Does anyone have a favorite book/website or tips on training your mini for showmanship? I have shown showmanship but training a horse to do it, especially pivoting is a whole different ballgame!
I have never done Showmanship, but the experienced trainers seem to agree that it is indispensable. By the time I heard about it, I had so many bad habits with my ornery gelding that I gave up. I wish I had started out with it.
I have never done it, but I have seen some videos of the woman from Starpoint Miniature Horsemanship on You Tube and she looks pretty amazing to me. Google it and search around.
