Getting a young horse used to poles and plastic (TRAILER)

- http://horsehero.com/5201/5214/32190 - Dr Diamond Maker (Beau) is a slightly spooky three year old Quarter Horse. He's come to behaviourist Sarah Fisher for some early education with poles and plastic. Sarah uses a body wrap to help Beau be more aware of his body. She explains how to lead and allow the horse to halt to improve his balance which is a little awkward as he is croup high at this point in his development. Polework consolidates his learning. Beau is introduced to plastic and bravely walks on it too! Sarah demonstrates hows how to teach a young horse to pick up its legs. She also points out subtle behaviour often missed in training which shows us how the horse is really reacting.
