Horse Training -- Ground Manners

http://www.easyhorsetraining.com/horse-manners
Would you like to train your horse some ground manners? This course module is going to show you how to have a wonderfully well behaved horse in no-time flat.

Instilling appropriate ground manners is essential in horse training. First, positive attitude is very important. If you are in a bad mood, do not even think going near the round pen! Your horse will be able to pick up on that energy and it will interfere with your training.

With that being said, once you're in the right state, these lessons are going to teach you ground manners techniques that will make your horse training experience oh-so-enjoyable.

For example, a relaxed horse will be much easier to train, so you should always want the animal to be comfortable when working with it. For example, when the horse's head is lowered and the eyes are hooded, it indicates that the equine is generally at ease and composed. Otherwise, your horse is anxious and maybe fearful. If the latter is the case, take a step back and investigate why the animal is feeling that way.

In this lesson, you'll discover horse training secrets such as how to instill respect and dominance, how to get your horse to respect you both on the ground and in the saddle, how to establish yourself as the 'alpha' character in the relationship, and more about how to read the 'body language' of your horse so that you can communicate with ease.

@TheBumbleWolfFeist Lol, I train a kinda spooky pony about 13hh named Penny who I'm trying to train for the trail

I have a very stupid question: Why is it dangerous for the horse, if a person has the rope around their hand or arm? Isn't it only dangerous for the person?

Very nice video by the way, there are some great tips!

Well, I'm going to give it a shot. I trail ride a spooky, Belgian mare about 15 years old.

At 30 years old, and over 20 years working with horses, I'm still learning some of the basics that I didn't need to know with other horses. My mother has a bossy draft/paint mix, and I'm trying to retrain him in ground manners. He's sweet as alfalfa in the stall, and listens very well under the saddle. On a lead, he just pulls me, and I'm not that strong, so we go where he wants! I want to teach him not to, without hurting him in any way! Any like these are very much appreciated!
