Help With Horses

Hi Guys,

Sorry I haven't posted in a while I have been VERY busy. Anyway today I wanted to talk about some problems you might have with horses, and give some advice on them.

-Speedy Horse

If you are riding a speedy horse sit back. You might want to get very tense and worried, but horses can feel that, so instead sit back, take a deep breath, and relax. Another thing that people do is keep tight reins, you actually want to keep the reins loose, that will help the horse relax.

-Wont take the bit

If you have ever had a horse that throws his head and doesn't take a bit, you know how frustrating it can be. One thing you can do is bring you arm over their necks, this will usually keep them from throwing their heads. If you can't get the bridle on, and it's been a while, you can always grab a friend to help.

- Biting

Sometimes, horses will bite, for a lot of them they do it when they are scared, but some do it on a regular basis. First, you can't let you horse get away with it, is they lunge and snap, give them a little smack. It sounds kinda mean, but it's one way to get the message to them. You might also want to try to find out if it's something specific. Do they always snap when you brush their face? If so maybe they are face shy. Try to solve the problem

I hope this helped, until next time!
