You too may schedule a home visit if you would like Bob to evaluate your horse, if you have unwanted behaviors on the ground or in the saddle or any other specific problem that is keeping you from having an amazing relationship with your horse.
To schedule a home visit, a fun seminar/demonstration or attend a clinic, contact Bob at 413-634-8800 or e-mail newenglandbob@aol.com

OCTOBER
Began With Bob Sadowski
Making Home Visits
Bob felt he could help more people by visiting their homes. On Saturday, October 4, he visited three homes. He taught a student how to teach her mare, Shiloh, to respectfully give inside turns and figure eights. Two days later, the student was pleased to report that Shiloh is a different horse, paying attention and willingly turning in.
On another home visit, Bob helped a student successfully teach her mare, Rosie, to side pass, back up with with no reins, speed up and slow down using body position and much more. Bob also taught the student's four-month-old foal to flex, yield hindquarters and do the "squeeze" game. What a head start!
At yet another home, Bob taught a young student how to be able to walk with her gelding, Buddy. Buddy would not lead. He also taught the student to teach Buddy how to take responsibility for not changing gait while she was seated. Buddy maintianed a walk, trot and canter with emotional collection for several laps on the circle.
Peace Haven Farm has been purchasing and taking in sound horses that need a home, but may need training. These are fine horses looking for either a good home or a sponsor to help them find a proper place in our human civilization. If you or someone you know is interested in helping these horses, please contact Bob @ 413-634-8800. See more at PeaceHavenFarm.com
