[Ag-eq] horse training

Thu Oct 4 16:09:13 UTC 2012

I looked up Clinton Anderson and it sounds very similar to natural
horsemanship.  Natural horsemanship involves a lot of ground work and work
on communications with your horse.  I only drive my pony in open fields and
on roads.  When I drive in the woods I take someone with better vision with
me.  My pony wears blinders and depends on me for direction.  This is tricky
when I can't see much beyond her head.  I have to be very careful.  My
trainer advised me to always take a sighted person with me but it is not
always practical.  So, I stick to roads and open places when I go out solo.

Liz:

Can you please tell us more about the natural horsemanship course, such as
who teaches it and anything else.

I would like to hear more about driving.  I've always thought it would be
hard to drive as a totally blind person.  It would seem so strange to only
have contact through the mouth.  I get so much information from my horse
while riding.  I can tell when he is relaxed, excited, nervous and the like.
