A Few Horse Training Tips

A horse's behaviour is often good when it's with its owner but changes to assertive and threatening when approached by any other person. They have a tendency to need to bite and kick around strangers. Typically this may be accredited to a pony being tense and needing some training. There are 1 or 2 things which you can do which should solve this behaviour. First off get your mates Involved by having them at hand while you use some RELAXATION TECHNIQUES to change your horse's reaction to others.

Utilise a PRESSURE RELEASE TECHNIQUE on the lead rope to get your horse's head down. Put a finger in the corner of the horse's mouth where there are no teeth and briefly stroke their tongue. This causes the pony to immediately 'WORK THEIR MOUTH'. Customarily when they do this on their own, they are relaxing or submitting. When you STROKE THEIR TONGUE by putting a finger in the corner of a horse's mouth, the horse will begin to work their mouth as if they'd done it all by themselves. This can RELAX THEM ABSOLUTELY.

Another thing you can do is to BREATH INTO YOUR HORSE'S NOSE with your nose. It's what horses do to one another when greeting. Chew a mint gum before breathing into their nose, They love the mint scent. This method is a sign of friendship and can truly bond horses to us.

If your pony has a kicking problem when in a trailer, without going anywhere, try feeding all their meals to them in the trailer. They will begin to associate the trailer with being a good place to be. You may try keeping hay in the trailer when your horse is in transit, chewing causes relaxation. If the horse kicks in the trailer whilst you're driving, which can sometimes be dangerous, a suggestion is to safley brake unexpectedly.

This will always get your horse's attention as it will now have to work on using its feet to keep its balance rather than kicking the trailer.
