Factors influencing the success of learning

What does a horse need to learn basic training and other lessons safely?
In addition to the horse’s natural needs such as food, water, light and social contact, it needs a patient, consistent rider who is confident in his own ability. But that’s not all. A big additional point is that the horses need to be comfortable. They must have enough rest periods, free running, but also employment.
That is why it is always nice to see our training horses lying down and obviously relaxed and content in their boxes, the paddocks or the pasture.

Paddock and pasture time for the horses

Whether stallion, gelding or mare, with us every horse is allowed out into the fresh air. In order to offer the training and competition horses enough variety and to satisfy their needs, the horses come outside alone or as a pair.
With the current temperatures, we naturally make sure that the horses do not have to stand outside in the hot midday sun and that they have the opportunity to find a shady spot.

Intensive training and vacation in one

Last week it was time again. A part of the Akin family came to us in Debstedt for intensive training. Conny and daughter Emilia have often been to Pedro’s house for training and also this time the joy was great to meet the family again.
Besides the daily training the mother-daughter team could relax on the beach and visit sights. Meanwhile the team took care of the well-being of horse “Sir Lancelot”.
Besides the right training, the well-being of the horses is also very important to us. Because only if the whole package is right, you can quickly achieve success in training and get ahead.
As you can see in the video, “Lancelot” enjoys an extensive sand bath on one of our sand paddocks.
We are already looking forward to the next visit of family Akin!

Horse care. An important task before riding

Beside the paddock and pasture runs and contact to fellow horses, the care is one of the most important tasks for us in regards to appropriate keeping. Before riding the horse is cleaned not only for the sake of cleanliness but especially to warm up and massage the muscles. The horses savor the treatment and every so often one is stretching when the right spot is treated. (As seen in the video)

Pasture and paddock run for the training horses

The drawback when the training horses are allowed to run freely at the pasture and paddock all day …
Even after a clean scrub the saddle clothes are ready for a spin in the washing machine after riding. And the horses are ready for a shower.
