Dino, the Bow and a Surprise!

Dino learns to bow after a few sessions with halter, rope, cue stick and of course lots of treats. Dino surprises us all by deciding to lay down when asked to bow from the off side. Fortunately Charlie had camera in hand for this fun horse bowing/laying moment!

Canter Out Of Control

If you have a horse that motors into a gallop everytime you ask for a canter while riding or on the lunge line then you might want to start from square one back in the round pen. Most of our problems with horses can be attributed to “Us asking but the horse isn’t listening” or “Us asking and the horse not understanding”. Both of these scenarios can be solved with the proper building blocks of basic training practices and good riding.
