Training a Young Horse E-mail
Training - Starting

A young horse has been sent to Flugumýri for training.  Elisa Klose is using techniques she learned at Hólar, from which she has recently graduated. 

I put this video up so that experienced horse people can see how groundwork and suppling are used by one particular trainer.  It is not a How To, but rather a How Done.  But it does represent a progressive school of training that is being widely adopted in Iceland. 

 

 A foreign student at Hólar

Elisa Klose came from Germany to Iceland to learn about the Icelandic horses and had to take a crash course in Icelandic when she started Hólar College.  She tells us about what it was like to be a foreign student during her job at the farm, Flugumýri.

Very Interesting : Cerice
I would love to see some of the typical 'traditional' Icelandic styles of training since Elisa mentions how the horses are trained differently than she's used to.

Traditional training : Shirson : http://hestakaup.com
Cerice makes a good point. While there are many different kinds of "traditional" training, ground work, the round pen and suppling exercise such as Elisa is doing are relatively new in Iceland. A lot was done just by riding out on the trail. I'll take a look and see if I have any examples that I have not posted.

Nice to see the timing of the feet between the horse and trainer during the "in hand" work.
