How To Train Your Horse Properly

By Anne Hill


The reasons for horse training are many. Of course, all riders want their steed to listen to them and follow their directions. However, there are more, much deeper reasons to train your steed.

The main reason it's important to train your steed is as a safety measure. Steeds are large, full of power and strength. If out of control, steeds can cause a lot of damage to the rider. Yearly, tons of people are killed or hurt by horses. Your life could be saved with a bit of horse training.

Training your steed creates a lasting bond. It's important that you and your steed both trust and respect each other. Praising your steed when he does something right helps to build that trust and respect. Riding a steed with quality bridles for sale that listens to you because he loves you and has a bond with you is much better than riding a steed that listens out of fear.

With the right training you can learn your horse's disposition. Before he exhibits bad behavior, you'll be aware of what he is thinking and feeling and take appropriate steps. This is vital, not just so you stay safe, but also for the quality of life of your steed. He can't talk and tell you what is wrong. Having a relationship where you are almost intuitively aware of his needs will bring him much joy. A joyful steed makes a joyful rider.

A well taught steed has a higher monetary value than one that is untrained. Maybe you never want to sell your steed, but if you did, the new owner will be willing to pay a pretty penny for the ease of having an already trained horse. This will save the new owner both time and money. Even if you never sell your steed, though, teaching him will create such a great relationship for you both.

Educating your steed builds a foundation that can be built upon to learn more advanced learning. You can't expect a baby to run before she can walk. It is the same with a steed. If you want your steed to go to the next level, you must be certain he is starting out on the right foot. He must understand what you want and be under your full control before you can expect him to move one to a more advanced level.

For the most enjoyable riding experience, taking the time to train your steed is essential. Fighting for control all the time is a recipe for disaster and is physically and mentally draining draining for the rider and the steed. Horse training makes a better time for everyone.
