June 30, 2009 A much better day today. She came up to me in the paddock and I brought her to the arena and she grazed while I sat nearby. After a while, we started some slow leading from behind/mimicking. I matched her energy, gait, turns, and footfalls, and because she wasn’t trying to run away she ...

I got the best horsey welcome last night when I went to the barn. Cody, of all horses, knickered at me like I was his long lost BFF. And it wasn't even close to dinner time so who knows why he was so excited to see me but it was nice anyway. I groomed Axel first while the barn owner was riding one o ...

I love round pens. Whether you are working a broke horse, a green one, or a two year old….I think round pens are an invaluable tool. When I was first working Alibi several years ago, we used round pen work in a variety of ways. First, I used the round pen as a method of exercise. He was young and I ...

It's definitely starting to get warm and humid. Both horses came up to me in the pasture to see what kind of fun things I had for them. I guess that means Cody isn't holding a grudge after our long trail ride on Sunday. Axel was pretty lazy when I tried to get some circles out of him in the arena be ...

Groundwork provides an opportunity to examine the horse's movements, gauge the horse's well being, clarify any communication problems, and expand a horse's training. It's a useful tool, even if it's not very exciting.

Leading work on arcs and circles, and preparing for lunging. The horse is a 2.5 year old filly who can be dominant and pushy with her handler. This is about a week into the training process of getting her to follow at a good distance, being responsive to the handlers voice and body commands, and lea ...

June 5, 2009 I rode her! After some groundwork (in which she got quite worked up as we were working on lunging, and kept skidding out on the side where Caspian/Deo were and hitting the halter and then stopping), Catherine held her and I got on! Catherine fed her treats almost constantly and so did I ...

I’ve put together a playlist of all my leading and lunging videos to show the progression of teaching a horse these basic skills. You can visit the entire set of the videos at my YouTube page. Leading allows a natural progression to lunging. While doing this with ZZ, my two year old filly that this ...

Video showing different positions - in front, at side, and behind the horse - during the process of leading and teaching the horse to lunge. Getting the horse comfortable with the handler at all three positions - while maintaining pace and form - improves the later lungework and prepares the horse f ...

Walter’s behavior around other dogs is getting better. He’s only barking and lunging at other dogs some of the time, instead of every time. There are some houses with dogs that we walk by regularly, and before, Walter would try to hang around and start barking. That would lead to the other dogs bark ...
