Preview: First Exercise You Should Do With A Young Horse, With Two Year Old Specialist Dan Edwards.
Dan Edwards has been starting horse’s for many years now for industry leading trainers like Lloyd Cox, Matt Gaines, Austin Shepard, Sean Flynn, Craig Thompson, RL Chartier and the list goes on. In the first of many videos to come watch how Dan assess’s a young horse to see how broke it is on the first day it arrives, demonstrating why:
* The first exercise has to be achievable.
* Wants to halter drive the horse on a half circle between the wall and himself.
* The flag in these early stage’s is to teach them to move away from pressure and respect your space.
* How this is the beginning of teaching a horse to lead correctly.
* Why he wants the inside hind foot to be moving away from him as the walk around.
* Why getting them to walk is the goal.
* Why people miss this step.
* Why he doesn’t want too much bend.
* Why he asks for less flexion on a stiff and heavy horse.
* He expects “sureness before sharpness”.
* Biggest mistake people make doing this exercise.
