Stress Free Horse Training:
How to use clicker training to habituate a horse to a scary object. Clicker training can be used to teach a horse many things in a pleasant low stress way. It can also be used to help a horse desensitize. The good thing about doing this at liberty is that the horse is desensitizing itself, motivated by the anticipated reward. Desensitizing can be a big test for your patience. If you take the horse through the paces too fast you risk that the opposite happens and the horse is now 'Sensitized' to the object, event, sound or whatever stimulus you are trying to desensitize it for. |
Stress Free Horse Training:
How to prepare an unbroke horse for stress free mounting. First time mounting a young horse shouldn't be a stressful event for the horse. There is absolutely no reason to 'break' a horse or 'sack' or 'sandbag' a horse, as with the right preparations they are more than willing to let you sit on their back. Done it many times this way and always got the same reaction from the horses, no matter if they were young and naive horses, older broodmares that had never been ridden, or horses that were formerly neglected/abused. |

Stress Free Horse Training:
How to teach an unbroke horse to stand still for the mounting block. Horse training should not be stressful to the horse. If the 'unbroke' horse learns to stand still for a mounting block it makes it less stressful when it comes time to mount. First time mounting I would want to have a handler on the ground that the horse trusts. Then, when the horse knows what to expect, we have to teach it to stand still for mounting without handler and without having to pull on the reins. This does not require a lot of training as you can see in the video. Do you want to see more videos like this? Let us know by liking it. |
