TRAINING and CERTIFICATION
Number One: Understand the issue. How can you solve a problem when you donât really know what the problem is? This clinic will give you a comprehensive understanding of your horsesâ issues regarding spooking. You will know why they spook, and more importantly, what they are thinking and what triggers their escape mechanisms.
Number Two: Know what to do about it. Once you have an understanding of what is really happening, you will then be trained on how to deal with not only the issues your horse has but other problems in the future with any horse. This clinic will teach you how to build your horseâs confidence in you and most importantly teach the two of you to have trust in each other, and it all begins with understanding.
HAVE A SPOOKEY HORSE? BELIEVE IT OR NOT, THERE IS A CURE
Think of it this way, if Arabs, Thoroughbreds, Warm-bloods, Quarter Horses, Appaloosas, Paints and all kinds of horses can be trained to be police horses, there is no reason your horse canât be taught the same things. The fact is, training a horse to be âspook proofâ is just another training method. Like all other training methods, it requires a working knowledge of techniques used in police training. And, like all training, with enough practice your horse will learn to trust you and âgo forwardâ through whatever you tell them to go through with little or no resistance.
