  • This the DANGER of a TALENTED horse: TRT Podcast
    Dec 31 2023

    In this episode I'm diving into the world of training talented horses.

    It's easy to take their abilities for granted, but rushing through exercises without a proper preparation, and the right explanation of all the steps, can lead to issues later on.

    Take flying changes for example. While a less talented horse requires careful steps like perfecting transitions, it can seem quite easy and effortlessly for a talented horse.

    The danger in this?

    Without groundwork, also the talented horses can struggle when expectations rise.

    The same goes for trailer loading. A horse may load smoothly, but without the right explanation of the entire trailer loading process, they might face challenges later on.

    So whether it's a flying change or trailer loading, it's best to treat all horses with equal attention.

    It's really important to explain each step to set them up for lasting success! 💪
