Have your horse eating out of your hand
At HeronCrest we take pride in every horse we start or take under our wing to improve.
We like challenges and have undertaken this year, an 8 year old stallion to start for the first time and a 17 year old Lippizzaner broodmare also for the first saddling and riding of her life, along with other regular horses.
I won''t lie and say it was easy and due to their age they aren't sure about working every day but they are coming along.
We do a fair amount of ground work and manners before ever getting on their backs. This makes understang leg pressure and rein aids much simpler when we add the rider.
Very few trainers instruct a horse on how the bit works and the correct responses to the bits actions. We do this in hand so there is acceptance from the first ride.
We suit any disipline.
Our work under saddle and in hand is old school and classical. The first natural horsemen were dressage masters. True "Dressage " is at the root of all correct training, it is not just for competiton and sport. So even a western games pony can benefit greatly from a good correct start or even a reschool.
