Hi Folks,
Welcome to our web site.
Our goal for Imagine A Horse is to show everyone just how much fun we have at home with our own horses and to make it possible others to do likewise.
Our Photo Gallery will demonstrate what Imagine A Horse is all about.
It is MUCH more than merely teaching a trick to a horse... it is about creating an environment suitable for keeping a horse in a domestic situation that is happy and interested in learning and sharing human companionship.
Imagineahorse is a training discipline that is calculated to produce a true companion animal.

Enjoy our photos and yes, we would love to hear from you.

The following pictures will show you our schooling areas, specific for Trick Training, that we have created at the Red Horse Ranch.




















.

The fold back and see through gates creates a 15x15 schooling area.

Hasana and Gater demonstrated a Salute and a Sit Down simulteneously.




















.

This stall is kept bedded extra, extra deep in shavings for the comfort and safety of the horses in training.
Sue was practicing the Sit Down with Lady "C".




















.

Allen is shown here shaping Lady "C" 's Sit Down on the beanbag.

Gater rolled a ball around during an informal routine for guests at a ranch party.

"Getting High"!























.

This was a scene from the introduction to the Liberty Training dvd.























.

This is a trick Gater made up initially as an evasion from stepping off the pedestal. Now it is part of his repertoire of agility tricks.




















.

This 2 week-old foal is trying to reach the grass but her overly long legs prevent easy access, so she is learning how to assume the stance we call Obeisance. It is a perfectly natural pose that we use as a fundamental building block in Trick Training.




















.

Here Gater assumes the Obeisance pose in front of a pair of curious onlookers.




















.

An extreme version of the pose.

When executed as part of a ridden presentation that pose is sometimes also called a Circus Bow.




















.

Alyah & Hasana are full sisters and were part of the Imagineahorse show for several years.




















.

This photo was taken the very first day I ever asked Alyah to mount the multi-tiered pedestal under saddle. It shows how tricks taught at Liberty can mso easily morph into a mounted presentation.




















.

An example of two kinds of boldness--Hasan is shown doing a rearing pedestal mount and Alyah is standing her ground secure in her knowledge that Hasan will accurately place his feet on the pedestal.
