RE: [RC] Preparing a horse for ridecamp - Nancy Sturm

Someone on Ridecamp suggested spending some time at a busy horse show, just
walking around the grounds and tying where the trailers are parked - seemed
like a good idea.

One of mine, I tied on the Hi-tie in the parking area of a busy boarding
facility.  He camps like a dream and never turned a hair from the first
time he was tied.

The other (more reactive) I tied for several sessions  in my own driveway. 
This was either not as effective or his personality is enough different
that he would have been a little fussier anyway.  We hauled several hours
with a horse he'd never seen before, however, and by the time we got to
camp he had a new best friend, so he did a lot better than I would have
expected - really wasn't a problem.

Have fun!  Go ride.

==========================================

I am very new to endurance riding and have volunteered at a couple of

rides this past year, but am wondering how in the world people train their
horses to behave so nicely at ridecamp?  


I have a horse that is a year or two away from our first official ride

and she is a little on the "hot" side.  How should I go about training her
to handle the hustle and bustle around camp?
