We get asked so often for tips on training horses that we decided to start this section. So what is the most important horse training tip? Which technique is best? The answer is NONE.
None you say? Yes, NONE. The reason we say there is no number one training technique is because it’s best for you if you stay open to a variety of training techniques. We do follow gentle horse training and prefer to create a bond between the rider and the horse because without that strong bond between the rider and the horse, your efforts to train your horse are sure to fail.
So first, it is important to build the bond between you and your horse. It’s important to consider the instinct of horses to be in a herd. There is a herd leader. This herd leader will remind the herd often that he is the leader and the rest of the herd will respect him as the leader.
What does this mean to you? When you’re developing your relationship with your horse, you become the herd leader. A successful herd leader earns the respect of the herd but not by fear and domination. Approach your horse with confidence as the herd leader also protects the herd from threats. Your actions will determine and set the mood for your horses action. If you approach with fear, your horse will pick up on that fear and not see you as a herd leader.
