That is how I got my BHS Stage 3, when it came to the jumping I aimed then closed my eyes, and I passed it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trallwm farm Posted July 17, 2008 Author Report Share Posted July 17, 2008 (edited) lovely picture, but what is a natural herd please and its preference to *other* herds?! We mix all horses together but they have enough space to form breakaway herds. A lot of places now have mare and gelding groups, seperate paddocks and so on. We allow our horses to form bonds with all ages and types which re-enforces the herd behaviour and instinct. Its a fantastic tool for a horse that has been seperated at a young age and then kept isolated from natural herd behaviour. They learn manners ,space ,natural horse behaviour and are so chilled. I have had youngsters that we have allowed the herd to teach and whom we then bring out and back them the same day. They have learnt how to deal with humans by how the rest of the herd behaves towards us. Its such an easy sensible way that it fascinates me that people go to the trouble of seperating foals and creating themselves problems for the future. Horses often create havoc because they dont know how to behave and dont understand body language. Our herd Matriarch is Irish who was born in the plains of Arizona and is as wild and free as you can get. I wrote about her in the last book. Everyone knows Irish runs the herd and she has "staff " who are a group of geldings who do her bidding and always graze on the outskirts as lookouts.

Thank you for the explanation, that sounds perfectly magical. It's funny how we think we can do things better then nature sometimes when nature has looked after her own for so long! xx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
