Day One: Look at Me

by Keith Hosman

In Day One we'll begin gently taking charge as we begin to control the direction of the horse and his movements. The light bulb over his head flickers for the first time as your youngster begins to realize that we call the shots.

Your horse's foundation begins here, in this most simple of simple lessons, as we begin to control his elemental movements, safely and from the ground. Your goal here is twofold: Show the foal you're calling the shots and to build his confidence.
