Horses: The Embedded Admiration of Training Dramatics

The idea that horses want to fight us and be aggressive is still a myth that lives on today and is the cause of many horse welfare issues.

We some horrific methods all over social media, from throwing saddles on horses without any preparation and letting them "buck it out" to chasing horses around round pens until they are ready to drop - all in the name of horsemanship😥

The Monty Roberts, Pat Parelli, Clinton Anderson type methods that still thrive out there, despite the evidence showing how damaging they are to horse welfare, are a sad reflection of how "quick fixes" and "instant results" are more important to so many people than actually learning about how their horses work.

Learned helplessness is more appealing than confidence and partnership.

Dominance based actions are more appealing than patience and understanding.

People will still defend these brutal methods as a "necessary" part of training horses claiming they need to "shown whose boss" - a one way communication system that is only understood by one side.

Through the science of behavior, we should know better and be open to doing better.

Yes, it takes more time. Yes, it requires patience. Yes, it requires education. Yes, it requires setting realistic expectations for your specific situation.

Surely our horses deserve to be understood and trained from their perspective - physically, mentally and emotionally.

Any other kind of horsemanship is not something to be proud of.
