Introducing the cinch pressure and bareback pad for the first time.

Posted byJillianPosted inUncategorized

Dollie has never been saddled so these are the steps I take to prepare her to have her first saddle experience. I set them up to succeed, I want it to be boring for them then I know there’s no holes in the process. If they react instead of think then I know I missed a step and they’re telling me they’re not ready yet.

Yawning and sighing is the best sign of relaxation. That tells me I’m going at their pace and they’re comfortable with the new lesson being learned.

First time with the bareback pad and cinch pressure! Uneventful the way it’s supposed to be
Dollie is a very smart girl I’m enjoying working together with her. She likes learning which makes my job so much easier.

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!
