LEARNING GAMES TO PLAY WITH YOUR HORSE

Breaking ground with trust makes gaining respect a smoother transition. Soon your young horse will join up with you and follow you anywhere.

Learning Trust
2-year-old, Medicine Hat learns trust	Teach him to trust you by sacking him out, touch him everywhere until he is calm to your touch. This may take several tries or could be accomplished in one 20 minute session. Back to Top

Learning Respect
Smuggler learns Respect	Taking control of a horse doesn't mean bullying him, it means not accepting his bullying. Earn respect by using horse language to promote that you are leader quality and test him until he accepts you as the leader. Typically horses feel safer when someone else is leading. So make your horse feel safe and become confident with gentleness. Back to Top
