I'll be doing some clicker training with him tomorrow, working on his mouthiness. He is very eager and wants to be in one's lap ;-) Brigid M Wasson San Francisco Bay Area, CA A HREF=http://ourfjords.freeservers.com/fjord1/Our_Fjordsx.html;Our /A A HREF=http://ourfjords.freeservers.com/fjord1/Our_Fjordsx.html;Fjords/A A HREF=http://www.ourfjords.freeservers.com/fw/Fjordings_Wesx.html; Fjordings West/A / )__~ /L /L

Com fjordhorse@angus.mystery.com Sent: Wednesday, September 11, 2002 4:09 PM Subject: Good little Quinn This message is from: Dagrun Aarsten [EMAIL PROTECTED] Hello listers, Just have to share my excitement! Quinn started to understand canter cues yesterday (leg) for the first time! And differentiating between left and right! He was so proud of himself! He is also yeilding to my leg, both sides, bending nicely, shortening and extending and carrying himself really. And he jumps like a dream! Nothing high yet, but getting the techniques down and NEVER stops, ever. I'm so excited! This is the first time I'm a) Training my OWN horse b) Training a horse without bad habits and issues to be untrained c) Training a horse with naturally good movement and conformation - he goes on the bit and uses his back correctly all by himself. As long as I sit balanced. And have nice steady light bit contact. Who knows, maybe I am biased. But he really is exceptional! My TB mare is doing good, too. Much better when riding now. She is out in pasture 24/7 and is building muscle and loosening up her movements. The other day I was free lungeing her and she did her nice slow canter, then suddenly slipped (in a pile of poop) and fell. Nothing scary, she didn't even worry herself, just got back up and kept going. But from that fall, she managed to get maybe 10 new scratches. Falling in the soft arena literally took several patches of skin off! How can a horse be that thin-skinned?? No wonder she looks beat up from pasture... Stick to fjords, people :-) Dagrun in San Jose, looking forward to Turlock!
Re: Good little Quinn
This message is from: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Congratulations Dagrun! To the rest of the list, I have witnessed this horse's transformation. After purchasing him, Dagrun quickly realized that he was broke but had never actually been trained! With positive reinforcement he is now responding beautifully to many cues, even jumping, in less than half a year! Oh-oh, now there is some serious competition at Skandifest ;-) Brigid M Wasson San Francisco Bay Area, CA A HREF=http://ourfjords.freeservers.com/fjord1/Our_Fjordsx.html;Our /A A HREF=http://ourfjords.freeservers.com/fjord1/Our_Fjordsx.html;Fjords/A A HREF=http://www.ourfjords.freeservers.com/fw/Fjordings_Wesx.html; Fjordings West/A / )__~ /L /L
