"Follow the leader" through obstacles
Randomly working on obstacles
The horse is supposed to knock down the barrels. It helps to simulate walking through crowds of people & being bumped by obstacles, people, other horses.
Formation riding through obstacles
Formation riding in the open field behind the arena. Working on making turns with a line of 7 horses, shoulder to shoulder.
Our make shift bridge
Learning to back up - 2 horses at a time, side by side, between 2 objects (these at some point could be cars)
And to end the day, a taser was turned on to introduce the horses to the sound & smell it makes. Most of them were not concerned with it at all.
