21.01.2022 My little helpers ensuring the pony’s get their lunch feed and water

16.01.2022 I currently have spots available for morning and/or afternoon feeds if you don’t have time between work and dark and need a hand feeding up send me a message! I’m also happy to include any other pets on your property if needed! Experienced with everything from Rabbits to Brahman Bulls so you know they will be in safe hands!

14.01.2022 http:// Friday Fact - Dealing with baulking // First and foremost, if the horse baulks at obstacles, it should never be punished. The horse is simply showing you tha...t its training is not consolidated at this level and the horse is experiencing fear or confusion. It's important to rule out any physical problems such as pain before attempting to re-train the horse. Re-training should begin at home over low, non-threatening obstacles (even poles on the ground if the horse shows the behaviour there). When the horse starts to slow/baulk on approach, its head should be maintained facing the obstacle; any turning away steps should be corrected with an opposite turn step signal. The horse must never be turned in the direction in which it veered. The signal for 'go' should be applied until the horse steps forwards (even one step at this point). The outcome is that the horse goes over the pole/obstacle, but remember that it is simply the 'go' response that is being trained - the pole is incidental - so every correct step must be reinforced with release/reward. It is important not to let the horse turn away from the obstacle because as this removes the obstacle from the horse's visual field and puts distance between the horse and the obstacle, the horse remembers the turn away as successfully solving the problems. This is classic 'escape learning'. Don't forget that you are likely dealing with fear, so train slowly and gradually, start at a distance if needed, and reward often. Do not increase the challenge until the horse feels confident and comfortable with the previous level. **This is a stock photo for attention purposes only.

10.01.2022 http:// Terminology Tuesday - The Shaping Scale // In last week's post, we spoke about Obedience (the second step on the shaping scale when training a new response).... Today, we focus on Rhythm. Rhythm occurs when multiple strides emerge from one light aid, and the horse continues to move in this way. For the trainer, this means: one light aid should result in multiple strides with a maintained speed. Applied to a basic response, such as 'go forward': Horse keeps going forward from one light aid, then maintains changes in speed and stride length. Applied to a transition, such as canter: Horse maintains canter from a single aid, learns to lengthen and shorten canter. Applied to a movement, such as lengthening: Horse learns to lengthen without quickening from one light aid (transitions begin in slower tempo), Rhythm and timing of your horse's steps is a key element of shaping, so spend time practicing and learning this response, and let us know if you have any questions. Now we have rhythm and can make adjustments to the horse's rhythm, we need to train the horse to remain on our line without being held there. This level is called Straightness and we will discuss this next week. (Excerpt from the book 'Academic Horse Training', p. 42)
