The start of a young horse has a huge impact for the future. There is only one first time with everything we do. We need to make sure these first times count. In this course I will show you my unique way of starting young horses under the saddle. The process of what I do as a preparation up to the first rides is available to you as a member. What our horses learn with pleasure, they will never forget!
In this course I take you along in the important steps of my training with different young horses. Start by watching the first section of the “starting under the saddle” series in which I’ll teach you every step of my unique process from the very beginning to becoming a riding horse.
Besides the process of starting a horse under the saddle you also find case studies and tips for the first outing with your horse. In the Extras from the Arhives section you’ll find plenty of older videos of interesting young horses, like first training sessions, first rides and tips for starting sensitive horses.
