Starting a Quarter Horse filly

43

Roheryn is my new horse, a 2 & 1/2 -year old Quarter Horse filly. I chose her because I saw how smart and curious she was, I thought she could be a perfect match with my gelding Brego, and it worked perfectly well. I really wanted a mare for quite a long time, as my intent was to show all the steps I go through when I start a young horse.

• Name: Roheryn
• Breed: Quarter Horse
• Age: 2 & 1/2 year old
• Genre: filly

Starting a quarter horse | DAYS 1 & 2

On day 1, we received her at the Landry stables and I introduced Roheryn to Brego. We had a very short session to teach the basics: Backing Up and Lunging. On the day after, it was time to start real work, back to the Groundwork Fundamentals naturally, but I also started to prepare her for the saddle.
