~ Two Year Olds & Younger ~
| Morgans will grow well into their 5 and 6 year old years. At that time they stop growing "up" and begin to really fill out. Their knee bones do not close until they are three or four, so we don't really "work" them (under saddle) until that time.
|
My yearlings and weanlings are handled every day. They lead and tie safely. They have their feet picked up and handled regularly and begin farrier work between 30-45 days of age. They are accustomed to clippers, grooming, and fly-spray. |
| Our two year olds are well handled and have started their performance training. They wear a bitting-rig (surcingle and crupper) comfortably and learn to work both on a long-line and free-lunging (no lines at all; just verbal commands and hand signals). By fall, they are wearing a rubber bit and have learned to carry a rider at a halt and a walk; bending and giving to pressures.
|
The mindsets and work ethics of the youngsters in my program are second to none. They are sound-thinking and willing to please regardless if they have a lot of spirit and spark or if they are laid-back and easy-going in disposition. They are all Amateur-friendly and a joy to train. |
