Controlling Your Horse Without Being Abusive
If you’ve been around horses much and around other trainers, you’re
bound to hear some stories about how some trainers, mostly in the past,
would use some pretty abusive methods when training their horses.
The thing is though, methods used such as whipping or
other things to cause harm never accomplishes anything
positive. The horse will most likely end up being a real mess.
We NEVER, under any circumstances, suggest or support any
methods of training that are abusive.
I have witnessed folks trying to physically force a colt into
a horse trailer, completely against his will and resisting 100%
all the way. It wasn’t a pretty site. And the colt went
bananas and tore himself up as he thrashed.
I never want to see anything like that again.
However, we all hit brick walls when training at times and wonder
how to handle situations in the most efficient and effective way.
Sometimes there are things that are hard to teach and you need to
get the attention of the horse to reinforce the training.
Jesse Beery – in his 8 Volume Illustrated Course In Horse Training –
introduces the Pulley Breaking Bridle to be used for many situations.
The bridle is so simple, yet one of the most effective tools
in the whole course.
Throughout the book Beery describes how to use the bridle
to teach and cure such things as picking up their feet for shoeing,
teaching a horse to stand while mounting, teach it not to shy at
items, teaching it to back or to follow, and many other things.
The effectiveness, and the genius of this bridle, is centered around
applying very quick pressure behind the ears where there is an
exposed area of nerves. By making very short pulls on the pulley
bridle it applies pressure in that area and the horse stops
and pays attention.
It is quite amazing how well it works and many folks are still
surprised after using it, even though they have read all the
testimonials of others.
