The First Ride - The Power of 2

first ride saddle
We want that first ride on a horse to go well. For both the rider and the horse. We can take many steps to ensure the first ride on a horse is a great one for both of us. In our horsemanship style, we ensure that our horse knows everything they can about being ridden before we swing a leg over for the first time. But we eventually have to get on and that introduces a disconnect - the handler is now in a new position: behind the horse's eyes and above their head. This adds some additional pressures to the horse that we can't replicate in the groundwork. In this webinar, we dig right into bridging that gap using a powerful resource - another person. My friend, Dale Weiers, Wildie Zeus and I team up to show you how we can make that first ride a success.

First Saddling - Saddle Issues

saddle colt starting saddling
There are many steps before putting a saddle on a horse. A horse that struggles when saddled has missed out on these critical steps in their training. Every horse is a unique individual and responds differently to different pressures. The saddle is combination of many different pressures. When we're starting a colt, restarting a horse or working through saddle/cinch issues, it's important that we make sure we cross all the t's and dot all the i's before we pull that cinch tight. In this webinar, we'll explore some easy exercises you can do to prepare a horse for the saddle for a first time and help a horse with saddle anxieties. This isn't just the cinch, but everything associated with the saddle and the space around, above and below it.
