Here's a good one many people don't know. When you go to feed your horses whistle loudly if you can. If you whistle a certain way and if you're consistent inrepparttar way you do it...then you can usually call horses in from an open field and they'll come a runnin'.

Want another tip? Try this.

Before you feed your horse, approach him and pet on his withers. Assuming you are standing on his left side poke your finger into his flank (aroundrepparttar 125800 rib/hip area). Hold it there. If he doesn't move, increaserepparttar 125801 pressure and hold it. If he doesn't move, increaserepparttar 125802 pressure even more and hold it. Repeat this process until he moves away fromrepparttar 125803 pressure.

When he moves reward him with a petting onrepparttar 125804 forehead. Do it a couple more times then repeat on his right side.

Doing this teachesrepparttar 125805 horse a couple things. First, it teaches him to move away from pressure. Since pressure is a tool we use to communicate withrepparttar 125806 horse, we want him to know how to move away from it.

Secondly, you are doing ground work of teaching your horse to move his hindquarters away from you. Thus, when you sit onrepparttar 125807 saddle and apply pressure with your boot in that same area, you have primed him to move away from that pressure - he moves his rear end away from your foot.

This is a tremendous tool to not only disengage a horse's hindquarters, it is also part of how to teach a horse to sidepass.

There are more "quick to do" horse training tips you can do. These are but a few examples of what you can accomplish even if you have just minutes a day.

Timely Fact #4:

The whip isrepparttar parent of stubborness, but gentleness wins obedience. There is no such thing as balkiness in a horse that is kindly treated, and that gets an occasional apple, potato or sugar from his master's hand.

Timely Fact #5:

When a hose is afraid or excited, quiet him by kind words and caress. An excited horse is practically crazy and to whip him is dangerous, foolish and cruel. I have known a single blow ofrepparttar 125799 whip to balk a spirited horse. Whipping a balky horse is barbarous and only increases balkiness.
