| Training Techniques Most of the techniques used on Mandalay in these videos are straight from Clinton Anderson's training books. His famous expression "two eyes are better than two feet" is one of the reasons why we work on disengaging his hindquarters. We always want our horse to turn and face us. We like distractions while we train. Our horses need to get used to barking dogs, etc. When we take them out into the real world, there will be lots of things to "spook" them and if we can expose them to it in the round pen first...all the better! The use of side reins is important to teach our horse to collect and get on the bit. UPDATE: Mandalay Bey has graduated and has been sold to a family in Argyle, Texas. He will be starting his career as a hunter jumper and we look forward to receiving updates from his owners. |
