Trainer Andy Curry gives us this report:
How To Check If You’re In For A Fight Or A Surprise Before You Ride Your Horse
Danie Hewlett, a Reining Trainer and Reining Horse Judge, goes through a process to check a horse’s mindset and his “give” before she even gets on him.
Danie first lunges the horse by having him walk quietly around her.
When she says “Walk”, the horse walks. Not trot. Not lope. Walk.
When she says “canter” the horse canters.
And so on.
She’s strict in what she wants and you should be too because it makes your horse better.
Next, she’ll look for stiffness and soreness.
So when they lope off, they should do it easily.
This tells you if they do it freely where some horses will want to kick at you.
If they kick at you, that tells you they’re not in agreement with what you want.
After loping them off, you can see how they handle it. Some horses will fall out of lead when you speed up, some will throw their head out.
This just tells you where they’re at in their training.
Always remember, check the horse’s other side too.
And some other ground things Danie urges you to check are these.
One, have the horse walk a small circle around you.
Your more in his space. You want all four feet to move and you want him to stay soft in the face while doing it.

Next, push on him. Does he move sideways? If so, that’s good. Some horses try to kick, bite or run off. Watch out for the kicking or biting.
When you push on him, you want him to keep moving and moving sideways and then come back into the circle.
Next, check that you can pull both reins and if he backs up softly.
All this will tell you if you can take hold of his face, turn him in a circle, move him with your legs, and whether or not you’re in for a big fight or surprise when you’re on his back.
All these are crucial to safely and confidently riding a horse.

Please remember.
Check your horse before you get on to see if he’s gonna argue with you or not.
If he shows he won’t, that’s good.
If he shows he will, then you should fix that before you go for a ride.

Ok.. that’s it for now. As I type this we’re in the middle of a white-out. The wind is blowing 30 – 50 MPH and I can’t see the barn due to the blowing snow.
Be safe with your horses,
