To your horses personal training page where you can watch your horse’s progress as we train them. You will see many different scenario’s and desensitizing techniques that we work with. NOTE: On Desensitizing You can over-desensitize a horse if you don’t do it right, causing problems later on, such as control and safety problems. When we are desensitizing (sacking out) a horse its not so much about the obstacle and or objects as it is the mental connection we are establishing between your horse and us. We are waking up the horses mind and getting their gears turning and thinking and learning with us.
