Nash - gentle herding - 2 Nov 2024

Nash the 8yr old Grulla gelding arrived Saturday 2 Nov 2024. A couple hours after being introduced to our small lot I did a gentle herding exercise followed by ponying him at a walk and a trot in both directions. Ride along with me (on Avi) during the gentle herding portion of this training session. The gentle herding is to teach Nash that the team of Avi and I are the herd boss BECAUSE we control the movement of the herd. The idea is to talk horse to the horse so they understand the concept being taught. This GREATLY reduces biting and kicking when the horses are introduced to the same pasture later on.

Training horses always involves some risk of injury (or even death) to the horse, the trainer, any spectators, equipment used, etc. - this risk is totally your own as you will be making your own judgements on what to do. As with any suggestions on any subject you must weigh them out for yourself and proceed accordingly - at your own risk.

Remember to intentionally, on purpose, learn of God each day by prayerfully reading, studying, and pondering upon God's word each day. Talk to God in prayer as your Heavenly Father who would like for you to be His friend. Find out what He would like you to do for Him as His friend and go and do it for Him as His friend. Yes very intentionally, very much on purpose, become the friend of God. And have a blessed day!!
