This is the training program

of  Holly Cool a filly from the famous stallion Scotch Dream

First step for Holly  beginning  June 2010 with 2 years old filly:

 

We start with the ground work * right * left * back * strait on.

Friendly by feeds saddle on and make sure the perfect security. Natural horsemanship is helpful.

 

Keep groundwork to a minimum Juli 2010 after 8 weeks .



 She learns a lot by this, I mean, do what it takes to be safe, but don’t overdo it.

In foal  starting, for example, the young horse needs to be comfortable with his handler on the ground before the handler steps into the stirrups.

But too much can dull a horse. And why are we breeding horses with all this athletic ability and all this try, if we take it out of them with our training?

 

 

Horses who are just feeling good - especially stallions - will prance along the fence, nose high in the wind, mane fluttering and tail raised. Other frolicking may include galloping with head low and shaking neck, bucking and racing other horses as well as getting into playful scrapes with them.

Another expression of well-being and feeling safe is when horses lie down to roll onto their backs. They will often do so after riding, to scratch their sweaty hide and to get rid of the human odor.

If rider and handler have a good relationship, the handler can often lead the horse onto a sandy spot and the horse will lie down to roll in his presence, which is another great expression of trust.
