The Youngstock Update
Hello Again!
I have another major update for you, which is another step in fleshing out horses more! We now have images for foals (0-1) and youngstock (1-3), adult images are used for ages three years and older. Since youngstock is not trained under saddle until they are around three years of age, we have implemented “groundwork” until the age of three when they switch to the standard training. Here’s a rundown of the new mechanics:
Equipment
- Foals (0-1)
- Flymask
- Halter
- Blanket
- Rainsheet
- Flysheet
- Youngstock (1-3)
- All that foals get + leg wraps.
Training
- Groundwork - half-the gain of adult training
- leading and transitions
- in-hand walking
- footwork and balance
- manners and focus
- Once they reach the age of three they switch to the standard training ladder.
