She found her love of the Tennessee Walking Horses in the 1980's. Her farm was opened in 1988 on a 36 hectar parcel of land in Marshfield, Vermont. Her object is it to breed Walking Horses for all kind of riding and driving uses. Usually Dianne Lashoones has 20 to 25 horses, but not all of them are out of her breeding stallion. She also buys horses to train and then sell them.
Parking means that the horse stretches out the front legs to the front and the backlegs to behind.
The next step is grounddriving with the two longlines. The main part of the training is of course the riding and developing of the correct walk in all speeds. At first, the horses will only be ridden for 10 or 15 minutes. The green broken horses are going to be ridden outdoors most of the time since that is their natural element. The indoor training concentrates on the schooling of the gaits to make them really easy for the horse and rider.
