“When To Back Off Teaching Your Horse”
Let me ask you a question.
Have you ever sat down and tried to
learn something for so long that you
just had to quit before you went bonkers?
Why does that happen?
Because you can only take so much before
you gotta change your thought processes or
go crazy.
After all, too much is too much.
Now if we take that knowledge an apply
it to horses, we quickly understand they
need a break also.
Horses cannot process information like
a human can and therefore cannot be in a
learning, pressured environment for a long time.
Just like us, they need a break.
J.J. Rydberg says this:
‘When you teach your horse something
for a while, back off after a bit
and let him have control and feel
good by walking him around with a
loose rein.’
J.J. also said, and I totally agree,
‘A loose rein is very important.’

So when you get on your horse next, warm him
up for a few minutes.
Then start messin’ with him.
Look for what he needs help with that day.
If you’re doing circles and he’s not as good
on one side as the other, then work on the
‘not so good’ side.
Work him on it for while.
Then remember to back off and give him a
loose rein.
That’s the equivalent of us stopping what
we’re doing because our brains are
experiencing overload.
And by the way, if you haven’t seen J.J.’s video,
I invite you to mosey on over and read about it.
He reveals information every horse owner should know.

Ok… that’s it for today.
Work smart with your horses… and understand
their mindset and dispositions. Training goes
so much easier when you understand how they think!
That’s one of the most basic yet important things
to learn when training a horse. Jesse Beery knew
this and wrote a great deal about it in his
training course.
Stay safe,

P.S. Have you ever considered the value of a
well-trained horse? Or, have you ever considered
the risk you take by not having complete control?
For less than $100 and a little bit of time, you
can greatly reduce the risk of harm to yourself,
your horse and others around you while increasing
the overall value and enjoyment of your horse.
When you consider the cost of keeping a horse –
even for a month – that’s a pretty low price to
pay for the safety and overall enjoyment of
the horse you love…..
Tens of thousands of horse owners over the last
100 years have come to this conclusion.
