“TRT Method”Advent Calendar Box
Happy New year! Ok, so it might be a little late to still be saying that as February rapidly approaches… but seriously… to everyone… Happy New year! The month of December including Christmas and New Years was a total blur for us here in Hawaii. It was filled to the top with training activities, horse shows and of course holiday festivities. I love decorating the house, putting up the Christmas tree and putting twinkle lights everywhere. I do everything I can to dive head first into the holidays, knowing that it will all go whooshing by all too fast.
This year, I decided to do something a little different, something that added an extra spark of Christmas fun to the holidays. I wanted to keep the magic and anticipation of Christmas alive as long as i could. My idea? I purchased the TRT Advent Box. Yep, that’s right… BIG box, not just a calendar…but a huge box full of TRT goodies to open over the 12 days leading up to Christmas. It was a lot of fun and there were some really great items.
Here are a few highlights:
1.) A video about how to teach your horse to lay down. We’ve already started working on the first 3 steps. It’s coming along.
2.) TRT Socks. They are seriously my favorite riding socks too. The perfect slipperiness for sliding into tall boots, but not too tight and not to hot.
3.) TRT clapper. A favorite for playing with the horses
4.). All kinds of tasty treats from Cavalor. The horses in particular loved the coconut treats.
5.) Dressage Pro swag
Thank you to Tristan Tucker and the entire TRT team for putting together this really fun Advent Calendar Box.
If you aren’t familiar with the TRT Method I really encourage you to check it out at https://trtmethod.com. The TRT method is a series of ground work patterns and exercises to teach your horse to be confident and relaxed in all types of situations. It’s absolutely fabulous for all horses from nervous and spooky to young horses and every horse in between. He also has some great videos on doing ground work to lay the foundation for specific dressage movements and improving your under saddle riding. I used the TRT method when I was starting Izzie. It gave Izzie a solid foundation of confidence, respect and trust as we moved into riding and honestly everything we do together. It was both educational and fun for Izzie and I and really solidified our bond right from the beginning! It’s a fabulous program. I highly encourage everyone to check it out.
