Training Tip: Have a Plan for When Your Horse Spooks
From time to time, your horse is going to spook at objects on the trail.

The final trip went smoothly, and […]
How well your horse leads says a lot about his training.

Horses don’t magically know how to lead, though, so it’s important to spend time teaching them. […]
