me for one week of training. We are working on parking out, standing while mounting and ground tying. Baby steps and patience is key!
Nailing a shoe on a horse
When it comes to shoeing horses I always say, if you’re comfortable, the horse probably isn’t. It’s very important when picking up their feet, especially the hinds, that we do it slowly and get in a squat position in such a way that we keep their leg underneath of them. Pulling their leg out too far, or up too high, puts them off balance and is obviously uncomfortable. Also, it’s a good leg workout 😉 In this video you can see the horse is balanced on his other three legs comfortably.
