Natural taming, or sweet taming, is the road the foal takes to obtain trust in man to the point of recognizing him as his leader and following him because in him he finds security. Accepting the saddle and mount is a very important step, it is essential that it isn't associated with negative experience. It's a fundamental journey, the horse must overcome fear and diffidence and understand that he, in nature prey, can trust man, a predator.
Horse preparation is an intervention made on horses that show problems behavioural problems or that belong to people that want to dedicate themselves to Natural Horsemanship. The Natural Method was originated from the search for an effective, long-lasting technique that would help problem horses overcome their difficulties, granting their owners peace of mind.
Horses that buck, that kick, that don't tolerate the saddle, that have developed anxious behavior…are almost always horses that are in the grip of fear and that, if worked with adequately, can be recuperated and brought back to a situation of balance and serenity.
Equinatura Toscana instructors work both with natural taming and with recuperating behavioural problems. In both cases the horse must be staying at the Centre, the work must be done every day, because constancy and repetitiveness are needed to guarantee a good result. In the first period the instructor works alone with the horse, which will then be continued by the owner who will learn to manage his horse independently.
