Training Tip: Stay a Step Ahead of a Barn Sour Horse

One way to deter a barn sour horse from wanting to rush back to the barn is to come back to the barn from different directions or on different paths. In other words, try not to always come back to the barn from the same trail. Or, when you do come back to the barn, […]

Training Tip: Take the Halter off Safely

It’s a great habit to teach your horse to lower his head and then tip his head toward you when you’re haltering and unhaltering him. It’s an especially good habit when you’re turning your horse out and bringing him in. If his head is low and tipped toward you, it’s a submissive position and is […]

Training Tip: Are You Teaching Your Horse Bad Turnout Manners?

Most people lead their horse out to the pasture and once they reach the gate, they immediately take the halter off and let the horse walk away from them. It doesn’t […]
