General Horse Information

Habit and Training

Horses are large and powerful!    Horses obey humans through habit and training. They don't know that they are bigger and stronger, or they would realize that they don't need to obey us.

When you handle a horse, you are either helping the training or hurting it.

If you always handle horses properly, using the same rewards and punishments they are used to, they will keep their training and remain obedient.

Poor handling by abuse, cruelty or spoiling, untrains horses and spoils their behavior.
