How To Use Smart Horse Training To Stop Your Horse From Bucking by Andy CurryIt can be enormously frightening to be on a bucking horse. If you're a novice rider, a bucking horse can almost force you to give up the "owning a horse" dream. But it doesn't have to be that way. I've read where people who can ride a bucking horse feel they're a good rider. That may be. But it doesn't mean they're good at training. And training is what we want to do. Preventing bucking begins when the horse is a...
•The Importance Of Habit And Repetition During Horse Training
The Importance Of Habit And Repetition During Horse Training by Andy CurryPicture this. You're out feeding your horse. You're petting her, talking to her, and admiring how beautiful she is. Suddenly, you get the urge to get on her and go for a ride. The only thing is, you don't feel like getting the saddle and bridle - so you just jump on...bareback. Now you're sitting on her. Her head is high, her ears are twitching, and she's wondering what's going on. It's boring just sitting on her. You...
•Why Difficulties In Horse Training A Good Thing
Why Difficulties In Horse Training A Good Thing by Andy CurryI'll never forget one of the first horses I trained by myself. I could not have picked a better horse to give me problems. This horse was slow to motivate. He was very much his own "person" so to speak and was going to do what he pleased...at least...that's how it seemed. There are plenty of horses in this world that will move when you want them to move. In fact, some horses can be so nervous it takes little effort to get them...

Horse Training: Who's Way Is The Right Way? by Andy Curry© 2004 Andy CurryAll Rights Reserved The more I listen to others, read books on the subject, look at different articles, and watch and listen to tapes, the more I discover how different people claim their methods of horse training are the correct ones. I often find one trainer will adamantly oppose a technique where another will adamantly swear by its effectiveness. Even more interesting, each has his or her own reasons why. On one...
•Horse Training For Napping Horses
Horse Training For Napping Horses by Andy Curry© 2004 Andy CurryAll Rights Reserved If you ever rode a horse that would stop and refuse to go forward then you would know how absolutely annoying it is. Why do they stop? Because that's their reaction to a worrisome or unpleasant situation. Even nervous and timid horses can stake themselves to the ground because they are apprehensive about leaving the herd or the barn. What other reasons are there for napping? One is the horse simply doesn't...
•Horse Training Voice Commands
Horse Training Voice Commands by Andy Curry© 2004 Andy CurryAll Rights Reserved To the uninitiated, voice commands for the horse are nothing more than words. But to the horse they are only sounds. Obviously, horses cannot speak our language. Since they cannot speak our language we should think through what we say to them when we want certain responses from them. Take the word "whoa" for instance. I have no doubt this is the most abused word in the human/horse language. When the rider says...
•Horse Training 101
Horse Training 101 by Andy Curry Horse training is an art. But it also has rules that govern how to work with and train a horse. For instance, when you're training a horse to do something, you don't want to drill him with it so much that he becomes sour on it and unwilling to do it next time. The trick is to get him doing what you ask, then asking him to do it a few more times, then stop asking. You can ask him to do it more for you the next day but you should stop asking for too much....
•Who's Fault Is It When The Horse Has A Bad Habit?
Who's Fault Is It When The Horse Has A Bad Habit? by Andy CurryPicture this. You go to pet your horse and he bites at you - and he does this constantly. Why? Here's another one. You timidly ride your horse hoping he won't get so spooked over the littlest thing this time. But sure enough, you ride past that same bush and you can feel your horse tense up fifty feet before you get to it. Not only that, he slows down before he gets to it. He swerves his body away from it and he's ready to jump...

Horse Training Secrets For Busy Horse Owners Short On Time
by: Andy Curry
Picture this. You're late for work one day. You look at your watch and notice you have about three minutes to feed your horse before you have to leave. Plus, it seems to worsen every day. You notice your life getting busier and you have little time, if any, to spend with your horse.

•How To Get Your Horse From Pulling Back While Tied
How To Get Your Horse From Pulling Back While Tied
by: Andy Curry
Some people have horses they don’t dare tie. Why? Because they break their halters and/or crossties. So what is a person to do in their horse training practices?
My first suggestion is to get a rope halter. But not just any ol’ rope halter. Get one of those rope halters that are thin because they cut into the horse’s poll more if they pull back. It sends a message to the horse that’s it’s not desirable to pull back....

How To Use Leading Your Horse To Get Control And Response
by: Andy Curry
I’ve been around many people who try to lead a horse by controlling their head with a lead rope. They end up pulling or jerking the lead rope and the horse will typically pull back or push around the person with the lead rope.
Ultimately, you want slack in the lead rope while leading your horse because you don’t want to pull or jerk him. If your horse moves incorrectly while leading him then you can stop and correct...

How To Install An Emergency Brake On Your Horse

Imagine being on a horse and he bolts. You pull those reins to slow him down but it’s no use. He resists and the fence posts go whizzing by you as you panic and pray he doesn’t shift his bodyweight and you fly off his back into a post.
It’s scary to be on a horse that runs on his own volition and can’t be slowed down. Many people will sell their horse because they’re so scared of that happening again. How do you keep a horse...

The other day, I was invited to see my friend’s new horse. He had her for about a month before I got to see her.

So my friend grabbed the halter and went after her.
