@jjclimb69 Actually no the object is large enough that it is always in view in one way or another. So sorry, your random babbling really isn't cutting it for me. The point of the exercise is to get the horse used to the object, OBVIOUSLY the horse will fear it at first, but with CONTINUOUS exposure to said object will gradually show the horse its not a big deal. Furthermore can you honestly tell me that you don't think she's exposed the horse to the tarp prior to this video? Common sense, use it

@jjclimb69 dont you think she has probably done more work with the horse than just getting on him/her with a large piece of plastic?

She is clearly a compitant rider and the horse does not show sings of tension as he/she is moving at a comfortable pace with ears relaxed and litening to his/her enviroment. If he/she was scared he/she would have bolted alot sooner. So what, horses have there moments and you dont know what parctice she has done prvious to this exersize

Damn my horse would never be able to do that! He would freak out and throw me off the second he would see the plastic! Nice work!

Loved the other video, and amazed at your stick-to-it-ness. :) My horse, three year old, seems absolutely fine with anything I deliberately introduce, but a random piece rag on the rail or lord forbid a horse glimpses in the outdoor arena and its all over. I created a barrel bear out of a skin I had and it may has well have been a log in the arena...he was fine. Put a jingle bell on his saddle and hang on. Random lol

now that I see this video I'm really curious as to why the horse spooked on the other one. He seems fine here. Did anyone try and wave plastic bags over his neck and head before? I found that sometimes they are fine with stuff hovering everywhere xcept above their heads. I usually tie the stuff to a long stick so I can be out of harm's reach when testing in-hand.

It's funny, If I'd seen this video before I wouldn't have been so relaxed when I started wearing my huge plastic poncho on windy days

You did an awesome job staying on! I got thrown off into a wall 5ft just the other day, while trying to jump so i know the shock and adrenaline! You did awesome! may I am what the white sheet it for? lol sorry I am not sure!

OMG I think what she was trying to do or the group as their was another person with a colored plastic she went past was teaching desentising and shame on any of your for critising her she is at least taking the time to do this and shame on your from judging her riding ability how many of you judgemental people could have stayed on that horse. Good for you for taking the time to desentise your horse. Shame on you judgemental people that probably dont ride as good as this lady.

And it was going so well! I done this with my young TB, but put a small plastic bag on the stirrup iron and lunged him with it on. A bombproof horse is invaluable

[sheerindulgence]

What did you expect? It's a horse not a robot. Why the hell would you want a plastic bag forced on your back? urgh

[MissVictoriaBrookes]

You seem very reliant on your hands and you're leaning forward quite a lot. Try to have softer hands as well to prevent the horse from kinda nodding in and out of an outline. By the way what is the plastic? And purty pony! <3

Why the plastic??
