Preface Section I: Round Penning Here’s your plan, step-by-step. Introduction Day One: “How Do I Start?” Day Two: “Come to Me” Day Three: Spook in Place Day Four: Sacking Out Day Five: Picking Up Feet Section II: Beyond the Round Pen More training to do at this point in your colt’s life Basic Ground Training How to Halter a Horse Here we specifically address halter breaking, but the running theme (“Give me your head, relax”) can be applied to many similar issues. Also covered to a lesser extent: Getting your horse to turn and face you in a pen or stall and head shyness. Teaching Your Horse to Lead A horse that leads well also respects your position as leader; you’ll find positive effects not only on the ground -- but in the saddle as well. Leading a Stubborn Horse Learn a quick fix for getting a horse moving again if he freezes up when being led -- with an eye toward lasting changes. Lungeing a Horse Lungeing your horse can offer great benefits, but you gotta use the time wisely. Here’s how, when and why. Manners & Vices Horses that Bite Biting is the worst vice your horse can have. It’s more dangerous than bucking, than rearing, than kicking -- more dangerous than anything else you can name. Here’s what to do. “I’m Scared of My Horse, Please Help” (The Intimidating Horse) Is your horse the boss of you? Turn things around by learning to spot the moments when your horse takes control. “Whoever Moves First Loses”(How to Get Respect) Here’s something you can do to take back (sustain, or solidify) your rightful spot as leader in your “herd of two.” Trailering Trailer-Training Your Horse Using the Round Pen Here’s a way to teach your horse to proactively load himself -- and to do so in a rather showy fashion. Tricks to Teach Teach a Horse to Side Pass Toward You on the Ground This trick, with its huge “wow” factor, is easy to teach! (And it’s great for horses that won’t stand at the mounting block.) Keeping a Horse Is My Horse Hard to Train... Because of His Feet? You might be in the round pen today -- but regardless of age or training level attained, quality hoof care is a must because the truth is always “no foot, no horse.” Books by This Author Meet the Author Read a Sample
