Retraining Horses

   
 



Probably one of the most challenging aspects of horse training is that of retraining horses that have developed dangerous/bad habits. In order to help a horse and handler work through the problems, a lot of time, patience, understanding and knowledge is required.

The good news is that a lot of the so called problem horses are really some of the most intelligent horses with the most potential. When we finally get the horses to realize that we know their language and how to use it, they will often come around and become great partners. Horses will forgive and develop tolerance if we are willing to handle them properly.

One of the most important steps in retraining a horse is to understand what may have been causing the unwanted behaviour. In knowing the cause we can help the owner remedy the situation through retraining and then develop a level of forgiveness in the horse.

Our “Retraining Program” will help you with some of the following problems:
  • Not willing to stand still in the cross ties

The time required to work with a horse could be difficult to determine and will depend on the horse and the circumstances related to the issue.
