Burto is back… with a brand new episode of ’Burto’s Basics’! Previously, we’d been introduced to young event horse, Barney, who was exhibiting fear in the presence of ditches. In this episode, we take a look at how the training has progressed, and the tactics Australian event rider, Chris ’Burto’ Burton, and horse trainer, Connie Colfox, have used to continue Barney’s progress.<\/p>\n
They look at how the combination of leadership, positive reinforcement and trust building exercises can improve a horse’s perception and learning. There’s no force, no coercion – just training and and understanding, as Connie and Chris look to train for the future, not just for the moment.<\/p>\n
Watch as the team work together from the school to the cross country field, and work up from baby steps to leaps of faith!<\/p>\n
