Join Martin as he introduces you to his philosophy of starting colts while he takes several colts and one young stallion through their first day of riding.
What Martin looks for isn't just a style or particular method, but what works for the horse. 'If it works there must be a reason why, if it doesn't work there must be a reason why.' If we can understand what prepared or caused the horse to react or respond in the manner they do, whether it is desirable or not, then we may learn to identify and influence the action of the horse in what we think is a positive and productive way.
Topics covered:
Martin's five basic principles of horsemanship
A horse's need for self-preservation
Finding and using the centre of gravity
Seeking relief vs yielding from pressure
Creating a crisis to gain confidence
Working with an aggressive stallion
Halter preparation, catching, saddling preparation, flag work, saddling, bridling, preparing to mount, first ride, transitions and much more.
This DVD is approximately 1 hour 45 minutes.
