Horse Training From The Ground Up

Labyrinth



The First Turn

Skumur

Skumur starting the first turn

As we start the labyrinth, the horse is on my left--on the outside of the turn.


The Second Turn

Skumur

Skumur adjusts to be on the outside.

As we approach the second turn, the lead rope is passed behind my back to the opposite hand and the horse follows the lead to go to the outside of this turn.


The Third Turn

Skumur

Things are going good!

Again, the horse switching sides is "advanced". Some horses may have to work up to this.


The Fourth Turn

Skumur

Still doing well!

Skumur did not hit any of the logs at any time. He performed very well.


The Last Turn

Skumur

Leading from the right

Skumur usually has a problem with anything in his right eye, but possibly the concentration of the labyrinth helped him thru this.
