Breakout

Breaking in is a horse's first experience which makes it unquestionably essential. Establishing mutual trust is the essential element for the smooth running of the work and the success of the horse.

 

At Haras de la Chesnaye, we establish a mutual respect with the animal, an experienced staff will work with love and passion that are inherent to success. When breaking in, you have to know how to be firm and calm, without attacking, discouraging or traumatizing the horse. The process is done in a "two days in stages", the horse goes from boxing to the roundabout, between work of lunge and overeating in infrastructures guaranteeing safety. Then there is a work of mouth and work of coordination.

 

Once confidence established, the horse is operational and radically ready to take the next step.
