It is to icy to safely ride right now
in northern Alberta. (I might have to dig out the Easyboots with the
studs)
It always amazes me how fast arabs
can learn things. I spent about half an hour while the trough filled playing
with my 6 year old gelding.
I taught him to pick up his feet with
a hand signal last month and decided today he should learn how to
bow.
Keeps his mind busy! In a few short
minutes I had him picking up his leg and putting his nose down to the
ground for the start of a bow. It is to icy to take him right to the
ground yet. That will wait for softer snow and better footing.
My older mare was standing next to
us. I taught her years ago. I would have her bow to thank the vet at
checkin.
She injured her hip over a year ago
and I have not asked her to bow in all that time. She cannot do a complete bow
but made a huge effort when I was teaching Sid the hand signals. They never
forget .
mmmm if the weather stays crappy I
should have a trick horse come spring instead of an endurance
horse.
anyone know how to teach them to sit
down?
Anyone know any books that show how
to teach different tricks?
