About twenty years ago, among equestrian sports enthusiasts, a movement arose that makes games the basis for human-horse relationships, the basis for its training and training. This helps to train the horse not through pain and coercion, but through a relationship of trust. Several games have been developed that create understanding between the horse and the person and help to train it, achieving excellent results without coercion and pain.
Instructions
Step 1
During this game, which can be called friendly, it is necessary, when passing by the horse, to unexpectedly create frightening situations for it, for example, suddenly touch it, or raise your hand, or clap your hands. In this case, the movements should be relaxed and calm, "fake", there should be a smile and a friendly expression on the face. It is important that the horse is not tied down at this point and is able to escape from what it considers to be a hazard. Gradually, she will get used to your actions, she will understand that you do not want to harm her. You can also place the saddle on it and then remove it. This will allow the horse to become accustomed to it and stand calmly when saddled.
Step 2
The pressure game will help train your horse to move in small spaces. The fact is that horses tend to resist if they are under pressure, and they also have an innate claustrophobia. This often creates transportation problems. If the horse resists when you push it, do not yield to it, push and insist on it. The main thing is that when the horse nevertheless moves in the right direction, you stop pressing and pushing it, let go and stroke the place that you influenced. The horse will understand that it was such a game, and will stop pushing and resisting.
Step 3
Another game helps teach the horse to walk in a straight line back and forth. To play it, send a snake along the line, increasing the amplitude until the halter begins to move. The horse will not like this and will try to retreat. Once she does, stop making waves and praise her so she knows she did the right thing.
Step 4
When playing these games, be sure to insist that the horse does what you want it to do. If you give in at least once, she will understand that you are weak, and will not respect and obey you. Be persistent, but gentle while playing, take the time to reach an understanding with her, and then you will get a great result.
