Generally we start our horses in the open sea, swimming next to the young horse in order to strengthen both, his body and his mind.
All horses can swim by instinct. While being out of his natural environment and with us controlling his direction and time of swimming, we achieve a dependence of the horse on his trainer, which is much more efficient than any training on the ground.
In just three training sessions the horse accepts willingly a rider on his back, who can control his direction and speed. |
