RE: [RC] Early training for the trail - Katrina Mosshammer
LOL..We like to use
this method too. But our current horses have decided to keep things interesting.
When we first started taking the 4yo out on the trail we took my newly
acquired 7yo experienced mare with him for that reason. Turns out she's the
one who spooks and he's the one that is solid as a rock. LOL...He's so laid back
and lazy. Mom calls him doofus.

I like to take my green horses out
on the trail with an experienced horse for awhile. The experienced horse
models appropriate trail behavior and provides a sense of security for the
younger horse. This creates a more relaxed atmosphere for those first
trips out of the arena.
