Training Tip: Overcoming a Horse’s Ingrained Bucking Habit

Question: I bought my horse Hank, a 4-year-old Quarter Horse, last fall, and he had a good start. I was told he could be a little cinchy and he had bucked before but he “was honest about it.” I found that he had some holes in his training—he was not soft enough, was a little […]

Learn How to Handle a Horse That Stops and Rolls on the Ground During a Ride

A horse that lies down and rolls while you’re riding him is very dangerous. “If you’re not quick enough to get out of the saddle, he can crush you and seriously injure you,” Clinton warns. Horses most often lie down during rides when they get hot and sweaty and want to roll in the sand […]

More than likely, you’ve been on a trail ride with a pinny-eared horse that snakes his head around to bite others or tries to lash out with his hind legs.

Training Tip: Advice for Dealing With a Runaway Horse

Question: My horse bolts. Anything could set him off. A bird flew out of the tree, the neighbor’s donkeys ran down the hill, or another horse in the group kicked a log. The Method reduced his bolting by 80 percent, but I still have the issue when we come upon anything that’s new or happens […]

Training Tip: Why You Should Practice the Cowboy Curtain Obstacle With Your Horse

When thinking of obstacles to introduce to your horse so that he’s prepared to negotiate them when you’re on the trail, you’ve probably covered the obvious ones: water, bridges, hills and gullies.

Help for Cinchy and Cold-Backed Horses

A “cinchy” or “cold-backed” horse has a tendency to overreact and possibly buck when pressure is applied around his belly or flank area.
