Besides those tricks we know the podest, crossing legs, roll up carpets, pulling a blanket and many more. All of them are trained with an immediate reward after you get the right reaction from the horse. A lot of confidence and trust is also necessary for that. Very young horses as well as older horses who can’t be ridden anymore, small or big horses, have a lot of fun with it when all the movements are correctly and systematically trained from the beginning.
Build up confidence between horse and rider.
Circus work is a wonderful opportunity to train your horse in a fun way that is stretching and strengthen all muscle groups. And it is super for the horses mind!
