From The Horses Point Of View

To truly understand a horses way of thinking we have to look at it from their point of view. I do not mean get on all fours and parade around like a horse. Just think of why your horse gave the reaction they did. Why did your horse stomp their foot or buck. Maybe because your horse didn't understand you.

Our horses are not on the same train of thought as we humans are. Their brains work differently. If they see a scary object they kick at it or run away. We probably wouldn't drop kick a gate and then run away screaming because it scared us. We would investigate it and figure out if it would hurt us.

Horses are just as curious but they have the mentality of a toddler. What they see as scary, isn't scary for us and this causes issues that sometimes horse people will try to cover up in hopes of the issue resolving on its own. But your horse won't just lose that fear unless you work with them on it and don't just beat your horse until they understand because thats wrong and creates even more problems.

Work with your horse fairly. Give them a chance to learn for themselves and give them guidance for a better outcome then the current one. Make them understand in a way that works for them and you. One thing that works for one, won't always work for another. If your horse is scared of tarps then give them an option go through it or go around. As they pass it without it jumping up and biting them they will get curious and they will investigate it on their own and find out that this big "scary" thing is harmless and they will walk over it eventually. Now some horses won't do that even if they are given an option but that doesn't mean that you beat them if they dont go over it.

I can promise you that at the basis of a great horse is great training and the greatest methods of training are in Natural Horsemanship. I use natural horsemanship and so do many other places...that's why our horses are great.

I get my horses point of view because I come to their level and understand them and find a way to make them understand me.

This is what the Corolla Horses see. A beautiful beach. But soon enough the other picture is all they will see...houses, houses, and more houses. Do you think that there point of view on the situation is yeah! Throw some more houses up and drive us from our land! I don't think that they really care about vacation homes or the price tag on them. Thier point of view is priceless.
