Horse Training

When you first begin to led your horse you don't want to get runover. So here is an exercise to help with personal space. If your horse is crowding your space, stop walking, and let the horse run into you. Then back into your horse while flapping your hands and stomping your feet, which causes the horse to back out of your space. To help train your horse to stay out of your space is to let him bump you, understanding the horse was in your space. Once your horse is out of your space, led it forward. Walk a short distance, and repeat the process if your horse begins to crowd you again.

Ninety percent of horses don't lead correctly in that they lead with the human trailing along at their shoulders. These horses feel pushy and nervous because they have no leader present and need to fend for themselves. You want to be in charge of the horse, but be kind. If your aggresive and demand the horse to do a task at the exact moment then you have a problem. When the horse knows your angry then the horse is scared to do the task and refuses. If your calm then the horse will be.
