Communicating with An Aggressive Horse... Simplified.

Communicating with An Aggressive Horse... Simplified.

Before you ask anything of the horse, know exactly what you are looking for so that the very moment the horse complies you can release and reward him. This is the order to all communication:

•             Ask

•             Anticipate

•             Get compliance from the horse

•             Release

•             Reward

The release is the reward, but if you want to speed up the learning process, do some stroking accompanied with soothing words. Lavish praise will speed up the learning process by 60%!

Creekside Equicenter Summer Fun for Hunters and Jumpers

We have a lot of fun riding and jumping at Creekside Equicenter just outside Walkerton, Indiana each year. Our barn is full of excitement. The kids are all happy. Horses are anxious for attention. You can always find someone having fun in the indoor arena or, when weather permits, the spacious outdoor arena. Occasionally we take a small group to the local state park to ride too.

The photo above is our participation in an LMHJA event at Cedar Lodge in Michigan. Great weather and lots of fall fun.

Summer Equestrian Fun Coming to an End Soon

Well, summer equestrian fun is coming to an end soon. It was a fabulous summer of jumping horses though. My daughter has moved to higher levels as well as several of the other girls of our barn. I especially like this photo taken at the Twin Cities Classic in Berrien Springs, Michigan this summer. This is my daughter and one of our boarder's horses tackling a cool angled jump in a jumper class. I believe that is about 3 foot if memory serves. Not extremely high but there were about 10 of them and she was timed. Winston never hesitated and the two of them looked wonderful.
