what is bothering your horse. To extinguish the behavior, (or prevent it in the first place), we can work to make our horse feel successful, reward all good behavior, give him something fun and interesting to do. We can provide a more natural living environment, room for playful movement, free choice hay or grass, and social interaction. Horses need to live like horses as naturally as possible. Spending undemanding time with your horse will help sooth his nerves. Hand grazing, belly scratches, and hanging out quietly together under a big shade tree works wonders for calming nerves in both the horse and you!
Your awareness always comes first before your application. Listen to your horse when he is not lowering his head, licking and chewing, blowing out, or yawning in your presence. You will know when he is happy because he will be reaching out to you, looking you in the eye, and showing you his playful personality; interacting with you in a friendly way.
Train your eye to recognize the difference between happy and stressed.
Think how you might help your horse live a more happy, stress free life by educating yourself about their true needs. Your horse will be grateful!
