By popular demand and lots of suggestions for such clinic, I bring you... ‘Pre School ringcraft’
These clinics are to be held fortnightly each month until summer time, one will be a Tuesday and one will be a Saturday.
I would like the groups to become progressive and you will each be sent home with a continuation plan on what we have covered.
Each of you will have different things to get from the clinic so we will introduce each pair at the start and what you’d like to build on as handlers.
We can start with each horse individually, discussing as a group so we can all learn what is being taught and knowing where to start with each horse. I will demonstrate and start of each method as we go.
This gives also gives the horses an introduction to settling into new environments without feeding off others energy.
As it becomes productive to introduce more than one horse to the arena we can do so confidently and relaxed.
I will be covering a bit of everything to do with preparing horses for ‘yard/work life’.
Good Horses are Made.
Obviously the participants will determine where we start. We start where is needed with each horse... until they’re soft and content with everyday tasks and needs in new environments and eventually distractions.
Some starter ones, touching, handling, pressure from head collar, leading well, feet and legs, farrier prep, washing, bandages, standing, socialising in hand, poling, equipment introductions, desensitisation to the basics like: sprays, scissors, trimmers, wormers, creams and ground hazards.
Body control, bringing us into foundation training and groundwork.
