Winning the trust of your horse.
This concept is neither begging your horse for performance with kisses
and candies nor is it beating him into submission. Believe me I have
seen both techniques applied by so called “horse trainers” and these
methods don’t work. Short term, perhaps, by some fluke they may produce
results but long term these techniques are damaging at best. Among many
reasons I believe this to be true is a concept I call flashbacks.
Flash- backs are exactly as they sound, a horse under pressure or in a
quick reaction situation will flash back to their base training and
react in the fashion in which they were originally taught or allowed to
behave.
Winning the trust of your horse is also not so much about dominance vs
submission as it is about leadership and a willing follower. With you
being the leader and your horse a willing follower. Willing is the
operative word in this concept and is crucial to the training process.
Creating this willingness is the first step. A horse that is willing
allows training to happen, even inviting it whereas a horse that has
been required to submit is only accepting what he must when he must.
Having said this understand that there are times your horse will need
to know where you and he are in the pecking order and that you are
ultimately above him when it must be said.
Put simply, horse training is a relationship developed over time
through the understanding and consistent, correct completion of tasks.
Sara Watkins once told me training horses is a lot like driving
somewhere (Kansas, she said) some ways are more direct than
others. Though I understood what she had said, over the years I
have come to really know what she meant. Using correct, consistent and
direct methods of training will certainly get you where you are going
faster.
