Training
I excel in starting young horses and addressing behavioral problems in horses. My training plan is based on a building block concept and begins with:
A. Halter breaking - teaching the horse to give to lateral and vertical pressure and move forward when asked.
B. Longeing - the horse learns to walk, trot, lope, change directions (using lateral pressure), and stop (using vertical pressure) on command.
C. Saddling and Driving - the horse learns to make right and left turns (using lateral pressure) and to stop and back up (using vertical pressure) on command.
Because of what I established through steps A, B, and C when ridden for the first time, the horse already has learned to move forward, turn left and right from giving to lateral pressure, and stop and back up from giving to vertical pressure. You can NOT move into higher levels of training without a good solid foundation. This is why I spend the time that I do on the A,B,C’s of my training program. Once, However, these concepts have been learned, the horse is set up for success in more advanced training such as neck reining, collection, side pass, diagonal, lead changes, obstacles, ect.
It is important to note that a horse’s natural instinct is to go into flight when scared or confused or to go into pressure when trapped. Therefore, if the foundation- building stage is rushed or is incorrect, bad habits such as bucking, pulling back, or running away are established. These reactions are caused by fear and/or confusion in the training process, and this is why you do not see these problems until the horse is put in a “scared” or “confused” position. Correct foundation building teaches the horse to give in to pressure, in spite of the fact that the natural equine instinct is the opposite especially when scared.
My job is to set the horse up to succeed.
