I'll definitely give it a look Red- do you have any you'd reccommend? I really want to get him started with as nice an experience as possible so everything helps!

Min if you are open to it you should look up some demos for how clicker trainers teach good manners. He could definitely figure out expectations around food. It’s like if you’re bad at math you need to practice math problems. If he’s bad with food around you need to practice with him and food

How are you guys capturing W's in the wild?

Thankfully Ted figured out FAST that I was a provider of food. It's unfortunate that we've had to annex treats because that would get him doing pretty much anything, but unfortunately he bites like a bastard when theres even the hint of them being around. He'll be a cracking horse when he's all grown up though- even as a gangly baby he's eyecatching

Oh thats so good! My guy isnt quite "lob a blanket on" level yet but its so rewarding watching how confident they can become
Minerva
01:45:19 Min
Absolutely haha. I'm really proud of him though- he arrived at the end of May vaguely leadable but pretty much feral and had to live in the field shelter for a week. Now he's out in the field with no headcollar 24/7 and I can lob a rug onto him while he's loose without him lifting his head

Yeah Boulder so relatable. I try to let my horse initiate touch and the things we do whenever possible. Like take the extra five minutes to let her walk up to me in the field instead of going out and getting her, pause when she turns her head away when brushing, etc. It changes the game truly and has honestly completely changed how I go about life in general, for the better. Horses have so little autonomy in our world so the little things like that we can do means so much to them. When I’m bridling a horse or anything like that I notice that they will maybe seem like they’re saying no initially by turning away or something. If you notice and respect that a lot of the time they will immediately put their nose in after, where if you had tried to chase after them it probably would escalate. That whole philosophy just means a lot to me

Speaking of training
- I saw incredible training with Dan of Double Dan
What he can do with horses is amazing
I was enthralled with the Road To The Horse exhibition

Typical gangly teenage boy XD

Haha I'll put a bit less pressure on myself then thank you. I'm hoping to get some poles before the end of the year so we can do some proprioception work because my goodness that boy doesn't know where his feet are xD Plus side is he doesn't mind things being around his legs whatsoever since he's so used to wandering into things

No lines, and no chasing. You just don't know our way and I'll leave it at that.

I wasn't a super fan of Warwick until I saw an article heading that said something like Let Your Horse Approach You
(Yes literally only read the title)
And it's made a Huge improvement in my interactions with the horses at the barn.
I can have the stall door open and have them between me at it (huge outdoor pen) and they will chose to come to me and boop my hand without any interaction besides standing still.

And I saw a video where he said don't touch the horse until they touch you and they will tell you where to touch

(Some of it feels woowoo, but it's making a difference in the relationships between the horses and I)

Yeah of course, it’s definitely a trust the process kind of exercise you have to be patient and you’ll feel like you’re not doing anything but worth it. I enjoy when training feels more collaborative with our animal friends, worth the time it takes

And seconding Warwick Schiller, he's one of the few clinicians I really respect.

Awww good pony! It just sounds like typical laziness/not being confident enough to carry himself forward. He'll get there!
Minerva
01:35:18 Min
Ooh I'll have a look at that one, thanks Red!
Minerva
01:34:16 Min
Haha exactly Puck! I'm hoping the more we go out the more keen he'll be to get on with it. He's a very good chap overall- and he's even happy to walk out in front of Minnie if I've got someone to lead her. He met his first tractor last night and was a 10/10 brave boy bless him

Unless your lunge lunge is 200 feet long it's gonna be a small circle lol

"There's a legend that goes around this village, along with Fireloom and Flightnight. They say every 2 years, on November 14th People and horses made from whisps of twilight appear out of the forests bordering all 3 of our villages. While they wear cloaks of both midnight and silver, certain people can feel a pull... a connection to some of these shadowed riders. Some claim it to be realtives or friends of theirs that have died in tragic accidents with their steeds, while most claim it to be vengeful spirits who cannot find a reason to pass yet. Either way, we know when they appear every 2 years, when the moon is full on November 14th children and foals alike will go missing. Without a trace they dissapear like the moon behind the mountains bridging our land like they never existed. Shadow Riders take them to their land, a place of light. Where they aren't cloaked with the night's blanket anymore and can return to their former selves once again. In this haven, it's beautifully bright with crystal waterfalls, green fields, plentiful orchards, and never-ending hunting prey. Where those who have perished with their steeds go when they die. The children and foals they take with them are usually young, raised as their own along with each other in a pair of human and horse. When they grow up, they too will accompany them. Though they don't only come out on November 14th to kidnap a child from each village. They leave gifts for those they left behind in any form whether a pendant, pet, or on rare cases a foal. The more... deadly reason for arriving is to spread justice to those they deem unworthy of living, slipping them into death silently. No one is sure why or how these riders exist, but either live in fear or calmness of their presence. While almost everyone believes this as a fable, they actually exist as peacekeepers of this land. Never look down on them or prepare to face your karma."
