theo, the bravest of boys

after a nice ride around the farm, where theo lead us around so graciously, we did some standing tied.

with some nice weather coming up, i may take them to a neighboring farm to do some flatting with zeus and exposure therapy for theo.

i have great plans for theo once he is big enough and is saddle broke. i am completely in love and so excited to break in my first baby next spring!🌷☀️

... Read moreHorse training is a rewarding journey that involves patience, love, and understanding. Theo's training may include groundwork and desensitization techniques, which are crucial for building trust and confidence in young horses. Exposure therapy helps horses like Theo acclimatize to new environments and stimuli, which is essential for their development as reliable and well-adjusted companions on the farm. Before taking Theo to the neighboring farm, it’s important to prepare him for the new experiences he will encounter. This could involve desensitizing him to different sounds, sights, and smells that he might encounter during flatting. Regular groundwork and handling will ensure that Theo remains calm and trusting as he encounters these new challenges. As Theo grows and continues his training, he will need to build strength and agility. Establishing a solid foundation will help him thrive once he is saddle broke. This involves consistent work on basic commands, leading, and lunging exercises to improve his balance and coordination. Spring is an exciting time for horse enthusiasts as it marks the beginning of riding season. With a young horse like Theo, it's the perfect opportunity to enjoy the outdoors and bond while learning together. Documenting Theo’s progress as he grows can also inspire other horse lovers and provide valuable insights into training methods and philosophies. Every step of this journey promises to bring joy and challenges, making the experience truly worthwhile.
