Re: Ask a Horse Trainer

Let's see what we can stir up: Strap a halter on your horse and take a walk around the barn area. When you put the halter on, do you have to wrestle his head toward you or does the large muscle in his neck stay soft? Is he "just tolerating" you or is he standing politely? Be conscious of these things. Allowing these moments to compound is how we build monsters that chase us from the pen. If the little voice in you says "Hey,. I'm getting the cold shoulder" then do something about it. And, again, don't over-think this. It's just common sense. The change comes not so much from "how" you fix his thinking but "when" you fix it (right away). Do what it takes to get the horse to wake up and pay you the attention you're due (as the man or woman paying all the bills, for goodness sake). In these cases, it might be a matter of putting pressure on the lead till the horse relaxes his pull (away from you) then releasing and petting. Maybe it's a matter of clapping your hands and getting the horse to look at you with two eyes. Maybe the answer is to simply get the horse to practice backing up or disengaging his hips (by directing his head towards his hip).

Shipping Costs Too High? If you are purchasing 3 or more products, you might find that this system starts charging an arm and a leg for shipping. Nine out of ten times, shipping costs are accurate - but if you feel they're abnormally high, just send an email to me at kh@horsemanship101.com and let me know the situation. I combine shipping when possible and can drop the shipping charges in those cases to something more reasonable. close
