Horse Training Secrets Revealed - Part 2

HOW TO STABLE THE COLT WITHOUT TROUBLE

The next step will be, to get the horse into a stable or shed. This should be done as quietly as possible, so as not to excite any suspicion in the horse of any danger befalling him.

The best way to do this, is to lead a gentle horse into the stable first and hitch him, then quietly walk around the colt and let him go in of his own accord. It is almost impossible to get men, who have never practiced on this principle, to go slow and considerate enough about it. They do not know that in handling a wild horse, above all other things, is that good old adage true, that "haste makes waste;" that is, waste of time, for the gain of trouble and perplexity.

One wrong move may frighten your horse, and make him think it is necessary to escape at all hazards for the safety of his life, and thus make two hours work of a ten minutes job; and this would be all your own fault, and entirely unnecessary; for he will not run unless you run after him, and that would not be good policy, unless you knew that you could outrun him; or you will have to let him stop of his own accord after all. But he will not try to break away, unless you attempt to force him into measures.

If he does not see the way at once, and is a little fretful about going in, do not undertake to drive him, but give him a little less room outside, by gently closing in around him. Do not raise your arms, but let them hang at your side; for you might as well raise a club. The horse has never studied anatomy, and does not know but they will unhinge themselves and fly at him.

If he attempts to turn back, walk before him, but do not run; and if he gets past you, encircle him again in the same quiet manner, and he will soon find that you are not going to hurt him; and you can soon walk so close around him that he will go into the stable for more room, and to get farther from you.

The author then tells you what to do as soon as the horse is in and what you should make sure of so your horse can adapt to the initial confinement. If you'd like to know more then just download the book now. Buy the e-book today and receive 3 free bonuses with a 8 week guarantee!

Otherwise, tomorrow we’ll be looking at “How to Lead The Colt into the Stable and Hitch Him Without Having Him Pull on the Halter” and you'll find out how the author has "walked the colts into the stable...in less than a minute, after men had worked at them half an hour, trying to pull them in." Keen to find out how?

Keep a look out for the email with the link and I'll see you then.

Take care,
