Preparing the Horse to Safely Tie

Tying a horse can quickly become dangerous without quality preparation in the horse's training. In this video, Sam discusses tips to assess how the horse responds to pressure, in order to diminish traumatic and dangerous behaviors such as pulling back. She uses two different horses as examples to help viewers see what a horse looks like when he is ready to be tied up and one that is defensive towards pressure and needs more preparation to safely tie.

Horsemanship: Misconceptions of the Circle by the Remote Horse Coach

Misconceptions of a Circle

One of the most misused "techniques" I have found is how people present asking the horse to move around a circle.
Whether it is for lunging, groundwork, riding one, or otherwise, rarely have I witnessed horses thinking and traveling around a circle in an intentional, soft manner.
Often there is a degree of "driving" energy from the human, along with containment via the lead rope, lunge line, reins, the rider's outside leg, etc.
