When going to various equine events I see a lot of horses that are never taught patience.
I believe if your horse has not been taught patience that is a big hole in your program.
Patience isn’t about just standing tied. It about leading without dragging you around, it is about Standing tied, it is about standing while being mounted. It is about regulation of your horses gaits.
Once a horse learns to self regulate you have more control, it creates am easier learning environment, and a less stressful day for you both.
You must have patience when working with your horse, but you must also teach patience to your horse.
Over the next few days I will post various ways of developing patience with your horse both on the ground and in the saddle.
I would love more input from any and all of of you as to how you develop patience in your horses,
