Here we go again. Time to train another youngster: A 3 yo KWPN gelding. He is very sweet and calm so hopefully things will be fairly straightforward as he is ENORMOUS!
As he is so huge, manners will be especially important as he would just flatten me (not to mention the twins!) if he did not respect our personal space!
I always end up veering off training plans, but I am starting out with the intention of following the basic format from The Fearless Horse

Mixed in with some Buck Brannaman as I have this DVD series:

So far I have been focusing on leading, backing up and on personal space. No real problems so far.....
I will keep this diary updated for anyone who may be interested in this work
