i noticed whenever the horse would get a little spooked over you swinging the rope ud pull it away and easier way to train a horse when it moves away just keep moving the rope towards it until it stops and relaxes if u pull the rope away every time the horse gets a little scared they will learn that spooking is ok but if u keep applying the pressure till the horse is relaxed then take it away he will learn wow if im calm and relaxed the scary rope goes away and he will learn to stay calm.
Yes, I use that method (desensitizing) on my horses when I am helping them get over their fears. In this session, I am teaching the horse to move from the pressure of the rope and so when he moves his feet I am immediately releasing the pressure (stop swinging the rope.) Be careful if you're only objective is to always keep your horse calm. Watch experienced trainers - the result is a calm horse, but along the way the horse is allowed to have emotions. You as the trainer stay calm.
Oh alright....i never had seen it done that way normally the way trainers would teach them is to walk towards the horse and make it move its feet i never seen it done that way with a rope lol...but a calm horse is key keeping it calm is a very important part of the training the horse can show its emotions but u wouldnt want a horse to show unwanted emotions like scared, pissy even u want the exercise to be a good experiance
This is in the Southern part of Georgia. Yes, I do most of my horse training in Wisconsin, at Saddle Ridge Stables, near Madison. I was on my way back from Florida (training that winter) so I was able to help a friend with this horse.
