When Do You Start Training? In my previous articles you have read about the importance of getting the horse's attention, earning his respect, developing your ability to 'read' his body language, and so on. We talked about using the round pen and a lot of other ideas, some quite philosophical, to help you better understand your horse. But we haven't really addressed the idea of 'when should the training start?' We need to talk about that and understand that there are actually two ways to define the question itself: 1) What age should you begin training a horse? and 2) When you get a new, adult horse, when do you start working with him? Here, as in all other areas of my horse work, I'd like to try to get you to be as aware and considerate of the horse's perspective and needs as you are of what you need to get the horse to do for you.

Sage’s Story As I stood sobbing in her stall, Sage lay on the ground once again, unable to get up. I had asked her to keep trying for too long and I was just then deciding I couldn’t ask for any more. My rule had always been that if my animals could live a fairly normal and pain-free life, I would support them. If not, it was my responsibility to put them out of their misery. It was April 3, 2001. I was trying to prepare for her last trip to the equine center the next day. After just four short months of knowing her, it was time to let Sage go and it was breaking my heart. |
