As we begin training we often teach behaviors with our horses at liberty. This gives them a choice and provides us with a lot of information. But how do we move from liberty work to utilizing equipment while still giving our horses a voice? In this lesson, I will discuss the different ways to transition to traditional equipment and cues.

Techniques for helping the spooky horse to focus under saddle. The key is that it is the horse’s choice to redirect his attention back to working with his rider. Often times we utilize equipment that controls a physical response, but the horses can remain in the same internal, emotionally charged state. When the horse chooses to focus, it really is the horse choosing to regulate his emotional response to the situation. It is a game-changer!

Many people struggle with good ways to motivate their horse to go forward…to WANT to go forward when asked. In this lesson, we discuss ways to help your horse go forward. By utilizing positive reinforcement we put something in it that the horse wants and values and this is a game-changer. We will discuss how to use targets and liberty leading to get your horse to respond to traditional cues. The process will change your horse’s association with this behavior. We will also discuss how to fade these tools so that your horse will happily respond to your cues.
