The instructors at A.S.D. Club Ippico Euratom are qualified to train, prepare and provide corrective schooling for foals and young horses. The
young horse training programme in Angera
is developed progressively, from the first groundwork activities through breaking and ridden work, with attention to the various stages of growth and the horse’s level of preparation. The aim is to establish a sound foundation for future work, guiding the young horse through exercises that encourage familiarity with handling, tack and preparatory activities for ridden work. Each stage forms part of a programme that advances step by step, rather than focusing exclusively on the final result.
For horses destined for sporting activities, the programme can continue through competition preparation and participation in shows in classes reserved for young horses. In this way, the initial work and subsequent technical training form part of a single development programme.
From breaking in
Young horse training
Work with young horses begins with breaking and can progress to competition level. Before ridden work begins, the young horse is gradually accustomed to the presence of people, being led, the equipment used during activities and the requests it will encounter in the later stages of training.
Groundwork activities introduce signals and routines that provide a foundation for subsequent exercises, while longeing allows training to continue without rushing the transition to riding. As the horse progresses, tacking up and breaking in are introduced, leading to the development of a more complete training program. When the horse’s level and the chosen path allow, training can also be geared towards competition.
