RE: What a beautiful weekend for horses! Learning Machines
This message is from: Werner, Kristine [EMAIL PROTECTED] Foals should be given time to grow up in their herd, learn what it means to be a horse and find their own individual place within it. I thought this was common knowledge, until I subscribed to this list. I just wonder how these babies with no childhood look and act when they are older - and wonder if they reach peak ages (39+) founder-free, of course, like they do here. Maybe you can learn something. It`s abrupt, because it`s the truth. Too bad you don`t apply some of your oversensitivity to your training program.

Youngsters are learning machines, the more you can teach them when they are young the better off they will be. Lori
Re: What a beautiful weekend for horses!
This message is from: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Kristine, I find your manner abrupt , if you take exception to something I have commented on maybe you should be thoughtful enough to ask me more detail before criticizing me publicly. You have contacted me privately for advise on training and I have always been polite to you. I was merely trying to show some of our early methods to bring youngstock along to START to learn to drive, thought people might like to hear another perspective. We never pull anything to heavy, we only work for short periods of time, the youngsters feel like they are playing and getting a treat for it. We always have extra help on the ground. We take breaks every few minutes for reassurance and pets. This has worked very well for us. Give a person you don't know the benefit of the doubt, You may learn something. When I first decided to post on the list I did so with some kind prodding of Mike May. I had been enjoying the humour , thoughtful ideas, patient teachings and stories of other Fjord lovers. I am ,as many of you may be a member of the Combined Driving List as well, and people on that list treat each other with respect it never makes me uneasy, I would like to request we all behave in that fashion. Make this fun and progressive, not Judgemental and stale. Sincerely L of the H

Went off really well. We spend alot of time wearing harness in the stall while we are doing chores to get them use to feel, movement and sounds in blinders (ofcourse you must be ever vigilant) Cynthia I thought your idea for the Herald would be fun!
