The Right Start for Young Horses
The traditional way is causing too much stress
And not only that, it can also lead to dangerous situations and injuries.
Because the traditional way of starting young horses doesn’t prepare them.
The traditional method relies on letting the horse ‘buck out the tension’, to make him tired or to distract him.
Which can lead to very stressful situations for your horse.
At this year’s TRT Live I’ll show how you can prepare your horse so he won’t feel stressed.

TRT Young Talent Competition
What are our young horses learning from their first experiences at a young horse competition?
The aim of the TRT Young Talent Competition is to optimally prepare young horses for a positive experience at their first show.
The tests have been designed to set up young horses for a long and healthy career in sport.
But also to give the riders the opportunity to have a different focus and to be rewarded for creating a positive experience for their horse in the ring.
During the event, I’ll explain what the set up is of the competition and why this is so important for young horses.
To develop and organize this competition, TRT method joined with the team from Pluvinel Young Talent Competition, a very popular yearly young horse show held in the Netherlands.
