Training starts long before we ever put a saddle or harness on them. ❤️
A few of the foals had front-row seats today while we worked some of the other horses.
We intentionally keep our youngsters in a higher-traffic area of the farm where they get to see and hear all the everyday commotion—horses being ridden and driven, equipment moving around, tractors, dogs, vehicles, people coming and going, and plenty of other “interesting” things.
They get to watch, investigate, and learn that all of this is just part of normal life.
There’s a lot to be said for raising young horses in an environment where exposure happens naturally. Every little experience now helps build a more confident, sensible horse later.
And apparently, horse training makes pretty good entertainment too. 😂🐴
