AUGUST 18 CLINIC: PROBLEM SOLVING II: BOOSTING HORSES’ CONFIDENCE
Ruben Morales worked with the Morgan mare, Dutchess, to improve her confidence and response level and show how quickly resistance, fear and over-excitability can disappear. Dutchess was unmatchable for two years, living in a field in all seasons. Ruben saddle broke her in the August 11th clinic, and in last week’s clinic he boosted her confidence by asking her to walk over strange surfaces such as a tarp, bridge and pole on the ground.
