In every aspect of training, what you want to do must always be more important to your horse than whatever he wants to do. The only way you can ‘fix’ any problem is for your horse to think it’s more important to do what you want than whatever he wants. Your horse must concentrate wholly and solely on trying to work out exactly where you want him to go, the speed you want and the gait you want him to move in.

🐴 Too Many Horses Can’t Cope Due to bad handling and bad training, thousands of horses never reach their full potential. Many horses don’t make it past the ‘breaking in’ stage. Many others are ‘blown up’ by the use of too much pressure and too much force during their training. These days, trainers everywhere chase horses with flags, ropes and tarps.

Whenever you ride or work with your horse, he must concentrate on you and what you want. He should have one ear back ‘listening’ to you at all times. He should try his hardest to work out what you want him to do. If his concentration goes onto something flapping on the fence, it means he’s stopped thinking about you and what you want. And it means you’re no longer in control. Understanding this is one of the biggest breakthroughs you can make with your horse. That’s why it’s an integral part of

Every horse owner can take some feed, go to their horse and be nice to him. Everyone can rub their horse’s head and teach him it’s good to be with you.

Horses aren’t born with an urge to bite or kick or push over their handler. Horses learn these unwanted behaviours through inconsistent handling. They don’t suddenly start biting or kicking or pushing over you for no reason. There are a hundred little steps that lead to a horse learning these unwanted behaviours. To avoid teaching your horse undesirable behaviours, you must have strict rules and discipline every time you’re with your horse. You must always be definite about what you want your ho

Horse Training, It's Time For Change Horses should never be chased with flags and tarps or have their legs roped or be tied up to fight, or saddled up and let go to buck. Next time you see a horse bucking when saddled for the first time, pulling back at a post, kicking when his legs are roped or being chased in a round yard, please remember, if the horse was confident and relaxed and knew what was wanted, he wouldn’t put himself through such trauma.

I’ve seen many of the big name trainers working with horses and I don’t agree with much of what they do or what they say. I don’t agree with harassing horses with ropes and flags or letting horses buck with the saddle or roping their legs or chasing them around until they’re sweating and distressed.

Everyone looks for a magic fix to ‘cure’ their horse problems. Plenty of people will sell you a ‘magic’ halter, stick, lead rope, bit or some other contraption. None of them will really help.

Some trainers preach a rigid system of horse training where one size fits all. If things aren’t working out, these trainers say it’s because ‘your horse doesn’t respect you’, or ‘it’s in his breed’, he’s ‘claustrophobic”, he hasn’t been “desensitised’ or he has a ‘medical problem’. We’re told that horses have different personalities and you must ‘establish yourself as the leader’. Just because a famous trainer says something or does something, doesn’t mean it’s right.

🐴 Always aim for perfection but be happy with improvement At every stage of every horse’s education, you should always aim to improve. Even if you’re walking a circle, aim for a ‘perfect’ circle – where the horse walks the exact track you ask, at the exact speed you ask, with the exact bend you ask. This may sound easy but it’s actually very difficult. These ‘perfect’ circles are what I always aim for. Whether a horse has been ridden once or one thousand times, until he walks exactly where and

When someone tells me that a horse is wild or mad or unbreakable, or that a certain breed are buckers or kickers or fighters, I take absolutely no notice. However, I always listen to every horse. Some horses tell me that they’ve been frightened and have been taught to kick and buck and fight. Others tell me they’ve been well handled and they are relaxed and confident with people. Either way, it’s just what they’ve been taught. | Fear-free Horse Training with Neil Davies

Some trainers say humans have a bubble around them that horses aren’t allowed into.

Every day, all over the world, horses are chased and harassed with tarps and flags. You see terrified horses puffing and dripping with sweat while trainers flap their tarps and flags. Eventually the horses stand because they’re physically and mentally exhausted. Don’t be fooled. These horses haven’t ‘submitted’ and they aren’t ‘desensitised’.

Here’s a scenario to ponder: A person who’s never even been near a horse before, attends his first riding lesson. The teacher says, "Welcome, we’ll start by putting you on a horse that bucks. Don’t worry, just work your way through it. We’ll teach you coping skills and tomorrow you can do it again. After a few lessons, you’ll see that bucking is harmless and nothing to worry about. Yes, you might fall off, but you’ll learn to cope and you’ll soon get used to it." Imagine the poor pupil if he did

Here’s some good news: You don’t have to flap anything around any horse in order to prepare him for a rustle in the bushes or a plastic bag blowing along the road or to be saddled for the first time. If you’ve built your horse’s confidence one step at a time and taught him to listen and try for you, he’ll always concentrate on you and what you want, even when he hears something rustling or when a plastic bag blows past.

Most horse people try to teach a horse to lead by standing in front of him and applying pressure on his head by pulling on the halter. Many trainers advocate the use of ‘special’ halters and contraptions to apply extra pressure on the horse’s head, nose and poll. They also advocate the use of a short stick – far too short to reach the horse's rear end. Therefore, the horse still doesn’t understand to move forward. To teach a horse to lead confidently and tie up confidently, pressure must be appl

Some trainers say that tying a horse up for a few hours will make him ‘quiet’ and ‘patient’ and will ‘teach him a lesson’ if he’s been ‘playing up’. This shows a complete misunderstanding of how horses think and learn. Horses don’t understand the concept of punishment. They can’t reason that what’s happening in the present has anything to do with how they behaved even a few seconds ago, let alone minutes or hours ago. And they certainly can’t reason that being tied up for a prolonged period has
