In search of a Carriage Horse for Central Park ( Animal Rights Learning Center ) HSUS, PETA LIE

November 26th, 2009

The purpose of this vid is to show the simple transition from rural to urban. Our horses are first hand selected by expert Amish horsemen from their stock and then the final selection is made by us as to which horse is most suitable. Many of the Carriage Horses of Central Park come through the capable and experienced hands of the Amish and Mennonite farmers of Lancaster. I have purchased 3 of the 5 horses I own from the Martin family in Fivepointsville. The first one, Finbar, now retired, was sold to me over 20 years ago.

How should I begin restarting my new horse using Natural Horsemanship?

November 25th, 2009

I can’t afford a trainer. Any tips you can give me would be great!

I am an experienced horseback rider, as I’ve been riding for over 15 years. I currently ride dressage, but I have a lot of experince with natural horsemanship. I would definitely recommend using Monty Roberts’ Join-Up method. I have found it to be very effective. I have done it with one of my horses and it helped to strengthen our bond, making us better partners. I have heard that Parelli is effective, but I have found it to be more commercial and less about the well-being of the horse. Go to www.montyroberts.com for more info!

how can u train and learn to ride a mustang horse?

November 25th, 2009


If you have never ridden before, you should NOT be training a Mustang. First, you need to take lessons- years of lessons. Only then should you consider training. Find a respected instructor or trainer that’s willing to take you under their wing for a few years. All of this should probably take you, at minimum, 10 years. After this, ask some professionals you know to evaluate your horsemanship and if they believe you’re ready to train a horse. Then you can find a horse, and you should have a trainer that you can contact if you need help for your first horse.

A horse is a huge investment. Not something that you can just wake up one day, buy, and train. Put some serious thought into this before you run off and buy and young, green Mustang.

can i learn to ride a horse by myself?

November 25th, 2009


Learning to ride a horse is not something to learn by yourself! You may not need to take formal lessons, but you should have the guidance of someone with experience.

The reason for this is that you need to learn the basic "language" to communicate with the horse. For example, there are different ways to tell a horse which way to turn (neck reining, direct reining, leg pressure, weight). This is not something you would instinctively know how to do. Since you communicate with a horse via a metal bit in its mouth, you could even accidentally cause it pain if you don’t know how to use the reins properly.

Also, you need to know how to react safely in an emergency. Would you know how to stop a runaway horse or do an emergency dismount? These are things that someone needs to teach you.

You’ll also need guidance in tacking up the horse (putting on its saddle or bridle). For example, if you don’t saddle the horse properly, the saddle could shift and you could fall off. Or it could rub the horse and give it a sore.

Once you know the basics, you can expand on them yourself. But when you first get started, you will need some guidance. Good luck!
