Greetings All...
QUESTION: What do YOU do to train your horses for SCA EQ Games?
QUESTION: Whast are YOUR favorite SCA EQ Games?
#1: For me my Lady and our two Mustangs...pretty much EVERYTHING we do can relate to success and fun in the games. Our mustangs are new to us as of September 2009. We do lots of desensitizing to all sorts of things. We introduce the various "weapons" we use. We make noise. We move fast around them. Heck, we even have fighter practices in the pasture! Nothing sounds like armored fighters in their (the horses) world. We work on sensitizing them to pressure, yeilding of the five body parts and being supple and light. All those skills are needed to be successful and have fun in the games.
#2: For Jolene and I the RIng Joust seems to be a favorite. We have been working on speed contol in various gates and getting the gates to be as smooth as possible to allow better accuracy with the lance. Smokey and Alloria seem to be getting on with the heads. Smokey likes the turns. The heads comming of their supports doesn't phanse him. So far, so good.
Cheers!

We've had a week of snow and rain.
No power, no water, no heat. Major un-fun-ness! Had to repair fences in the rain yesterday.
Seems one of our horses "pushed" the other into the hot tape which led to a "ow-ow-ow" retreat and bolt by the "pushee".
Again...un-fun-ness. Wondered why the looked so guilty yesterday.
But today the sun has peeked its head throught the clouds.
The house is warm. We have the ability once again to take hot showers.
Life is good.
We are gearing up for the holidays and 12th Night.
We are also gearing up for our Combative Arts/ A&S Day on january 23, 2010 which is being hosted at our place.
We'll have a great fighting track and a great A&S track which will include some Horse 101 stuff!
Should be a good time!
Hopefully things dry out today to the point where we can work the horses.
We were really making progress on yielding the forequarters last week. Other exercises were working out well too.
Hate to lose that progress.
I see a "Skills Review" session coming up!
