Training Tip of the Week:
By Clinton Anderson
Put in the effort to understand how your horse thinks.
Before you can train a horse, you have to understand basic horse psychology and what makes your horse tick. When you understand how the horse processes his thoughts and why he does the things that he does, both good and bad, you will be able to accomplish anything. If you don’t understand how your horse’s brain works and why he reacts to certain situations the way that he does, then you will struggle with your horsemanship goals. Horsemanship isn’t always easy to do, but it will be easier to understand when you can identify what motivates your horse to act in a certain way. If you’ve ever lost your temper, cried, felt defeated or wanted to kill your horse because of the frustration you felt toward teaching him something – you’re completely normal. At some point in our lives, we’ve all been there. The best way to get rid of those feelings is to educate yourself. Frustration ends where your knowledge begins.
