Are You Ready for Training Your Horse?

When it comes to being ready for training your horse, you probably fall into one of two categories.  The first one is filled with riders who genuinely believe they can do anything. And that they'll probably be successful.  The second is the riders who really weigh up every pros and cons before making a decision.  And they often second guess themselves or lack confidence in their abilities. This is especially true when it comes to actually working with their horse. And the fear is that they will somehow 'ruin' or 'untrain' their horse.  You Are Already Training Your Horse! However, I think that it is important to remember that you are ALWAYS training your horse. Which really makes the question of it you're ready for it, redundant! Each time you interact together, there is either the acceptance of the behaviour, or correction of the behaviour.  This is training. So, if we assume for a second that you are, right now, already training your horse, what can you begin doing today to help you get better results? This is the exact reason why, in riding schools or yards working with more inexperienced riders, the horses and ponies often need to be 're-tuned'.  Basically, more experienced and knowledgeable riders will regularly ride that horse and make sure that the basic fundamentals of the training are still in place and present. And this might be the very challenge, you're experiencing now – you don't have anyone to do the 're-tuning' for you.  It's just you and your horse – and you're doing all of the training.  And that can seem very daunting.  But it is 'doable'; if you are willing to follow a few simple guidelines that will help transform you from just a 'rider' (or a passenger), into your horse's trainer. And I believe that your attitude to this is what really decides if you're ready for training your horse – or not!
