My final stage of groundwork for the youngsters before their first ride is having them carry the flag. The flag symbolizes something moving in the saddle and also getting them used to something touching their rump.
This method helps me find the horses trigger spots, meaning, where they’re most sensitive. with her it was something above her now, I know I did my homework right because she could care less and that’s PERFECT.
Now she’s completed the saddle desensitization and onto the ground driving portion before her first ride 🙂
I specialize in problem horses, youngsters, horse rehabilitation and achieving softness and a better relationship between horse and their rider. I not only train horses but humans as well. Not your typical riding lesson but I can, if you so choose, teach you to train your horse!
I’m always available to help answer questions or share photos or videos upon request to better illustrate my advice.
I’ve mastered the “don’t break the bank” way of keeping your horse healthy and cared for while on a budget.
If you walk into almost any large barn in Oregon you’re bound to meet a horse I trained or sold! I’ve trained over 623 horses and counting! I post updates as I receive them from clients and buyers.
Thank you for taking the time to browse and hopefully learn something new!
