is called stripping the period during which the foal learns to remain calm in the mount, to accept and bear serenely the rider at all paces in moving forward to meet the aid élémentaires.Le stripping itself is always preceded by a familiarization phase and a horse's confidence building.
Shedding is the first education given rise to the horse. It strongly influences the future relationship between horse and rider, the quality of dialogue that takes place in any work to cheval.Cette period, particularly sensitive will often permanent consequences on the physical and morale of the young horse whose amazing memory forever keep the memory.
unclogging a horse, not only get the horse to accept the rider on his back without a fight. It is mainly to establish a term relationship and quality between the horse and man.
TO KNOW:
- The use of voice: The voice has a very important place, both in the life of the foal than in the adult horse. It must always be controlled. No crisis PREMATURE It must be encouraging, it should calm down or compliment, but it must also be dry or reprimand as needed. -Consider the memory of the horse: The horse has a selective memory. He will retain both what he liked what he was displeased. Anyway it still retain the relationship of cause and effect. If there must be punishment, it must be at the stupidity not 20 minutes later (he would not understand). Finally, always have calculated movements. First order not to frighten the colt, then for a possible reaction if the colt was alarmed by an external event. Anyway, do not be overwhelmed by emotions and especially anger .- Material: Bridle (no noseband) cavesson, girth, loin maid, gloves (that's better) and protection for the horse ( assuming there is already accustomed). And later saddle, whip and BOMB. THE VARIOUS STAGES OF
DECORING ALONG THE GROWTH OF FOAL:
· When an early age, we touched, and sometimes even before his mother, one is recognizing him as someone with whom the goods arrive. Croutons in his pockets, his affection, but also firm: you do not nibble, we do not push. Very soon, we accustomed to the halter and lunge. We let the colt tied near his mother long moments, the manipulates it, it always takes her feet without sudden movements and talking a lot. Walk with the colt halter is the first learning.
· Around 18 months, once the horse desensitized begins work on foot. They are taught to follow the person calmly and safe for bystanders. Then the loin (short sessions from 5 to 10 min) the horse must learn to turn round to look (walk, trot, canter, stop) requested in a calm, exploring the maid and voice commands. Ten sessions, but every day, to hear the orders. For this we use most often cavesson, a sort of halter, with 3 rings on the noseband (2 lateral and 1 central). When circumstances permit, the colt takes on the lunge to the three-stage wherever we may go on horseback, riding either his mother or the reference mare herd. It is forbidden to overtake the rider's right knee: voice commands and kids. The colt is right, because from the beginning, he learns to stay on the side of the road non-hazardous. It still leaves the pre for a year.
· Towards thirty months, but new sessions along with saddle, net, using calipers and lightweight. The trainer holds the colt in hand, and starts using his stomach on the saddle and the horse crosses. We walk to his head and it requires help to take a permanent contact with the mouth with one hand but permeable smoothly that accompanies the movement of the neck.
At first, the trainer remains head of the foal, to avoid conflicts with the jumper. They are always negative whatever the outcome. At this precise moment of stripping, the rider has, in fact, little role to play. His main job is to stay quiet and you must avoid all actions stray from him that can not be understood by the foal (do not shake your legs to "hold", which is a typical gesture of predator). Longe hand held short, the trainer is the only focus of the horse. It's just that he alone orders and especially security against the danger that comes from climbing on his back. The holding "the head" hard time adapting foal to this new situation. It is often only a few moments but the attention of the trainer should be, at this time, permanent and unwavering. The intervention, if necessary, should be immediate. No conflict at this moment is an omen of success. The trainer when "feels", then let slip the lanyard.
attitudes of the rider and his aides (straightening of the torso, leg action ...) the previous order still already known voice. Thus the foal acquires understanding a new language, sign this. In general, after a few minutes, you can release the foal and he was taken to not using very wide opening reins, especially not forgetting a huge transfer of regulatory rein. Ten sessions in career walk and trot and two or three trips outside with a jumper on the back in the middle of the herd safe. The foal is then delivered to the meadow for 6 months.
· Towards 3 years, the stripping is more to do. Everything is already acquired. Just then mount it, never deceive on the reins fitted with a soft hand and leg persuasive, but also a good agreement and large aid transfers to each sign of obedience. Do not hesitate to use his voice to reassure and encourage.
• If you start with a foal at age 3 or older, and that we must quickly clogs. A relationship of trust and respect must be established immediately because at that age, the strength of the foal is not negligible. The approach is the same. The preliminary work on the lunge always prepares the horse to the aid of language acquisition. The new way of asking should always precede the former. The rider must always respect the locomotion of the horse with a hand that "supports". Galloping, the horse's head up by half-stops.
IN SUMMARY:
Require that what we are sure we can get.
Never "heating" and if that happens, stop the session time to empty. The horse does not understand the anger.
Never fool the horse by putting him in difficult situations who would lose his confidence.
Never ask what it is not prepared to do. Do not punish
if you're not absolutely sure I understood.
Everything else is just a matter of common sense, tact and appropriateness.
