Horse Tasks Teaching Problem Equine Behavior

 Too many people tend to hurry in life and often the same applies to their horsemanship.

The “task” often becomes the focal point, rather than the quality of communication. If the horse mostly “goes along” with what is asked, people tend to accept the behavior.

But without effective “tools” (I don’t mean gadgets, rather how a person uses pressure to communicate) they often wind up at the “mercy” of the horse or “surviving” the ride.

This creates a cycle of worry, fear, and insecurity in both humans and horses.

When the Horse Training Quits Working

 

What happens when the way in which we’re doing something with the horse quits working?

Maybe our current approach has been successful with previous horses. Maybe we have decades of horse handling experience and become stumped. Maybe we enrolled in a course, class, or clinic and previously saw immediate changes, tried to replicate it without the coach, and had it all fall apart.

Irrelevant of the individual scenario or case, in general, it creates an uneasiness, doubt, and often emotional triggers in the human when “it” quits or is no longer working.

Increasing Human Behaviors to Improve your Horsemanship

 

Assess yourself before you critique your horse.

When did your ride really start?

Your ride should begin when you THINK about going for a ride. Learning to raise your level of awareness that at every moment you are interacting with your horse (starting with when you catch him) or are even in close proximity, you are influencing the conversation, energy and focus for the upcoming ride.

Improving Horse Transitions- Mental and Physical

 

Most horses I meet fall into two categories:

*Fearful or defensive (tight, rigid movement) to go forward

*Hypersensitive and overreacting with fast, fleeing movement

Over various sessions here are some of what I look to address in re-educating the horse.

Equine Enthusiast Tips: Empathy + Horses 🚫= Weakness

 

There is a constant human imposition upon each other and horses...

Unrealistic ego-based demands without having accountability as to how a person's clarity of thoughts and intention, quality of communication, adaptability in energy, accuracy of timing, and everyday mindless interactions, are constantly "teaching" horses unwanted responses that people then criticize and chastise the equine for.
