I have some videos of Cole. They were taken from my teenage friend’s phone while she was grazing her horse. It wasn’t a planned thing, so the quality isn’t too good. One of them is a side pass and there is one of us trotting.
My sister and I have 3 horses that we trail ride--a Morab, a Morgan and a Morgan mix. This blog is all about them. By the way, check out my two books "Trail Training for the Horse and Rider" and "Trail Horse Adventures and Advice. I also have the most adorable, loveable cat named Thunder. I call him a mini Maine Coon. He is the light of my life when things go wrong. He will always listen to me and try to comfort and cheer me up. He does a pretty good job of it, too.
Those are great! He sidepasses so well already. Awesome. How did you teach it?
ReplyDeleteI taught it with clicker, of course. I would ride him in a circle, and then press my inside leg and displace my weight to the outside. It only took a few tries before he guessed what I wanted and got clicked for it. The rest was easy. I think he mastered it in about 5 rides. He seems to like doing it, too.
ReplyDeleteI can't wait to start using clicker while riding. I wish the next year would go by really fast so I can ride Chrome lol. I'm getting so impatient. :)
