SPOOKY STANDARDBRED MINI COURSE
SPOOKY STANDARDBRED MINI COURSE
Have you got a spooky standardbred?
Is your standardbred nervous and never quite seems to relax?
Are you losing confidence handling your horse, because your standardbred shies or is tense all the time and this makes you feel vulnerable and worried about getting hurt?
Never fear standardbred lover; we’ve got you!
Our Spooky Standardbred Mini Course will teach you how to safely and confidently work through exercises to help your anxious standardbred become more relaxed, less reactive and learn to trust and follow your lead.
You may have heard everyone raving about how lovely and quiet standardbreds are meant to be.
Standardbreds are known to be calm and gentle; the perfect first horse & a great partner to shuttle a beginner around.
For the most part, this is pretty true!
We’ve worked hundreds of standardreds over the years here at Raising the Standards and the majority have been pretty chilled out and easy-going.
But we definitely have come across our fair share of hot, spooky and anxious standardbreds, who have been taken through our specific standardbred de-sensitisation exercises and needed a bit more intensive help to relax.
WE KNOW HOW AWFUL IT CAN FEEL WHEN YOUR STANDARDBRED ISN’T BEHAVING LIKE THE OTHERS.
You start to question why your standardbred is so difficult and whether you’ve got the skills to retrain a standardbred on your own (self-doubt starts to creep in!)
Everyone else seems to have this cruisy standardbred retraining journey and here you are, death-gripping the lead rope and feeling far, far out of your comfort zone.
Soon, even the thought of going out and working with your standardbred creates feelings of anxiety and hesitation.
It just isn’t the fun, soul-filling experience you thought it would be.
The Spooky Standardbred Mini Course will walk you through a whole range of exercises to help you and your standardbred become a connected partnership.
Because trust is a huge factor.
If you don’t fully trust your standardbred & relax around them, they will sense your apprehension and the tense energy will flow back and forth between you.
And when you earn your standardbred’s trust, they will move mountains for you.
Going it alone is really tough; it adds hours and hours of unnecessary trial, error, confusion and frustration into your standardbred retraining journey.
Wouldn’t it make more sense to learn from someone who has been through the process before you?
To take a shortcut on the path to standardbred success!
By learning from experienced standardbred people, you can avoid getting stuck in a rut and all of the exhaustion that comes from having to figure out every little skill and strange standardbred behaviour on your own.
That’s where your friends here at Raising the Standards are ready to lend you a helping hoof.
