Welcome to our first bonus video of the OTTB Training Diaries! In this video, we focus on our Thoroughbred, Oscar (“Go Green”), and show the very first steps in teaching him how to combine leg, seat, and hand into what we like to call a “mini half halt.” This is a fantastic exercise when you’re limited to walking and trotting—due to weather, footing, working with a green horse, or other constraints. Join us as we guide Oscar in accepting these aids and watch how quickly he begins to understand and respond!
