Lyla CansfieldYou get off, you look like you’ve done ten rounds with Tyson and you’re sweatier than your horse! And by the way this is supposed to be your hobby!!! A naughty horse can be anything from frustrating to down right dangerous so why do horses misbehave? And, more importantly what can we do about it?
Lyla CansfieldI don’t know about you but I think my horses have caused me to go through every emotion there is 😃🤪😤😭🤯🤬😱😂 One minute "I love my horse, she’s the best!" 💕 the next minute "My horse is driving me mad" 😈
Lyla CansfieldRiding or even leading a tense horse can feel like being with a ticking bomb, if anything happens you’ll be headed across the arena fast! 💣💥
Lyla CansfieldFor a lot of horses, once they've accepted going into the trailer they are quite happy to travel but for others, they really get scared once they are on the move and then it comes to the next time and they don't want to load again and cycle continues. So once our horse is on the box, we now need to take a good look and see if they are actually ready to travel...
Lyla CansfieldIn part 1 we looked at the basics of loading and in part 2 we looked at how to build your horses confidence on the lorry or trailer. But what about the horse that just doesn’t fancy going on? He’d just much rather stay where he is thanks. 🤔
Lyla CansfieldIf you’re an animal that needs to be able to run away from danger, it makes sense that you wouldn’t want to be restricted to somewhere that made this impossible....
