My Training Technique is to do a lot of different things and not drill on any one too long or to much. I think this helps to keep a horse fresh, and liking to learn. I reward them, by releasing pressure and taking breaks often.
I will probable work with them 5 to 6 times a week, but not do the same thing every day.
Day 1 and 3: leading and grooming.
Leading: 1.lead from both sides.
2.around scary things and over obstacles.
3.Teach them to walk when you do and stop when you do.
Grooming:1.Teach them to pick up their feet.
2.Use Brushes, combs and sprays
3.Get them used to Clippers.
Day 2 and 4: lounging
I would not lounge for more than 20 min. changing direction often.Spend some time getting him used to blankets, pads and the Sirsingle.
More Walking than Trotting, more trotting than loping.
Day 5:Grooming and Trailer loading.
Day 6:Pony him for a little bit say 1/2 hr, in an arena at first, then work up to going out on the trail some.
