I am pleased to be able to tell you that we will be running another Handling the Semi-Feral Foal Course for the Dartmoor Pony Training Centre in Widecombe-in-the-Moor from 25th October 2010 through to 29th October. There will also be an open day on 30th October.
This five day course will give you the opportunity to work with two Dartmoor Hill ponies from start to finish and to explore techniques using pressure and release, advance and retreat and body language as well as some clicker training.
PRESS RELEASE
An exciting new opportunity to learn how to handle Dartmoor ponies will be available next year and people are being asked to book early.
The Dartmoor Pony Training Centre (DPTC) in conjunction with Sarah Weston of Intelligent Horsemanship is pleased to announce a five-day Wild Pony Training Workshop.
The workshop will be using feral Dartmoor Hill Ponies, though each method learned can be applied to all equines, and will be held in Widecombe, Devon. It will run for five days from the 25th to 29th October 2010.
The workshop costs £250 for the full 5 days, a limited number of spectators are welcome at £20 a day.
Taking on an unhandled pony can prove very rewarding, but it can also be a terrific challenge, especially if you buy one straight from the moors at the sales. This special workshop is dedicated to helping you learn how to handle feral ponies and will give you the experience and confidence you need to make a new partnership immensely rewarding and satisfying both for you and your pony.
Sarah Weston of Intelligent Horsemanship is renowned for her work with unhandled feral ponies including New Forests, Exmoors and Dartmoors. She will be the lead trainer at the course and will bring with her other experienced trainers in the field. The work with these ponies will involve one on-one sessions with these trainers and so therefore places on the course are limited.
