Once you have established boundaries, you can begin to become your horse’s friend. Even in herds where there is a strongly dominant mare, you will see that many horses develop strong friendships with one another. In fact, dominant mares often choose a second-in-command to carry out her duties, so that she can enjoy the good life. Your horse needs to become your second in command. This means that while he must always obey you, he can also think for himself and act in the best interests of the herd. He gains a sense of self esteem that allows him to offer his best, and to trust in your decisions in a way that a complete subordinate cannot. A horse with a healthy sense of self is far more enjoyable as a companion than one who relies on you for everything he does. In fact, many low-ranking horses are timid in nature and are so busy avoiding abuse from the rest of the herd that they barely care for themselves. To create this bond, spend time with your horse in a low pressure environment. Go for walks with him around the property and let him graze on the rich grass. Spend time grooming him and find those itchy spots. Play games in the arena, chasing him and setting up small obstacles for him to go over. As your horse begins to learn your limits, and see you as a friend, you will find that he will trust you. Instead of trying to take things into his own hands, such as taking off when something spooks him, he will learn to turn to you for guidance. This process is impossible without having first established boundaries. If your horse feels that he can push you around, he will continue to try to establish dominance over you. If he is more of a timid sort, he will feel that you cannot be trusted in an emergency, and he will turn to his own defenses should anything go wrong. But with strong boundaries, and a well developed friendship, you wind up with a balanced relationship where you are the leader, and your horse is your happy second in command. After you feel like the relationship between you and horse is ready for the next step, you can start adding some work to the relationship. It is highly recommended to avoid horse training until you complete the bonding step and really feel like you are ready to move on. The problem is that if the horse isn’t ready for the next step it may result in undesirable behaviour and attitude, which is not acceptable if you are looking to develop a strong partner in horse competitions, shows and other events. The other factor is that it is always more challenging to “re-train” a horse, rather than begin training from the ground up. Applying these simple techniques will allow you to bond with your horse, which is a very important step before starting training or other horse activities.

The death of a pet can be as painful as losing a family member or a friend. If you have spent so many years with it and you have given it special attention and love, then both of you have already developed a special bond. Losing your pet means the possibility of losing that special relationship too.

Bearded dragon diet

The bearded dragon dietary needs may surprise you. Bearded dragons are omnivorous so they need both vegetables and insects for their food. The feeding necessities of your dragon will require your efforts in traveling to the pet store often to provide the proper nutrition. They should have a good variety of foods that may include crickets and finely chopped leafy greens. It is best to avoid too much iceburg lettuce and similar lettuces since they offer little nutritional value.

Bearded dragon facts

Bearded dragons are a popular reptile pet for owners who desire a reptile pet. They are native to Australia and live in arid rocky regions. With a triangular head and flat body they are omnivorous eaters enjoying both plants and insects. They are a docile animal and fairly easy to care for. In captivity they tend to do best when their diet includes a large amount of vegetables though they will eat about anything that gets in front of them.

Bearded dragons are a favorite in the pet world often due to their unusual looks. Bearded dragon pictures definitely give us the feeling of looking at an ancient creature and indeed this species of lizard looks a lot like the ferocious dragons of myth and folklore that we see in movies today. They have horns on their head and surrounding their jaw. It is not hard to imagine these horns growing to extreme proportions along with the dragon itself.

Bonding With Your Horse – Part 1 – Setting Boundaries

Article Source: http://www.articlesbase.com/ – Bonding With Your Horse – Part 1 – Setting Boundaries

Whether you are a natural horsemanship fanatic, or you prefer traditional methods, it is important to bond with your horse before pursuing advanced training. As herd animals, horses build a network of roles throughout their group. It is important that humans also become a part of that network, preferably in the role of lead mare. When first working with a new horse, it is important to take some time to get to know him. Spend some time grooming him, or working with him free in an arena or round pen. There are many different types of personalities in horses. Some are brave and dominant, others are shy and reserved. How you interact with your horse depends a great deal on his or her personality. Even so, no matter what personality type your horse is, it is essential that they see you as the dominant partner in your relationship. When working around a horse, you must set up boundaries. Take some time watching horses out in the fields to understand how this works. You will notice that while many horses are close friends, and will hang out together, they also have limits to what they will accept from their buddies. Often while grazing, horses maintain a space around themselves and will warn away any other horse who ventures to close. Likewise, should a horse become too pushy, they will respond with teeth bared or a cocked hind leg. This is how horses establish their boundaries. When handling your horse, you need to create similar boundaries. While some boundaries can be eased over time, with a new horse it is essential to make it 100% clear what you expect and what you will consider inappropriate. To keep yourself safe, you should always maintain a buffer space around you. This is a 2′ radius of open space that a horse is not permitted to push into without your permission. While you can approach more closely, your horse should not. If a horse is pushy and enters your space, you need to show him that he is crossing your boundaries. Often all that is needed is a verbal warning, or perhaps a physical shove away from yourself. This is especially important when leading. In addition to physical boundaries, you need to establish boundaries relating to behavior. The rules you set in the beginning of your relationship establish how things will work out in the long run. If you do not want your horse pawing while on the crossties, correct him. If you do not want him to kick out while you pick his feet, correct him. You need to establish yourself as the boss, and show your horse that he cannot push you around. This is true, no matter what your horse’s personality is like. Timid horses may require a gentler hand, while over-dominant horses might fare better with a loud voice and a solid smack. Either way, be sure to establish which behaviors are unacceptable from the beginning. It is much harder to break a habit that is formed, than to establish good behavior from day one.

Halter Train your Foal Part 2
By: Anita Lamb

About the Author
Hi my name is Anita and people are always asking me for tips on natural horsemanship training and what they should do to for the best. Visit me at http://www.horsetrainingwiz.com or http://www.horsetraining.blogspot.com (ArticlesBase SC #1242419)
Article Source: http://www.articlesbase.com/ – Halter Train your Foal Part 2

In part one we covered some bonding techniques to proper your foal for halter training, fit the halter gently, rubbing your foal as usual all the time. Chances are, it won’t even notice. Give your foal a day or two to get used to the halter before you move on to the lead, but keep up the playtime’s. When your foal seems comfortable with the halter on, try attaching the lead. Expect some resistance when your foal first discovers it can’t wander off whenever it likes! Safety is important – don’t let go of the lead, because you will teach the foal that it can get away by pulling. This is another reason why these early days are the best time to teach leading – when your foal is small enough you can keep a hold of it! Foals are delicate however, so there are a few safety rules to follow, and you certainly don’t want your foal to get hurt and associate leading with pain. If your foal rears up, raise your hand to keep the lead level with its head so you don’t injure its neck or risk tipping it over. If it pulls, don’t face it and pull back – your foal will see this as a confrontation! Turn your back to your foal, and use your spare hand to try and entice it forward with a toy or treat. Walk gently backward until your foal relaxes, and begins to walk forward with you. Always have your helper keep walking the mare forward as normal, heading where you plan to go without any fuss. Mom is one of your tools too – use the mare to help persuade your foal to do as you ask. Soon your foal will want to keep up anyway!When your foal has got the hang of it, and has realized that following on the lead is safe and fun, you can start to explore some new areas. With your mare and your helper, take some walks, and visit some of the obstacles you expect your foal to see later in life – water crossings, bridges, even leading in the dark. This is the easiest time for your foal to explore these potential obstacles! Natural horsemanship methods like these build on your horse’s natural desire for your company. If you resort to forcing your foal to follow you by wrapping lead ropes over its quarters, or chasing it forward, it will soon discover you aren’t that much fun to be around. A horse’s need for play is one of the three basic needs you use for natural horse training, along with safety and comfort. Foals are especially receptive to play, so now is the time to train your foal with fun!

The three categories of horses

Before buying a horse you should know what are horses all about? Which one is spirited, which once is calm? In the nut shell, what you need a horse for is the question that you should ask yourself before you actually do the buying. Once you’re clear about the breed then go ahead with the various horse classifieds.

Keeping your Horse Healthy

Prevention is better than a cure – or worse. If your horse contracts a cough, cold or ringworm, it can feel uncomfortable but strangles must be every horse owner’s nightmare. Using an effective cleansing agent can save vet’s bills and heartache and it can be incorporated into a simple, regular routine.

Nervous Horse Riders and how Self Hypnosis can help

Well if you first of all accept that horse riding is potentially a dangerous activity, you are more than half way there to understanding what’s going on inside your mind and body when you ride. Nature has been very clever in installing a small chip into our brains that is designed, amongst other things, to protect us if something life threatening is happening, or about to happen.

Most problems in long reining occur because the horse isn’t ready, the long reins have been introduced too fast, or the handler becomes too aggressive. If your horse is unhappy on the long reins, don’t try to force it.

There’s no doubt long reining has an important role in training – it is after all, where the horse first really learns about communication with the rider through the reins. Because communication with your horse’s head and mouth is going to be a fundamental part of its future as a riding horse, it’s important to get this early stage right. So where do you start?

In part 1 I cover some horse breaking techniques that are used in natural horsemanship training when working in a round pen. Now it’s time to ride. That’s right – you ride before you fit the bridle. All you need is a halter and lead, or you can attach two leads to the halter if you prefer (like reins). This time, bring a mounting block into the round pen, and introduce your horse to it. Saddle up, lean over your horse’s back, swing your leg over, and sit up.

Horse breaking with natural horsemanship starts in the round pen. Here you will establish your leadership, and begin to build a relationship of trust and respect. Your horse will come to recognize that you are a source of comfort, safety, and even fun.

Training thoroughbreds for the racetrack comes with very specific challenges – it’s different from training regular riding horses, and to many people outside of the industry it appears to be an assembly line producing a lot of wild and uncontrollable animals. In reality, thoroughbreds are trained carefully – but quickly – to do a specific job, and most of them do that job pretty well, whether or not they are fast.

Owning a new foal is exciting, but it’s a big responsibility right from day one. You can rely on your mare to teach some of the basics, but these impressionable first days are critical for teaching your foal the basics of good manners and safe handling.

Article Source: http://www.articlesbase.com/ – Horse Breaking Part 2

In part 1 I cover some horse breaking techniques that are used in natural horsemanship training when working in a round pen. Now it’s time to ride. That’s right – you ride before you fit the bridle. All you need is a halter and lead, or you can attach two leads to the halter if you prefer (like reins). This time, bring a mounting block into the round pen, and introduce your horse to it. Saddle up, lean over your horse’s back, swing your leg over, and sit up. With some horses, you will be able to do this in one session; with others, it might take several sessions over a few days, with you getting a little farther each time. When you are on board, and your horse is standing quietly, it’s time to move off! For the first experience of carrying a rider, you might like to have a helper in the center of the pen who can use natural horsemanship round pen techniques to help control your horse, but by now most horses will relaxed and ready to accept a rider. Encourage your horse forward with your voice, or your handler can drive the horse gently forward from the center of the pen. Let your horse choose the pace – it may need a little practice to find its balance – but encourage it to explore walk, trot, and canter with you on its back. Don’t use the lead rope(s) to control the speed or the direction – if it gets too fast, your handler should invite the horse to the center with body language. Otherwise, use your voice, your weight, and your patience to slow the horse down. To turn, don’t pull the horse around with the lead; instead push the horse by laying the lead against its neck, and by turning your body in the direction you want to go. Only when you can control the pace and the direction comfortably from the back or the horse, without a handler, are you ready to introduce a bridle. Again, your horse should be curious about any new item you bring into the pen, so let your horse check it out. Hold the bridle so your horse can put his head down to it, and encourage it to open its mouth by tickling its muzzle with the bit. If your horse is ready for the bridle, it will accept the bit without force, and you can go ahead and slip the bridle on. Now you are all tacked up, and riding your horse!

Nervous Horse Riders and how Self Hypnosis can help

Well if you first of all accept that horse riding is potentially a dangerous activity, you are more than half way there to understanding what’s going on inside your mind and body when you ride. Nature has been very clever in installing a small chip into our brains that is designed, amongst other things, to protect us if something life threatening is happening, or about to happen.

Most problems in long reining occur because the horse isn’t ready, the long reins have been introduced too fast, or the handler becomes too aggressive. If your horse is unhappy on the long reins, don’t try to force it.

There’s no doubt long reining has an important role in training – it is after all, where the horse first really learns about communication with the rider through the reins. Because communication with your horse’s head and mouth is going to be a fundamental part of its future as a riding horse, it’s important to get this early stage right. So where do you start?

Training thoroughbreds for the racetrack comes with very specific challenges – it’s different from training regular riding horses, and to many people outside of the industry it appears to be an assembly line producing a lot of wild and uncontrollable animals. In reality, thoroughbreds are trained carefully – but quickly – to do a specific job, and most of them do that job pretty well, whether or not they are fast.

Article Source: http://www.articlesbase.com/ – Halter Train your Foal Part 1

Normal 0 false false false EN-GB X-NONE X-NONE Owning a new foal is exciting, but it’s a big responsibility right from day one. You can rely on your mare to teach some of the basics, but these impressionable first days are critical for teaching your foal the basics of good manners and safe handling. One of the very first things you need to teach your foal is proper behavior on the lead. Good news is, this is an easy time to teach leading – much better than trying to train an older horse, and there are a lot of gentle, natural methods you can use. Natural horsemanship is all about using your horse’s natural instincts as tools for your training. With natural horsemanship, you don’t force or frighten your horse into doing anything; instead you use its own language and instincts to persuade and manipulate it. Foals have a lot of instincts you can use to get started with halter training. First of all, your foal will have a natural desire to follow – whether it’s Mom, or you, or another horse. Foals crave company, and they love attention. Plus, they are intensely curious. Make the most of this with some play time with your foal. Crouch down low, pick up a stone or some blades of grass, and play with them as if they were the most interesting things you’ve ever seen. Don’t look at your foal – rest assured, it will not be able to resist whatever you have found so fascinating and it will soon be creeping up to take a look! This is the time to reward it with a scratch (foals especially like to be scratched along their crest or under their neck) or a cuddle. Spend plenty of time rubbing your foal’s face and ears – this is the time to prevent problems later on by accustoming your foal to having its head handled. These playtimes are the foundations to your horse’s relationship with people – two short sessions each day are ideal. This is the perfect place to start with your halter training – simply spend time with your foal in the stable or the paddock, encouraging it to come up to you and follow you around, while its mother rests nearby. Whenever you take your mare and foal anywhere, have someone else lead your mare so you can walk near to your foal. This will get it used to moving round with you nearby, just as you have been doing with playtimes. When your foal is happy to approach you, and curious to see where you will take it next and follows you happily, now is the time to introduce the halter and lead. Bring your halter (or ‘foal slip’) into the stable with you, and play with your foal normally. Even if your foal is sleepy or lying down, simply kneel down and join it for a cuddle.

In part 1 I cover some horse breaking techniques that are used in natural horsemanship training when working in a round pen. Now it’s time to ride. That’s right – you ride before you fit the bridle.

Saddle up, lean over your horse’s back, swing your leg over, and sit up.

Training thoroughbreds for the racetrack comes with very specific challenges – it’s different from training regular riding horses, and to many people outside of the industry it appears to be an assembly line producing a lot of wild and uncontrollable animals. In reality, thoroughbreds are trained carefully – but quickly – to do a specific job, and most of them do that job pretty well, whether or not they are fast.
