If I am going to take on my friends sec d as a loan and over summer more full time I have decided (with her permission) that I am going to go back to basics and create a bond/aim to be respected and have respect with him.
I am going to see him again tomorrow and he can be very bold and pushy on the ground (he hasn't done it with me, yet) so I thought of doing some ground work focusing on manners with him.
I found this article http://www.equusite.com/articles/ground/groundRespect.shtml
That I mostly agree with and think the techniques sound good - what does everyone else think?
Also, and the more important question, how much work in this area can I do with a horse? Is it a case of little and often or could I thrash out three or four of these techniques solidly for a few hours?
Please.excuse my ignorance as I have never worked with a horse in this way before and so I'm a total newb. :redface:
