Training Tip Video’s: “Turn on the Forehand”

Training Tip Video's
Published on

HorseSavvy Teaching Cues are:
1) First teach (slow and steady to allow the horse to ‘get’ what you’re asking.
2) Reinforcing (not force BUT trying to attain lightness and politeness)
3) Refining (invisibility of cues…soft, light and connected)

By continually striving for Refinement of all we teach and learn we will end up with a soft, harmonious connection on the ground and ridden 

Here Solly and I get better at refining a disengagment of the hindquarters into a turn on the forehand.

Games used are: Circling, transitions, narrow corridor/squeeze, fig 8’s done with Relaxation, Willingness, Impulsion and Flexibility.

 

Using some IMAGINATION with fig 8’s and a jump. IMAGINATION is the key to having a good time with games and keeping it fun for you and your horse

Training Tip Video’s: “Not able to Ride?”

Not able to ride?…..Ground work is invaluable training  and can be a lot of fun.

It can help with finding your horse/heart connection, communication refinement, starting lateral work, smooth transitions from body and voice cues and much much more. If you can get the conversation going well on the ground with cues that will work when in the saddle then riding work is half way done  

Here, Solly and I, work on some ‘spook busting’ with a ball. You’d not believe how scared he used to be of this but how far he’s come from persistent consistency with it.
