Pets are a massive part of our lives, and they can be anything from snakes to a horse. Although horses were once considered being a work animal rather than a pet, today they are seen more as pets. As with any pet that you own you have to understand fully the commitment that you are taking on, and how they will need training.
You will need to train any animal that you have in your life, for them to understand who is in charge, and how they have to behave. Smaller animals misbehaving can be controlled; however, larger pets such as a horse can become dangerous. If your horse decides to perform unacceptable behavior, you may be placing yourself and others at risk. Therefore, training the horse is essential, and will bring you closer together.
Horses are very large, powerful, intelligent animals that need to be treated with respect. The more respect that you give the horse the better they will respond to being trained. The younger you can begin the training the better, however, at any age the horse can be taken back to basics. Handling horses from an extremely young age is essential, to guarantee that they are used to humans.
Traditionally horses were wild animals and would have been in packs with very little contact with people. However, humans decided that this animal could be tamed, therefore, turning them into pets and work animals. As horses have evolved there are more in captivity than wild, however, as with all animals they never forget their natural instincts.
You need to train your horse with confidence and ensure that they understand what you asking of them. Violence, shouting, and cruelty should never be applied to any animal, including horses whilst training. If you are fortunate enough to have a foal the training will be easier, and they will respond far better.
Horses can be terribly stubborn, and if they do not want to do something, they typically will refuse to. However, if you can build up a bond with your horse, they will perform the task that you are asking of them through respect not fear. You will need to begin with the basics and ensure that your new pets are happy and contented.
The horse should be in excellent health, with healthy teeth, eyesight, hooves and overall body condition. One of the first things that you will need to do is halter break the horse, so that you can maneuver them easier. Once they are used to the halter, you can begin to lead them and teach the horse how to walk, trot and stop on command.
The training involved with a horse can take some time and a great deal of patience, however, the more ground work you are prepared to put in the larger the benefits will be. Every time you do more training with your horse, the greater the bond will be for both animal and owner. Training a horse is a continuous process that can be extremely rewarding.
Horses are perfect pets to own if you understand what you are taking on, and have the knowledge and expertise to provide them with everything they need. You and your horse should enjoy each other's company and the time you spend together will be immensely enjoyable.
