The result as the photograph shows was totally successful. He remained calm throughout the process and had to be asked to trot on and did not buck once.
Well done Rubin!!!

Natural Horsemanship / Rubins Progress
The previous ground work has really paid off. Today we introduced Rubin to a saddle.
The result as the photograph shows was totally successful. He remained calm throughout the process and had to be asked to trot on and did not buck once.
Well done Rubin!!!

Natural Horsemanship Training
Rubin joined Fir Tree Stud before christmas, he is a three year old Section D, who has been mishandled before his owner Michelle bought him last summer.
He was very timid and paniced in a variety of situations. We set about building his confidence and his desire to be around humans.
This achieved, we started to move him around the arena and from that, we have started to do some desensitisation work with him.
We thought he might be very frightened by the plastic bags on the end of the stick, but as often happens, the situations that he hadnt experienced previously, prove less daunting than trying to re-learn the basics.
Below is a picture of Rubin learning to trust.
