This is a step-by-step guide to the training your weanling needs. Written by John Lyons Trainer Keith Hosman, (that's me) you can print out this course from your own computer and be training 10 minutes from now.
Based on the gentle and proven methods of John Lyons, you'll train your foal to be safer and:
- to respect you and your space
- to deal with its fear
- to stand calmly
- to begin "giving to pressure," the very foundation of all training
As an added freebie bonus...
I've included an extra chapter that shows exactly how to teach your colt to lift his legs for you or the farrier - when you point! (As extracted from my ebook, "Trailer Training Your Horse.")
Download "Your Foal: Essential Training" now for $5.99. It's broken into five "days" or segments - so that price works out to just over a buck day!
But, wait there's more, as they say!
An extra extra bonus...
Purchase a copy of "Your Foal Essential Training" through the links in this email - and I'll throw in a free print out of a very popular article called "Teach Your Horse to Sidepass Toward You on the Ground." Written for the adult horse, the material can easily be adapted (factoring in a little common sense) to your foal. (See article sample below.)
(You can print most of my articles for free - but I do normally charge for a handful of them, including this particular selection.)

Have you seen Pat Parelli, Clinton Anderson or other famous horse trainers back away from their horses (on the ground) – while their horses continue to sidestep toward them? It looks pretty cool, doesn't it? It looks impressive, like something that took years of training and maybe a little black magic. Funny thing is, this trick with such a high "wow" factor is actually one of the easier things to teach. This, as opposed to a smooth flying lead change or a reiner's sliding stop – two examples of "tricks" which take years to perfect. With an amenable, tractable horse, you can teach the "sidepass toward you" in just a few easy sessions.
Notice the two words "amenable" (willing) and "tractable" (easily managed). If your horse isn't willing and easily managed on the ground, if his shoulders can't be moved away or he can't be backed up lightly, then shelve this exercise until you've done more ground work. To look at it another way: If your horse thinks he's the boss of you, don't even try this. Find yourself a book, video or article on round penning/ground control and start there. To be blunt, you have no business attempting a more advanced maneuver if your horse is likely to bowl you over when agitated. Ignore this advice, and you'll find yourself with a real handful...."
