We have an exciting weekend ahead of us! While everyone will be sipping hot toddies and lounging in front of fires or watching dvd's under duvets (I am sickening myself with mental pictures!) we will be out watching a demonstration on trick training.
Alida has mentioned in her posts before that the two greys (Peanut and Butter) had been taught by a previous owner to do trick training, and so, he has agreed to do a demonstration tomorrow afternoon. The next door riding school has graciously agreed that we use their facilities and so I will endeavour to take a lot of pictures so that we can display them on the blog next week!
We have no idea what to expect but we understand that we will be suitably impressed, however, what remains to be seen is the MANNER in which the horses are treated, which is of paramount importance to us. As mentioned before, I am no fan of outdated or harsh training methods and neither is Alida, but we remain open-minded and will each write up our opinions formed after tomorrow.
So while we shiver in the breeze, enjoy staying warm this weekend and watch out for the report back next week!
