  • @RubyRox1100 or... you could just turn them off by pressing the CC button.

    Square halter. I've always used them without touble, ad are more convinient. They are also easier to put on. :)

  • if any one has the answer to this question please say so:

    in your opinon which halter is better a square halter or a rope halter

  • QUIT WITH THE WORDS ON THE SCREEN > WE CANT SEE U

  • if you go up behind a horse and touch them they can jump at the feel of you because they werent expecting it (even if you do call their name)

  • Signal and let the horse know you're coming. Use voice and eye contact before your approach. Read their mindset. Its polite as well. Approach off center. Flight or fight, if horses interpret danger. They dont ask question first.

    I am more comfortable approaching off center, one side or the other. Training both sides of your horse is good idea.

  • @:40

    Approaching squarely in front could be considered aggressive body language by a horse in certain situations. In the event the horse would rear, or lunge forward and rear, you would be directly in the path of the feet.

  • Its really fun!

    I ride english....

    I dont own one but i would LOVE to.

  • i have a question wat if your horse dont let him self but on the reins
