Teaching Moon to Stand Quietly at the Mounting Block, continued

3/23/2016

This is the follow-up session to my first session teaching Moon about how to stand quietly at the mounting block. Standing quietly at the mounting block is one of the main criteria I require before ever considering to mount a horse for a first ride.

Very good about mounting block. I don't have the advantage of having a indoor, but in saying that could you go over long raining again. Start to finish. Sure would like to see it agsin. Love your videos. I have a 12 yr. Ottb. Have had him for 1yr 1/2 now and just been able to start him. He was a very angry horse. Was rode and put away wet. But what a sweetie now, love it. Thanks

Hello Nancy, I will actually be practicing the mounting block exercise outside a few times over the next week, so it's definitely something you are able to do without an indoor :-)

In regards to ground driving, I will be sure to make a video about ground driving when I am ready to start that with Moon. I will not be putting a bridle on her until after the dentist comes out to float her teeth though so that might be a few weeks away. If you have any specific questions in the meantime, please feel free to message them to me here via the "Contact" page at http://www.ottbtraining.com/contact.html
