Goal(s)

Make the horse an explorer

Process

once your horse knows how to touch a target placed on a cone
at first, stand next to him, show the target, say "touch" and as soon as your horse touches it, click and reward with a treat
then from further away, if needed walk with your horse towards the target
the ultimate goal is for your horse to go alone to touch the target you show him

Difficulties

PREMIUM

Being able to lead in both eyes with a connected horse — first in zone 2, then in zones 3 and 4

PREMIUM

Desensitising the horse to objects dragging on the ground

Groundwork | Medium

Desensitising the horse to objects on the ground so that he is not afraid when they pass in front of or behind him. 👉 This exercise is an excellent prerequisite for long-reining work, but it also helps make the horse braver, more confident, and calm in unusual situations.
