Segunda parte intro cincha 2020

Hola

Esta semana veremos la segunda parte de como continuamos el proceso de desarrollar confianza en los potros al empezar a experimentar con la cincha. Este proceso lo haremos con los siete potros de un año de manera que, cuando iniciemos con la montura, los potros ya conozcan la cincha y no todo será algo nuevo para ellos.

Hemos trabajado en fortalecer la confianza con el "pad" y en sus elementos haciendo muchas aproximaciones con la cincha en contacto y con poca presión.

En el primer video les presentamos el turno de Herencia, vamos a volver a ver todo el proceso, colocamos el pad, la cinchamos suavemente y lo que agregamos en este proceso es invitarla a que camine con el pad puesto, único elemento que agregamos al proceso de la semana pasada.

Como ustedes podrán ver Herencia no le teme al pad y lo acepta sin ningún problema, luego Alex la invita a caminar y no tiene ninguna reacción negativa a la sensación de la cincha en su vientre. Así que eso nos indica que vamos muy bien!

Ahora veremos a Hawaiana cambiando de locación; ahora en el potrero; aquí les tengo que pedir disculpas por la calidad del video, pero fue muy difícil grabar con los potros sueltos a nuestro alrededor, es uno de esos problemas que amo! pues significa que los potros confían en nosotros y buscan nuestra compañía.

El propósito del video es mostrarles la parte final de este proceso, le colocamos el pad a Hawaiana en el potrero y la dejamos un rato con el pad siempre bajo supervisión por varias razones:

Es la primera vez que lo usa por un periodo más largo
Ella puede destruir el cuero de la cincha si lo empieza a mordisquear o sus compañeros de potrero!
Recuerden que la cincha no esta muy apretada así que corremos el riesgo de que se suelte demasiado y asuste al potro.
Evitar un accidente.

Luego la invitamos a moverse para ver la reacción, aquí podemos pedirle trote y galope para que pueda experimentar la presión que ejerce la cincha en los diferentes aires y se habitúe a ella.

Así lo vamos a hacer con todos los potros, haremos estos ejercicios una o dos veces a la semana para darle seguimiento.

Todo lo podemos hacer con calma, sin violencia y desarrollando un lenguaje con nuestros caballos, y recuerden lo que dice Pat: "Tómate el tiempo que tome para que luego nos tome menos tiempo"

Gracias por seguir el blog y nos vemos pronto con una nueva aventura de aprendizaje con los potros!

Ale

Being Present

Would you like to know what is most important to your horse? Safety is all horses priority and we humans can help them feel safe or not feel safe when they are with us. The problem is that we are not 100% present when we are doing a task with our horse and he knows it: our brain is distracted, going from one thought to another or we have emotional loads like anger or frustration. Horses are constantly reading us and are highly sensitive in perceiving energy. It is known that emotions have different frequencies: anger, fear and frustration have low frequency, gratitude, love and happiness have high frequency. Horses feel these frequencies and if our energy does not contribute to their security they will not be comfortable around us. In order to solve the issue of communication and relaxation we must begin by improving our observation and to control our emotional state. In order to manage this we must be present, which in today’s world is a challenge for humans becaus...

Train Your Seat Trainers Forum

This summer, I had the most incredible opportunity to travel to the Netherlands for the Train Your Seat Trainers Forum. I have to say, it was nothing short of magical. But this trip was even more special because I got to share it with my wonderful friend and colleague, Trish Tweddell. We had a fantastic time together, and I can't wait to tell you all about it. Before we dove into the forum, Trish and I decided to spend a day in Amsterdam. And wow, what a day it was! We visited the Bodyworks exhibition, and I admit, I didn't expect it to leave such an impression on me. Walking through the displays, I found myself fascinated by the intricacies of the human body, and it got me thinking about how all of this connects to what we do as riders. There's something about seeing the body in such a detailed way that makes you appreciate how everything is connected—how our internal organs, muscles, and bones all work together in harmony. It felt like the perfect prelude to the forum, wh...

A weekend at the World Equestrian Center in Ocala, Florida.

This week I had the great fortune of visiting Ocala and to be present at one of the first events held at WEC During my last visits I have witnessed the construction process from it’s beginning, when the first movements of land were carried out, and year before last around this time the stables were under way; but there is nothing comparable to being in the finished installations with warm up arenas, competition arenas, covered arenas, stadium, stalls, corrals, showrooms, stores, hotel and even a chapel! Made with a wonderful vision with every amenity necessary in order to host great equestrian events; the sensation is similar to being at Disney for horse lovers! This equestrian complex is the largest one in the United States and it is very impressive! Ocala is a 4 hour drive from Miami, it is one of the cities in the United States with the highest number of horses. In fact Marion County in Ocala in 2007 was officially named “ the horse capital of the world”;...
