My horse game trick

The Trick guide is suited to adults or older teenagers who will have adult support during their training. They are all done from the ground. However, you will find that if you do ride that these activities will also help your horse to be calmer, more confident and focused when you are in the saddle.

The eBooks are created in the PDF format a very common file type. These can be opened on just about any computer, tablet or phone. We decided not to produce a hard copy for several reasons. There are lots of links to online training videos and activities so it works much better as an eBook. We also wanted to reach people in many parts of the world at a price they found affordable. To produce a hard copy and send it out would make the book very expensive and it would take weeks to reach some people.

Some folks save the eBooks to their computer and then print out the activities they want to work on. They can then write notes and ideas on them.

Others are happy just to read them on their mobile phone or tablet and find it handy because they can then take all the information and videos with them when they visit their horse. But if you want to use a different card, select the PayPal option at the checkout. We want to get this Trick Guide out to as many horse people as possible. That way we can introduce people to reward-based training and hope they will love it so much they will join our online Trick Training Club.

I Want the Trick Guide and Bonuses! Adding fun to your training Is your training fun? But most traditional horse training is boring! Trick training offers a unique and fun way to train your horse.

So, for example if she is moving about while you are trying to tighten the girth then you need to teach her to stand still really well. I like to teach my horses to stand on a mat — then they really understand the concept of staying in one place. If she tries to spin her head around to bite when you do up the girth, then teach her to stand still with her head facing forward.

For example rather than trying to do up the girth, could you spend lots of time just stroking her and scratching her in the girth area if she likes this. Show her that when your hand is around this area it is nice.

Next, rather than putting on a saddle, just try holding a nice light rope around her belly or use an elastic surcingle. Just make sure that she stands still, with her head forward and is relaxed and happy at each step before you move onto the next. If she is spinning around to kick then teach her something that makes her do the opposite. I started by dropping small bits of hay just inside the fence line for the bull.

This kept his back end away from me, taught him that I was a good thing and we slowly became friends. Could you have a small supply of hay or treats that your friends could drop in her paddock for her?

Or hand feed her across the fence? I hope this helps a bit. Your horse probably associates girths with riding and your friend and mum with work. Try walking her about a bit or hand grazing her with tack on. Yours Horse lover. My horse fidgeted a lot when I was tightening the girth. When I changed saddle, she stopped straight away.. I have taught to do a simple bow. After awhile I tried to teach him another trick but he will not stop doing the simple bow. So how do I stop him from doing it.

Hi Erin, This can happen if your horse enjoys doing the trick and they think they might get a reward if they just do it, even without being asked. We need to show our horses that they only get a reward if we ASK them to do the trick. Is there something I can do to catch her attention? Thanks in advance. She might need to learn that there are other things she can do with people.

You could try getting her attention by introducing her to interesting toys or objects. For example balls. Then try teaching her a very simple trick like touching the ball using her favorite treat.

Once she gets the idea she will become more and more keen to try this new training with you. I have an foal and he is 3 months old, and we are very connected from a month.

First 2 months his mother didint want me near them. But from a month we are very fine and well connected. I taught him kiss and come to me when i whistle. But he is beware still. I wonder when he will be confortable with me and when can i start to train well him? You want to build on that relationship but also let him know what is not allowed biting, kicking etc. It can be hard to find a good balance between teaching horses about good behavior and not scaring them or causing problems. For example I disagree with hitting a horse on the nose if they try to bite — that just makes them head shy.

It also depends on the horse. Not that I need to do this, he is a real gentleman and very well behaved. Other horses, like Bella, are sensitive and if I even growl at her she gets worried. If they need a bit more correction then I find that clapping my hands is effective. For example if there are certain situations where he likes to try and nip then teach him that he only gets a treat or pat if he turns his head away from you.

I just signed up to your Weekly Training tips! Also, how can I get a copy of your trick training booklet? So far she can copy my leg movement when I paw and step up onto a block just by me tapping it!

Hi Trigger and Jain! I have a 10 year old mare called Quimera. We currently do showjumping in 1. How can I start? Do you have any advice for the first session? This teaches them the basics of trick training and can be used to teach them lots of other tricks like kiss, hug and fetch.

I like to use a target. I have a 3 yr old mutt horse. I need a safe and easy way to break him. Can you help? I break everything down into small parts and only teach her in short session maximum of 10 minutes. I also use treats and a Marker a special sound or word to let her know she has done the right thing.

I spent ages getting her used to a saddle, firstly just asking her to touch it and then just holding it near her and then just putting it on and taking it straight off. Recently we have been going for long walks with the saddle on. I use a very lightweight comfortable saddle.

I have also practiced leaning across her and standing above her on a fence. All these things help to get her used to being ridden. She will back, turn and yield with just a tiny bit of pressure on the halter. You can do a LOT of work on the ground to prepare a horse to be ridden. Maybe someone tried to put a uncomfortable saddle on him or did up the girth too tight. Or he got a fright when first saddled.

Firstly get a vet to check your horse out to make sure there is no physical problems. He could have an issue that is causing him lots of pain. If the vet gives the go ahead then I would go right back to basics and start again, teaching him that saddles are good things. I would also teach him to be really responsive on the ground, walking forward, turning, backing etc. If he is super scared of being ridden in a saddle then he could be really dangerous to you and himself.

Sometimes a few lessons and advice from a good trainer can make a big difference. Good luck with the training. I gradually reduced the pressure on her neck and by the time she was about a year old, I only needed to place my shoulder under her neck and she would automatically perform hug. I just treated her the same as I always had and she knew me by the third time she saw me about 4 months after she saw me again.
