Angel’s evaluation & training plans.

Posted by Ali on September 13, 2011

VIDEO! Angel’s NH (natural horsemanship) training is going well. She’s very willing, seems confident – i.e. knows what I’m asking and knows the difference between sensitizing/desensitizing pressures. We will continue with the natural horsemanship training a while, until I feel she can [...]

What do you want to do with your horse?

Posted by Ali on September 9, 2011

Most of this week I have been reading the forum and watching the webinars about straightness training. An important point that has been brought up and repeated in this information is why you do something, why you use something and what your goals are. All of this leads [...]
