SEVEN OAKS BLOG
Welcome to our Blog at SEVEN OAKS RANCH... The purpose of this Blog is to keep you informed of the events and life at Seven Oaks. We welcome your comments and hope that you will tell us something about you and your horse.
Every so often, I plan to post a tip which I think might be helpful to anyone owning a horse. It will remain here for a week or so and then move to the Tip Archives page. So if you have missed any or would like to see one again, they will all be there.
I hope you enjoy the tips and maybe find a few of them useful to apply to your relationship with your horse.

Three Woman One Camera
Endless Memories
Let me introduce us, we are three friends with the same passion, horses. We have now extended that passion to taking portrait photographs of horses.
We are in the beginning of this venture and have a great deal of things to do before it becomes a reality. A web page, pricing, samples, and of course, your input, all will be done in the next few weeks.
You will find several sample portraits on the east wall of the lounge. We would love your comments and sugesstions.

In our everyday working with our horses, we are consistently appluing pressure, asking them to do things for us. However, sometimes our timing gets off and we neglect to offer the reward to the horse quickly enough. Reward for the horse is the simple release of pressure from what you are asking of him as soon as you see progress. but timimg is so important. If you release too late, you have lost the positive reinforcement you are looking for.
I remember a rider in a show whose horse missed a lead. He did nothing in the ring, but after the class he took the horse behind some trailers and smacking the horse with a board. What could this horse possibly have learned? Nothing, except to fear his rider, and he surely would miss that lead again.
It doesn't matter if you are in the show ring or on the trail, the release of pressure must be instant, thus providing the reward for the horse.
