Preparation and mental understanding of training:
Before training the horse, it is important to remember some important things. First of all, check the physical and mental state of the horse. This is very important. The veterinarian can be consulted. Accordingly, the health of the horse should be examined. Check for dental problems, back pain or any injuries on the leg. Because, it is not possible for a sick horse to train properly. It’ll be risky for the rider.
However, the horse training should be started only after learning about the age, nature and experience of the horse before starting training. But young and old, with the new horse you must first build a friendly relationship. This is very important. It will begin to trust the horse rider. If the horse’s trust is not gained, he will never easily obey your instructions and all training you provide them will eventually fail.
Primary Horse Training and Ground Work:
The first step in horse training is to teach horse control techniques from the ground. This is called “Ground Work”. It teaches the horse to walk in front of the rope, go back, bend and stop. Only if you train these strategies you can create a habit of obeying it. At this stage the rider is taught to touch the body of the horse. This preparation is very important before wearing a saddle. Through regular practice, the horse becomes attentive to the rider. The horse needs patient training. He has to move on step by step. If the rider is used rough, the horse can stop training without being scared. The main goal is to give the horse a positive experience during training. Remember that you have to gain his trust in the first step of the horse training.
Saddle fitting and appropriate use of the right materials:
You need to learn about to wear a saddle fitting training. It is very important to select the saddle according to the body of the horse. The wrong size saddle can cause pain by rubbing horseback. As a result, the horse will not allow you to ride on his back. So the horse’s back must check if he has a wound somewhere. Of course a light and fitting saddle and good quality garth (stomach belt) should be used. It is better to give a soft pad under the saddle, it makes the horse comfort. Bridle (horses on the face of the horse) and the reins should be properly placed. As a result, the horse will easily understand the instructions. Be careful when using these materials. Be careful so that the horse does not pull or he is not terrified. The horse needs to be slowly accustomed to these equipment. From the first day, it should not be fully imposed. He may be afraid.
Riding basic skills and physical balance:
When the horse is accustomed to wearing a saddle, the riding is to start the original training phase. It is very important for the rider to maintain the right posture and balance of the body. You have to calm down when riding a horse. Otherwise the horse may be surprised. The rider has to keep the back straight. Slowly the knee should bend the knee lightly and place the legs fixed in two stereaps and then the reins should be grabbed in two stems to guide the horse. In the beginning, only make them walk . Then gradually teach them Trot (light racing), canter (fast speed) etc. Many think the riding is just going forward. Not at all. In fact, stop, bend, and obey instructions – everything is a matter of horse training. The body’s signal, the speed of the hand and the pressure of the feet should be adjusted when giving each direction.
Various riding styles and advanced horse training steps:
Riding has multiple styles or disciplines. Among these are English Riding, Western Riding, Dresses, Show Jumping, Trail Riding. The rules and techniques of each style are different. And because of the difference, the horse has to train accordingly. Western riding is the easiest and most comfortable for newcomers. Its saddle is larger and it has the advantage of balance. When both horses and riders become proficient in early strategy, they can only be given advanced training – such as being tied up, maintaining certain speeds, responding immediately to the command. The training must be maintained and this is very important.
Conclusion:
Practice a horse for a certain time every day will create a rule in it. Horse behaviour should be kept in mind during training. If you see the horse feel annoyed or tired, let him rest for a while. You can also reward positively during horse training. You can easily train your horses. Reward them with treats,pats or preaise. This will increase your horses twice interested in learning. Loyalty to the fruitful rider will be created.
