I'm hoping that someone can recommend a trainer who will come to the yard and do a training session with both owners and riders.
I need someone who is bit too 'alternative' but who will train both riders and owners about how to lead correctly and do the basics of ground work.
I'm hoping that once the weather improves and the ground dries that it'll be possible to do this in the field although there are plans to build a school..not holding my breath here
However if I can find someone who can do this I can then work on getting YO to agree if we all contribute to the cost.
The situation is as follows; private yard with 6 horses and 3 owners. The YO owns 4 horses and myself and two others ride 3 of the horses for her. This means that inconsistencies in riding and handling has allowed more than a few bad habits to sneak in. For instance I lead all the horses on a loose rein but owner will insist that they have to have the lead rope looped around the nose in case they take off. I personally hate this practice!
My concern is that unless something changes soon there will be an accident..there was one recent near miss when poorly schooled youngster bolted on a hack.
