Desensitization
I use a variety of methods, styles, and tools to desensitize each horse according to their needs. A high level of increased desensitization is used for horses that will need to be "bomb proof" for their vocation, such as: police mounts in larger cities and urban areas. Another example of a horse in need of increased "bomb-proofing" would be one that will be going into service as a therapeutic riding horse. Those horses which will be used for equestrian sports and ranch work, require a different type of desensitizing that will allow them to remain responsive to specific training cues and alert for things around them, while doing their job.
"Horse-anality"
All horses are different and suited for different jobs and homes, so we as horsemen and trainers have to be realistic in finding the best vocation or sport for each horse's personality and traits. Whatever the horse's needs, I will do my best to get them comfortable in the environment they will be in. This means finding what they are physically capable of, depending on breed, age, and athleticism. It is also equally important to figure out what the horse seems interested in based on their mental tolerance and "horse-anality" traits.
Realistic Goals
Do you need a good trail horse? Do you need a calm easy-going kid horse? Do you want a partner for life? Do you want a young horse that will have the potential to go far in a jumping career? These are the questions we should ask ourselves as horse owners and riders, so that we make sure to have realistic expectations for the horse we have or are seeking.
It is also important to be upfront with your trainer at Sagebrush, so that they are aware of you goals, and can try to get the results you are looking for!
