ROUND-PEN
Our round-pen is an integral tool for starting and training horses. The round pen training principle is a modification of natural herd behaviour using rewards in the form of body language that mimics the horse's natural herd instincts to encourage the desired behaviour.
Results are usually seen very quickly and a strong bond is formed between horse and human through these training methods. The behaviour is learned - it is embedded for life, as long as the horse receives the same consistent human responses.
Round pen training is an invaluable tool to teach a basic education for starting horses or remedial work for older horses. It allows the horse to move freely forward, without halter or rope constraints, gaining natural balance at walk, trot and canter. It's an environment that’s safe and conducive to ongoing communication and connection between you and your horse.
