The Frank Bell training DVD's have arrived!

We will start working the program tomorrow. Building on trust instead of fear, working on areas of resistance, rewarding with release of pressure. Frank Bell's system was one of the few that works from the aspect of building the horse's trust first, then working from that foundation. Since Phebes has so many fear issues, this seemed like the best of the training systems out there. We are going to give it a go. The DVD's include:

Discover the horse you never knew.
Spooking and Shying.
Communication in the saddle.
Water & Bridge Crossings.
Trailer Loading.

We begin again tomorrow under the new plan! ~Endurance Granny
