Horse holidays in Scotland

Well thats the first weekend done, and a great time was had by all. We had Elspeth, Lynn and Sandi for the 2 day course, joined by Sandra, Ros, Morven and Ruaridh on the Sunday. You can see more of the pictures on the Highland Pony Chat forum

in the Training and handling section.

Our next one is on the 6th and 7th March and is the same format with our 2 day course costing £75.00 and the 1 day course on the Sunday at £45.00. This includes lunch, and tea, coffee and home baking on arrival. It is very informal and all the work is done with our trained horses. We are hoping that everyone will come back with thier horses and ponies in a few weeks for a private 1 to 1 session to fine tune any problems.

On the 13th and 14th February we are holding our first ever people training weekend. Having started and schooled many horses and ponies this way, we have been asked to share some of the methods that we use with some horse owners. So we have put together a programme of training with everyone using Michelle’s horses for the first sessions. Thereafter we are hoping that everyone will return with their horses and ponies for a couple of days, to sort out any issues that may have come up. We have 3 booked for the Saturday and 7 for the Sunday, so lets hope that the weather is kind to us.

This is Blair who spant some time with us for a bit of motivational schooling. Here he is doing the circling game.
