Intro to Cow Working Bar T Horsemanship, October 23, $150 This one-day clinic is all about getting your horse exposed to cows. You and your horse will get familiar cattle familiarization, move the herd in an open environment, understand flight-zone, get a feel for pressure/release with the cow. No matter what discipline you ride, this is a terrific confidence-builder for your horse.
Jim takes a moment to discuss what "True Feel" means. This is a great message from Jim and relates to equestrians of all stages and disciplines. Watch the video below to hear from Jim!
In this video series, Jim Thomas talks about helping a horse find a safe space, and how to transfer that one safe into other areas or tasks for the horse. Dr. Steve Peters is on site for this demonstration and offers input as well. We will be posting a three-part series of these videos with Mason the horse, Jim's perspective and some insight from Dr. Peters. Stay tuned for parts 2 and 3 but each video has information independently useful.
What do you do when your horse has become a little ring sour and has learned to stop in a corner? Many of us have seen this before and a horse will drift into a corner, or spot in the arena, and then resist attempts to ride off. Jim talks a bit in this lesson about how to correct this problem and the correlation between solving this problem and helping the horse know how to move off a cue and keep moving.
