I confess I can't back a horse in 10 hours - or should I say I WON'T!! Which would YOU prefer?
The video shows a young (4) RID mare who'd done 4 weeks groundwork before rider went on and this is 5th day with rider on - and first day with rider OFF the lunge!
4 weeks AFTER this video, a potential buyer tried her - a nervous middle-aged lady who had hardly been on a horse since losing hers 6 months ago. The mare stood like a rock at the mounting block - and carried her around in walk, trot and canter without putting a foot wrong! And - funny enough - she didn't need a buckstop at ANY stage of her training!
