Just realised some people will have no idea what my horses do. Through exercises and interaction with the horses, people can learn about confidence, body language, positive social demenour, independence, asertiveness, cooperation and lots more. It is ideal for management training, adolecents with behavioural problems, autism, depression and lots of other people too. In fact anyone wanting to build self esteem and social skills would benifit. Currently only spook and bee are trained to perform the exercises but the other four are also in training. it takes quite a long time to train the horses to be safe to use and not all personalities are suited to the job. Our Baby will unfortunately never be suitable although he is great for normal riding lessons. The horses that can do it have to be very gentle and willing with no sign of impatience or it can be off putting to the learner.
so to have another one showing potential is great.
the weathers improved now, the sun is shining finally so i think a spot of showjump building could be just the thing for this afternoon.
