TEC's Charm School
& Natural Horsemanship

Description:
Our goal is to create a mental and emotional availability in your horse in order to achieve the physical response you are asking of your horse. We are not looking for your horse to "go through the motions" and tolerate what is being asked, instead we want him to feel "warm and fuzzy" on the inside so that he offers to "try" for you. Remember we are working with animals that have their own set of emotions, feelings and thoughts and must consider those in order to gain their trust and respect.

Assessment -  To evaluate where your horse is mentally, emotionally, and physically when you interact with him.

Basic Manners -  Does your horse respect your personal space and give you 100% of his attention when you are handling him?

Tucker, Feeling Warm & Fuzzy

Blanketing -  Will your horse stand and accept willingly for you to blanket any part of his body?

Bull/Round Pen -  Will he freely accept "sending his thought” and attention to where you would like it to be directed?

Clipping -  Will your horse stand still while you clip any part of his body?

Feet/Farrier -  Does he stand quietly and give the foot you asked for while bearing his own weight?

Fly Spraying -  Will your horse stand without moving a single foot when you fly spray him?

Jumping -  If you present an obstacle while you are on the ground will your horse address and go over it?

Sending Tucker's Thoughts Forward

Leading - Does your horse accept you as its leader and follow willingly without rushing under all circumstances?

Longeing  -  Does your horse accept the longe and give in to pressure or does he drag you around?  Does he understand and respect voice commands?

Ponying  - Can your horse pony comfortably behind another horse while maintaining a comfortable personal space?

Refinement -  Does your horse seem to know all the basic groundwork, but has “just one issue” caused by  a lack of respect or confidence?

Saddling/Bridling -  Will your horse accept both the saddle and bridle without resistance and stand quietly?

Drying after Baths

Starting -  Horses that have 45 days or less interacting with humans.

Streams/Puddles -  Will he cross willingly when asked?

Trailering  - Will your horse address the trailer?
    - Will your horse slowly, quietly, and confidently load and unload?

Trail Riding  - Does walking through the woods or open spaces bother him?
    - Does brush, wind, water, logs and ditches cause him to become stressed?
    - Can he walk slowly up and down hills or does he have to rush?

    - Can he be a “fun” ride with a group of horses?

Tying Starts Early

Tying -  Will your horse stand still when tied to: cross ties, hitching post, trailer, ground tie, etc.?

Water/Bathing -  Will horse stand quietly while bathing him?
