Miniature Horse Books & DVD's
Natural Training Method
Program - 3 discs
Each
session deals with a different approach on a different day.
The
purpose of all the workshops used together as a whole program is to
produce a horse that is willing, agreeable, not easily frightened,
obedient, and sociable to be around and work with.
Disc 1-
In the first session, trainers take a hard to catch, spooky horse and work
with him using a whip, and plastic bag, until the horse learns not to run
away from the sound and movement. This is called desensitizing
and you will be amazed at the results in just 30 minutes. Then the
trainers sensitize the horse using bending and calming exercises
to teach him to become supple and willing. Additionally, they work with
handling the horse's feet.
Disc 2-
In the second session, after reviewing the lessons learned the first day,
the trainers lunge the horse and teach him to obey verbal commands and
gestures; additionally, they teach the horse to respect their space. Once
the horse is easily changing direction based on verbal commands and
gestures, they again do the suppling exercises and end the session on a
calm note. One of the horses also starts learning how to do a front foot
pivot.
Disc 3-
In the third and final work session, the horse is briefly taken through a
refresher of days one and two, then turned loose in the round pen. At that
time, the trainers work on getting the horse to change direction on
command, stop on command, and most importantly to face the trainer and
give his full attention. During this session, the object is to teach the
horse to allow himself to be caught, haltered, and to further develop his
respect for the handlers.
The
sessions are organized to work consecutively; in other words, an owner
can't just view Session three and expect positive results.
