Stand in Work

Andy Marcoux — Mon, 11 Nov 2019 05:01:28 +0000

Getting your horse to stand patiently while you're hitched or mounted takes a little practice, but it pays off for a lifetime!

This is the third (well, technically the fourth) lesson plan in the Stand series of lesson plans.

The groundwork from "Stand 1 - In Hand Work", plus "Stand 2 - Hitching", or "Stand 2.5 - Mounting" gives you the best chance for success in the project of giving your horse the skill to be still when you have him in work.

You can get all 4 lesson plans together in the “Teach Your Horse to Stand” class.

There's over $60 in downloadable materials for half the cost of one lesson at your barn!

The class also includes over 3 hours of class video with instruction on how to make the most of this training.
