Looking Back

Isnt he gorgeous? This is Faron, an Andalusian stallion.
He lives at a stable called the Balingehof, [link] Its very well know in Holland. They treat problem horses and use very gentle training methods, for instance Natural Horsemanship and clicker training, to solve the problem behaviour.

John and Monya Erb run the stable and also organize workshops, like this one. The subject was how to use clicker training to learn your horse to rear, bow, give kisses etc.

The photo was taken in an artificially lit indoor arena so I had to use a flash to take the pictures. Some came out very nice, like this one. I only had to remove the flash in his pupil and adjust contrast a bit. And turn it to black and white. The dark background is original!
