When you have your horse calm, connected and responsive, training is a breeze. Not only do you make great progress, your bond becomes closer and time spent together is more fun for both of you.
Strategies
Different Horsenalities™ have different needs, and when they are not met, it can lead to problems. It’s just like communication and understanding breakdowns between people – when you don’t know what the other person’s needs are, you make unintentional mistakes that are offensive, upsetting or frustrating in some way.
• Right-Brain Extroverts become fearful and impulsive
• Right-Brain Introverts become tense and withdrawn
• Left-Brain Introverts become annoyed and non-responsive
•Left-Brain Extrovert horses become resistant and argumentative
What’s really important to realize is that we are causing these behaviors because we aren’t conscious of what the horse really needs. Once we give them what they need, things change quickly and only then can we ask for what we want and expect a willing response.
Knowing your horse’s Horsenality will give you major clues as to what approach you need to take – do you need to start with strategies to get them calm, connected or more responsive first?
The more you understand the behavioral and psychological science of Horsenality, the more successful you will be with horses - any horse - no matter what your goal. It’s all about finding personal success in the relationship with your horse by putting the relationship first, which means putting the needs of your horse first. Great horsemen see and know the differences between horses and know that each horse is unique and has specific needs. One of the secrets to success is to give your horse what he or she needs before asking for what you want.
Your warm up is everything.
