About Rick Gore (www.freewebs.com/horseawareness)
Expertise
Visit Rick Gore's Horse Site: --- www.freewebs.com/horseawareness
--Rick is a student of the horse. He can answer questions about sacking out (Desensitizing vs. Sensitizing), dealing with spooky, abused or ex-race horses, rearing, bucking, horses that won’t tie or load into a trailer, working in a round pen/round corral, starting colts, dealing with aggressive or so called "mean" horses, herd behavior, biting, kicking, hard to catch, using a bosal or hackamore, soft hands and direct reining verses neck reining. If you expect him to tell you feel good advice, you will be disappointed. 95% of all his answers will include "the problem is you and not your horse." About 90% of most answers that I give out are on my web site, so if you read it you will probably answer your own question and may learn a few other things. If have some good information that you would like me to add to my site, please email me so it can be passed on to others.

Subject: training of young haflinger: www.freewebs.com/horseawareness
Question
My 10month old haflinger foal Princess Aurora, has to be trained in a year or so and i have started the basics putting the headcoller on and off, lunging her, walking her around teaching her to stop and start, also the groom ing and washing.
She has had a 1 visit off the farrier and she behaved very well she is very close to me in our friendship so she never wants to leave me alone when i go and see her.
i would love to know anything else i could do with her so thay when i come to fully train her she will be a bit more aware of we are doing.
I also have 1 more quick question for you. I also have a standardbred mare 14.2h called Fly and My foal Princess Aurora who asked you about is very close to Fly and follows her everywhere and if I take Fly out riding She practically knocks down her stable door and also she shouts alot at night. I would like to know if you could help as my mare is getting old now as she is 20yrs old and I am afraid that when Fly goes to the sky Aurora will be heartbroken and a terror to train she tags along with fly as if she was her mother i have a feeling she might have been weaned from her mother a bit too early. can you help?
Answer
I would let the horses stay together and be together, the older horse will teach the young one some manners and other lesson that you cannot teach. It will also make your training her easier since she will be getting rid of excess energy with the other horse when she is not with you.
As for more ideas on what to do with her, read my horsemanship page and my horseman tips page on my site, they will give you lots of ideas.
