Establishing Control, Lightness and
Willingness to Perform
in the First 90 Days of Training
This DVD picks up where Colt Starting Magic
leaves off. In this video, I cover the first 60 to 90 days of training,
starting with the colt's third ride. The “foundation training” is what
all future training is built on.
If the foundation isn’t right, the rest of the training won’t go right
either. This “foundation training” is also important for re-training
older horses that have never been taught to perform correctly.
As the title implies, this video will show you how to put that important
foundation on your horse. You will learn the step by step methods for
teaching an un-broke colt to turn correctly using his hocks.
You will also see how to teach your horse to pick up the correct lead
whenever you ask for it and lope precise circles on a loose
rein.
This video not only shows the correct training techniques, it
also shows how to deal with all the possible problems.
The format I use in this video does a good job of showing exactly how
the training should go.
First,
I start the video by explaining how a
well-trained horse should perform. I then ride an experienced horse to
show the viewer what it’s supposed to look like.
Next, I show how the training is actually done by using a variety of
colts in progressive stages of training.
I start the training
demonstrations with a green-broke two-year-old that’s only been ridden a
couple times. Then, I ride a colt that’s farther along, approximately
30-days of training.
And finally, I finish up on a colt that’s been ridden for several months
and is more experienced.
By watching this sequence, the viewer gets a clear understanding
of how to take a colt that knows absolutely nothing and progress him to
the stage where he is doing things well.
