| If I bought this horse he is green and i am assuming he knows the basics.He is 3.
Do you guys have training tips or books. This would obviously be new for me, yes I have experience and a trainer. :)What I know to do anything else: ground work, lunging, desensitizing, bending, transitions; he would be started slowly since I don't think he has been ridden much and he is 3.
EVERY TIME I RIDE: I'm proud to wear my helmet. If you're proud to wear yours too, put this in your signature. Every time I ride, I think of my horse before me, if you do to, copy and paste this into your signature! |

| Yup you should lunge a lot and work with verbal cues, transitions, sensitizing, desensitizing, lunging with the saddle on, and maybe the bridle, flexing-laterally and verically, backing(even improves fitness(ie: builds muscles!)), yielding to hand pressure(anywhere), and bonding.

| assuming he knows the basics i.e. walk,trot , canter, start him on a lunge line with a saddle on his back, then get him used to carrying weight on his back like gently leaning over his back , but make sure you do that with a trainer. after all that when you start to ride him teach him leg yield, shoulder in ,shoulder out and then build up from there
Copy and paste this if you have ever pushed a door that says pull!

| | well i trained my horse from when she was a baby, and your going to want to start with basic ground work (ie. lunging,ground manners ect.) then if he knows or once you get comfortable working with him, then start with basic riding exersises.
Dressage, its more then a sport, its a passion.when you sit in the saddle, and it feels like nothing else matters then you know your ment to be a horseback rider.
if you've ever ridden in pajamas with shoe's, fallen off a horse, jumped over jump just because you wanted, and spent the entire day cleaning your horse for the horse show, then you can call yourself a real horseback rider.:)

| If you're buying a 3 year old, I would start by getting a trainer. You want to start your horse out right.

| No offence, but if you have to ask this stuff on an internet forum, I don't think your ready. Maybe get an older, more experienced horse. Or a trainer.

| I have a trainer.
I just wanted to have some of your thoughts. I just wanted you guys to add some thoughts to my list, I already knew all of the stuff you mentioned.

If you have questions, ask your trainer. I personally would never go on the internet to look for help training my 3 year old.

| | well i dont think its dumb to ask someone their opioion so whatever...... but i would try reading some of Clinton Anderson's books or watching his tapes. I used his methods with my 3 yr. old and she turned out wonderfully! i would also make sure when you are riding your 3 year old to get her exposed to lots of things, 4-h would help in my opinon cause ur always around other horses and obstacles:)
