The joy of training, understanding, communicating and riding your horse makes a unique way of enjoying life. There are lots of different ways to approach the training stages, so take the time to find the one that is right for you. Here at the K Bar C we have tried some aspect of all the training methods listed here. We usually combine various techniques of different methods depending on the personality of the horse we are working with. One of the first rules we apply to our horse training is that the horse must always understand what we are telling them to do. The more you learn from different techniques, the easier it is to find the best approach for you and your horse. Like the days of the Old West, you must spend time with your horse to make that unbreakable bond and friendship for life.
Whatever method you choose to learn to train your horse (before you buy books, DVD's or hire a trainer) check the Archives for Horses (written by Andy Curry with Super Stars of Horse Training) and our Library for Horses (written by professional horse trainers). These articles will help you with horse care, techniques & tips to really get a start on training and understanding your horses. The more you know the happier you and your horse will be.
