We are currently looking for demonstration horses for The Royal Show 3rd-6th July 2008. Horses that are ready for their first saddle and rider? (must be halter broken) or a horse with remedial issues such as spooky? Or do you have a horse you cannot load? We are looking for the toughest non-loaders in the area!!

Practical Horsemanship is a collaboration between Dan Wilson and Grant Bazin, who have been involved with horses their whole lives.

The methods they utilise are those of non-violence and using the horses own inbuilt body language to establish clear boundaries, allowing them to train horses in a calmer and safer way.

If you are interested please email me at dani@practicalhorsemanship.co.uk

Many Thanks
 
I saw some poor people having such a problem loading their horse at Coleshill Heath show last month .I wish I knew who they were as it is only a few miles from the Royal Show ground.
I hope to come to the show and will look out for the demo
 
Actually, forget that, i'm only here on the 5th and 6th, and i'm sure you'll want something much more spectacular for the weekends

Take my beast, bad thing is he is bad to load so might not be able to get him there to take part in it as a bad loader lol.

LOL very valid point!
 
jesterfaerie, where abouts are you? Sometimes we have horses that people can just about get on a box and then they can get to us, other times we come out to pick horses up. When we do this we use panels and try to touch the horse as little as possible so we are not training it before the demonstration. If you are close we may be able to do this!
 
Well I have a horse who isn't scared of going into a box as such, just decides he's going to mess around and the only way he seems to want to load is by stepping on the side of the ramp and then walking up sideways.

Oh and he is very naughty for napping, he always turns to the left and we get into a battle of wills, if I don't manage to keep him going and doing 360 degree turn,which ends up with him having a paddy, stapping his front feet and trying to throw in a buck as I wont let him go in the direction he wants, e.g. home....it is a game I am getting so fedup with.
 
Shame we are too far away now, I used to live near to Stoneleigh. Tarquin was a guinea pig ofr Monty Roberts last year for his 'spooky' demo and is fine with spooky stuff now he has developed an annoying habit of loading fine to go out but not wanting to come home. Last two times it's taken up to 45 minutes and five of us, one on the front and the other four to push him up the ramp.
 
Thanks everyone for your great response! Thanks to you we think we have enough horses to fill our slots now, any more and we wouldnt be able to give each horse the time they need!

However we would still like to help you and your horses out and i will PM you some details about how we can hopefully help you.

We are always looking for demonstration horses all over the country, so please don't hesitate to contact us in the future. Maybe you have a two/three year old who you would like starting at next years Royal Show!?

Many thanks again for your great response, if you need anything give us a call or check out the website www.practicalhorsemanship.co.uk

Thanks, Dani
