Abailes GS has returned to GoldenGael and will be under the training of Aubree Forsythe.  We are all very excited to have him home and back with Aubree.

May 2008

Abailes and Christy participated in an obstacle course session to desensitize him to various items.  He was confident and curious.  Christy did not “lead” him through the obstacles, rather she stood at his side and asked him to go through each course.  They have built a bond and he trusts her.  Christy explained that if she had done her job properly as a trainer, Abailes would trust her and do what she asked of him.  As you can see from the photos, Christy is off to the side as he moves forward through each obstacle.  Trust, it’s that simple.    

April 2008

We all knew Abailes was smart, but we’re just now beginning to learn just HOW smart he is.  His “colt” trainer, Christy Coker, uses a basic natural horsemanship with the foundation of earning respect with teaching respect.  Christy has studied with Clinton Anderson and practices his natural horsemanship methods.  I’ve watched her closely and her work is simply amazing.  He is scheduled to be gelded next Tuesday.  That gave Christy 8 days to get him used to the hose, used to the water, and some pressure from the spray as we’ll have to keep him clean until he’s healed.  So here’s day two.  Simply trust and respect.  It’s a joy to watch the two of them together.
