I’d like to see the 4-H children
buy a foal or a yearling and
bring it up themselves,” said
John Glick, Expert Horse Train
er from Bareville. And John
should know about 4-Her’s and
horses He has two Silver Spurs
4-H Club members of his own
(Kandy 12 and Jimmy 9) and he
has trained many horses into
top performers Mrs. Glick joins
in all the horse activity also, to
make it a complete family affair.
Speaking about a child afford
ing a good blood-lined horse,
John continued, “The horse and
the child could learn together.
The way the horse is trained may
not be quite right but if they
learn together that horse will do
what the boy or girl wants it to.
“Start to train your young
yearling to respond to the hal
ter,” he said “Get him to walk,
jog and lope on the halter and
give him the commands Then as
he grows up, saddle him and put
a little bag of feed in the saddle
for weight By the time he is
tv o-years-old. he will be ready to
ride "
When you fL sr get imo the
saddle, Glick recommends using
a bogal bridle (one without a bit
m the mouth) “Turn him with
a regular pull rein,” John said.
“Then gradually stait laying the
opposite rein against his neck
and pressing your opposite leg
against his side at the same time
you pull him around. Soon he
will neck rein. You want a
horse that you can handle with
leg pressure and the bit,” he
said.
