About this video

Sarah Fisher returns to work on Taz's self-confidence. His body language suggests he's nervous of his environment. Using a versatile zigzag exercise with raised poles, Sarah says "Taz crowds the handler which is a balance issue, and this will help to create separation". Walking over the poles in an 'S' shape, Taz has to pay attention to his feet and lengthen his frame. Sarah explains, "by unlocking one joint, you unlock all joints"! Adding new dimensions such as rubber matting, Taz's body language changes which indicates his levels of self-confidence. "The aim is to help him make his own appropriate decisions", says Sarah.

Kathyndogs 9 Jul 2011 Wonderful just wonderful! Thank you for reminding me that I need to proceed in very small progressive steps. From my view point, this exercise is so simple. But, Sara and you and Taz make it clear that this is not how he feels. Thank you for the insight. Break things down into the smallest possible pieces.
Marascalco 3 Jul 2011 GREAT video!!!! Love Sarah Fisher! After just one session with a horse using these types of exercises changes the relationship greatly! Horse Hero you rock!
cariad 30 Jun 2011 Wonderful insight into how training can be done slowly and progressively. Taz's every tiny emotion was very visible - this training is so gently and effective. Thank you for sharing this I can't wait for part two!!
ziggiewoo 28 Jun 2011 Great, wish everyone took this much care and attention to detail then we'd have very sweet calm horses.
