Training Indeed

The June 15′th tape was taken about 2 months after I started with him. In this
tape he’s much more forward than he was a month before, but his balance still
isn’t good enough for me to ride with hands as quiet as they should be. That’s
just something I’ll live with for a little longer. His transitions are
getting quite acceptable, and I show you some exercises I call tha lateral
engaging step and the schooling turn. These are all greatly improved from the
tape of just a month before. I broke this into two sections -A- and -B-.
Here are the links:

Here he is about a month after I started with him. He’s still pretty skinny
and very unfit. I’m working on softness and bend with no emphasis on energy at
all. I think this and the June tape shows the value of working slowly and on
balance before you worry about energy and impulsion.

I have a new horse named Indeed. He’s an 8 year old, 18hh SWB by Idocus. He’s coming back from a hock injury that kept him stall bound for almost a year. So, this isn’t a brand new baby, but he’s pretty close.

I’m trying to make monthly tapes of his progress so you can watch me bring him along using my methods in almost real time. Fair warning, these are big files and require cable or high speed DSL to view.

Here’s a short tape of me longing him on his natural circle just a couple of weeks after we started:
