Hey y'all, So a couple months ago I started following The Willing Equine on instagram and fell in love with her training style. She trains her horses using positive reinforcement, or +R. It's incredible seeing videos of her training her horses because they are so willing and eager and I just really love her whole philosophy. Recently, Jet Eventing on YouTube began +R training with her horse and I've been loving watching and learning all about +R. I'm curious to see who here uses +R with their horses? I currently don't own my own but I would love to do this with them once I do own/lease a horse.
just was watching two movies (seabiscuit and kingdom of heaven) that included whipping horses as a matter of course. is this a normal part of riding?
Hi all, Something I've wanted to do for ages is a long distance horse trek, in which you pretty much ride from camp to camp in a team of two or three horses (ride, pack and spare). The only issue is I can't find many resources, except for the guide books which you have to buy. I plan to buy them when I am in the situation to start planning for the trek (won't be for a few years), but in the meantime I was wondering if any of you had experience on what skills are needed and what equipment should be bought. Some tips that make the whole experience easier are also highly requested!!
If anyone is wondering I am planning on doing the Bicentennial National Trail (BNT) which is 5300 km or 3300 miles long. It sounds long for a first time trek, but it's not like I have to do the whole thing and I can always turn around after a few days if I feel in over my head. For more info on the BMT here is the website: https://www.bicentennialnationaltrail.com.au/about/about-the-trail-us/#menu_bnt
Tl;dr: could anyone with experience in horse trekking depart their wisdom onto me? It can be anything related to the topic, I'm just knowledge hungry.
