Many people teach their horse that if they are rude enough, they will get a food reward. Unfortunately, you have inherited such a problem and are now left to figure out how to change your horse’s behaviour.
This is a chapter from my book, Old Men and Horses. The books (Old Men and Horses, and Changing The Tide) contain a series of short stories about my path to horsemanship under the guidance of two old men who were twin brothers, Walt and Amos.
If you need to get your horse home from a show and it won’t load into the trailer and you are running out of daylight, sometimes things don’t go according to the horse’s preferences.
