Coming Soon to the Training Forum! - Page 2

NoniMe · 07-14-2007, 05:55 PM

Can we start at the ground? Meaning, what are ground manners, what should your horse be able to do (i.e. standing still while mounting) and what behaviors are not acceptable (i.e. like what is too close, in your space, et cetera really mean??).

When will this start? I will be so anxious to read this stuff...I'm far more lost than even Gilligan and the Skipper...

Best-
Noni

I must apologize for the delay in getting this organized. How I wish there were more hours in the day! We have taken all of these great suggestions under advisement and will hopefully get things rolling real soon!

Appylover · 07-14-2007, 06:18 PM

Wow!! Thats cool!! And a topic could be on how your horse acts on trail rides and how to fix it??

beckyp · 07-14-2007, 06:21 PM

I can't wait to see this new forum!! It will be so enlightening,and I am looking forward to learning more.

So this means we can post our training problems and the HT team of professional trainers will answer them?

Not a bad idea.

I couldn't add to a discussion since the only advice I can give is what NOT to do

But I'd certainly be asking advice of those more knowledgeable. Even if that advice is "get your horse to a trainer before you kill yourself."

Looking forward to how this progresses.

Anyone will be invited to comment on the topics. We do have quite a few very knowledgeable members who are trainers though, so I am sure we will see some very helpful responses!

I second the children and horses idea--I need some fun ideas I can do w/ my mare and my 4 yr. old (child)!!

Sassy · 03-16-2008, 03:32 PM

This is a great idea. It will be like an on line Clinic. Cool. Will we be able to disguss and ask questions on each topic?

carlagsd · 03-16-2008, 03:56 PM

Oooh, I think this is a great idea!

Gotta Love Duns · 03-16-2008, 04:59 PM

Is this still a go? I see this thread was brought up from a year ago?
I think it is an amazing idea and would love to see it.

Horses&Soccer · 03-16-2008, 05:59 PM

What an absolutely wonderful idea!! I'm ready for a few Owner Training Courses

Anything you guys want to post I'll be reading religiously. I am quite interested in how to teach neck reining.

divinemisselle · 03-16-2008, 06:05 PM

I am so sorry you guys!! This slipped right under my radar for far too long!

Thanks for bringing it back up.

I will work on getting our first Training topic started tomorrow!

ahlihaff · 03-19-2008, 09:52 AM

I'm not sure this falls into the training category; but if so, some ideas to help riders overcome their own fears/anxieties, to gain back shattered confidence - something along those lines.

I found a book on that and read it. It was more geared for competitors, but perhaps it may apply. Personally I didn't get a lot out of it ~ oh well, but if you are interested PM me and I'll get you the name of it. It sold on eBay for $15.50, I found it on www.addall.com for $5!

horselady · 03-22-2008, 06:12 PM

What a great idea, manners of horses and and how to problem solve.
Looking forward to hearing other folks ideas.

successfulhorse · 01-30-2009, 07:29 AM

I look forward to hearing everyone's input!
