Friends of Sound Horses-Visten Project
FOSH Partners with Imagine A Horse
(02-09-2009)) Friends of Sound Horses (FOSH) is excited to announce its partnership with Sue De Laurentis of Imagine A Horse in the “Visten Project”. FOSH is a national leader in the promotion of natural, sound, gaited horses and in the fight against abuse and soring of Tennessee Walking Horses.~ Imagine A Horse is a revolutionary method of using modern Trick Horse Training and Equine Agility as a basis for creating the Ultimate Companion Horse. Visten is a registered yearling Tennessee Walking Horse colt that was rescued from a neglectful situation. The colt will begin his education at Imagine A Horse in Dripping Springs, Texas and his new life will be chronicled as a model to showcase the intelligence, versatility and trainability of the naturally gaited horse. Through Visten FOSH hopes to demonstrate the individuality, heart and soul of the naturally gaited horse in its efforts to eradicate soring. In addition to his mental and emotional development, emphasis will be on his long term physical welfare as he will not be started under saddle until four years of age or when he reaches physical maturity. Visten's life and education will be chronicled in the official FOSH magazine, the Sound Advocate. Downloadable training film clips, DVDs and other materials will be available at the FOSH website and the Imagine a Horse website. It is the proven philosophy of Imagine A Horse that Enlightened Trick Horse Training is a basis for enhancing the intelligence and willingness of a companion horse long before under saddle work begins at physical maturity. Horse owners can realize the unlimited potential of their own horses with creative activities that engage the horses interest while creating reliability, safety and two-way communication skills. Such training provides many hours of satisfactory interaction for an owner with her horse before he is physically mature enough for under saddle work. Although De Laurentis has agreed to donate a significant portion of the year long training costs for the project additional sponsorship through donations are welcomed to help defray veterinary care, promotional appearances and board costs. FOSH is a 501 C-3 organization and donations for the Visten Project can be made below, at www.imagineahorse.com or designated through the FOSH web site at www.fosh.info, (Please designate Visten when making donations).
