Foundation training of the young horse
In order to live serenely in our human environment, there are a multitude of things that the horse will have to learn. It is by explaining correctly what we expect from them and by installing discipline that we can evolve with them safely and with enjoyment.
The first experiences and learnings of the young horse are often decisive in the further development of the foundation work. All first times are very important.
Before you even think about the work that needs to be done with the foal, I advise you to create a solid foundation with the mother. A confident mare who accepts to work in partnership with you will pass onto her foal a positive image of the human. This is already the beginning of a good foundation for your youngster.
The young horse module will cover the period from birth to being started under saddle/driving and the following topics :
-
Accepting the human as a partner and guide
-
Accepting to be touched on all parts of the body
-
Haltering
-
Basic ground manoeuvres
-
Weaning
-
Preparation for veterinary care
-
Feet handling
-
Tying up
-
Showering
-
Walking outside
-
Trailer loading
Equines have full faculties from birth. Thus, they are able to learn fully at an early age. Teaching a young horse requires precision and rigour.
I offer you my help to ensure that these early learning experiences are successful and form a solid foundation.
"By accepting to invest the time it takes at the beginning, you will save time, risks later on."
I travel and the sessions are held at your place. Depending on the situation, the stage and your skills, you are also involved in the process.
I don't offer a package deal as I adapt to your needs and those of the horses. Young horses training ideally requires frequent and regular sessions, at least in the beginning. It is therefore difficult to combine this with long travel from my home.
