Breaking in

Gently but firmly, breaking-in goes like this : 

- approaching the horse with confidence, setting up trust, discovering grooming and tack

- progressive lunging, learning voice commands, quiet transitions

- mounting the horse 

- get in the saddle, discover aids on the lunge 

- start working off the lunge

Subsequently discovering jumping. Loose jumping to begin with and then under saddle, in a progressive manner so that the horse remains confident and with a good impression., 

Opportunity to discover competition with confidence thanks to the many training competitions organised in the area, before commencing the official jumping shows.
