What a gentle and just calm environment on training. It’s truly amazing to watch the responsiveness and eagerness to please. I was wondering, do you also train mounting from both sides?
@HollyLenahanSJ Жыл бұрын
Thank you. I do desensitising and groundwork from both sides but not mounting because honestly I’m so awkward mounting from the right, it’s like writing with my non dominant hand haha and I can’t think of a single time where I’ve had to mount from the right so it’s not a priority for me ☺️

No hate! Absolutely love your channel, Im just wondering why you kick him every single time you rise? From the videos it looks like you are giving no release from your leg pressure. I understand its just a few videos and its hard to tell, but just thought id ask! Once again no hate just curious.
@HollyLenahanSJ Жыл бұрын
Hey, if you watch the whole video I explain that he’s not very forward and that’s why I start to hold a whip and there’s a big improvement after that. At the very start, he would have literally halted if I didn’t keep encouraging him to go forward.

Are you sure that the saddle fits him? Otherwise really nice work, i believe he will be a very nice horse in the future 😄 How much taller do you think he‘ll get since he is very small right now?
@HollyLenahanSJ Жыл бұрын
It doesn’t fit him perfectly but it would be very unusual for someone to buy a custom fitted saddle for a horse to be broken in. It fits adequately for the level of work (light trot and canter) he’s doing. He won’t be huge but he has some growing left in him. Maybe he’ll be 16 hands when he’s fully mature ☺️
