Companion Horse Training Using Positive Reinforcement: Short Routines for Mind and Muscle (Life Skills for Horses) - Tapa blanda

Sinopsis

Many people enjoy the company of their horse, pony, donkey or mule without ever riding. Many people enjoy doing groundwork as well as riding. This book is for all of you.The routines in this book are unique because they require no 'gear' other than a fence line or a set of six rags to act as focal points. It contains links to prerequisite skills in case these need to be taught or improved to get the most out of a routine.While there are twelve routines in the book, you may find many months-worth of training to hone the individual skills that make up the routines. Each routine is designed to sharpen handler and horse skills by chaining a series of mobility exercises into a fluid routine.The primary focus is to maintain and build the horse's confidence. Maintaining confidence and willingness to try again is always more important than achieving a routine. The routine itself is an end-point to give a purpose for teaching all the elements required.If we are consistent and keep the fun in our work, we end up with a horse that is light as a feather in response to the clear signals we have developed.
