i know of people who just hop on, and wonder why the horse reacts so badly.
also, thank you for waiting until she was three.
i know a girl who has a warmblood who is only twenty months old, and she's already been on him. granted, he's huge. but he's still a baby. it's a shame to see a horse ruined that way.
cute comments during the vid. i was wondering, is the person on the ground actually controlling the horse and is the rider just along for the ride? does it make it easier for the horse or more safe?
I bet she will be a grea ride once she's full broken in. She such a sweety. It didn't bother her at all. You would never have guess it was her first time!
What a delightful training session! If more horses were trained this way, we'd have a lot less "train wrecks" for people like me to rehab later in life! What a beautiful horse and a pleasure to watch!
I guess not all andalusians are hot lil suckers! Shes gonna make one hell of a dressage horse! Its so nice to see someone doing things the RIGHT way and seeing just how successful it can be. You can tell its her hair thats buggin her cuz her ears flop to the side lol its very cute she such a sweetheart.
what a brilliant, beautiful mare! Extremely calm, not even phased by the fact there was a human being on her back. She seems wonderful. I bet she's awesome to work with!
I do jump and have jumped. I do not do it often, nor is that something I train in or train horses for. So, yes I do jump, and would loved to do a bit more fo experience, but dressage is more my 'thing'.
Its been such a long time since ive seen any new footage from you. Its great to see some again ive missed it. Shes a stunning mare and took everything in so well will you continue helping to train her up and riding her to.
Thank you. Yes, I will continue working with her until her owner tells me otherwise. I think things are well and the owner is pleased so I hope to continue with her for quite some time.
Well cross fingers you will be able to do so for a while to come. Im sure shell prove to be a big star under saddle as she has already shown here. And perhaps we will get to see some more footage of her long journey as well.
She's a nice looking filly. First time up was always in a stall when I broke out the babies. Too much room in an arena for them to get silly. Kudos to you for not riding a two yr old.
Great job! She's so relaxed.
