Starting your own
young horse.
We have many hits to this site
for 'starting horses'.
There seems that there is
great need to learn HOW-TO start your own horse.
There are many methods to
start a horse, however what we do is non-offensive to the horse, in
mind-body or spirit!
Caution must be learned to be
more aware of what the horse can do that could get you hurt.
Self-defense must be learned.
What do you do to stay safe, and if things get tricky?
Timing must be learned,
because 'bad timing' --can be a time-bomb.
Learn to 'teach' the horse
--rather than to make the horse do something.
Learn to work 'with' the
horse, not to have the horse work --'for you'.
Learn to be a friend to your
horse, not a commander or an authority figure.
Learn the body language that
could get you pitched off, or run-into.
Learn that the 'personal
touch', is different from the 'strong hand' of Ego.
Learn to 'read' the horse, and
to understand what they are 'telling you' by their behavior.
Learn to look for the horses
history to come out when you work with them.
Understand that past
experience 'sticks to the psyche' of both horse and human.
The therapeutic approach to
starting horses is PRIME! It covers most of what could go wrong, and
avoids the traumas.
This is usually learned with
experience, and that takes a lifetime.
What we are doing is saving
you those years of experimenting with trial and error.
We also give you years of
observations as to why horses respond as they do, so we can have 'starting
horses' be a welcome experience for the horse.
You can bring your horse to
us, or we could come to you --if you are not too far away.
I recommend that you KNOW what
IS HAPPENING with your own horse, because many times, the experiences they
have with being started, could have unexpected outcomes, not necessarily in
bad behavior, but mostly in their attitude towards humans, and the actual
riding experience.
We want all of our horses to
be happy, and caring --about you and your safety as well.
This can only be done if your
horse likes you, and there is 'mutual respect'.

There is much to learn to keep
you safe, and to have the nicest horse you could ever wish to be around.
