Hello all! I'm working with a 5 YO paint pony mare. She is a PMU rescue and was abused and has had limited training and riding experience. I put a plain...
I would say that the transition should be very easy. Some horses experience difficulty with the nose band but usually that has more to do with the condition...
Thank you got your reply! Just for clarification, what do you mean by "enclosed?" Do you mean a small indoor arena? A round pen? I only have access to a...
That's exactly what I mean, round pen, indoor arena, just somewhere where you have his attention and can put him into training mode and he can't get away from...
