Bridle Horse

Tuesday, July 20th, 2010

Sooo today I put the brakes on my horse for the first time?

Well well my horse is now 2 in March and is already used for the saddle. I was her slit with a saddle about a month. So today I put a brake on it and threw him to subject. It has been very successful. So I just wanted to here some of your stories to the saddle or bridle on your horse for the first time. also what training methods that you then use traing young horses?

Now she wears her ILO and tolerate the saddle - get rows 2 slot or a set driving reins and attach it to a sunbath (not ILO) over the reins should be about 15 feet long, now in a round enclosure or in indoors corral, "said whoa, stand still, get 8-10 m behind and to his cot to go straight, then start to serpentine, a wave, curve left, right curve as a sweet ribbon. As you go left tug inside Kidney and say aloud "Gee" when you fill the curve and turn right, go to the inside rein and say "Haw" as you tug the right kidney (inside the flange, that is the way you always) this will be his front end and get his habit of reining in on the back, when she responds well your reins attached to the tool and be gentle, remember that for the few "whoa" will not pull back - you have to say, "whoa" and at the same time close hands on the reins and keep still, you have set the barrier and will bring her back under itself and win up. When you later in the saddle you can adjust the clamp and tighten the legs, because she can not go forward, she will bring her back in the collection and position relaxed somewhat, not behind it, not against it on. Take your time and earn their trust and respect. Good luck!
