To build your horse’s confidence, start with groundwork exercises like leading and lunging to help them learn to trust your cues. Introduce new experiences gradually, allowing them to explore at their own pace, and always offer plenty of encouragement. Consistency in routines for feeding, grooming, and riding can also help them feel secure. Lastly, celebrate small victories with praise or treats when they overcome their fears. These positive experiences will reinforce their confidence and encourage them to try new things in the future!

It’s the shortest way. I guess maybe it was the right thing to do according tto this guy.

I’m not going to take bonding tips from someone who clearly doesn’t know the basics of horse care.

I thought she looked quite skinny also and my horse @I have a great bonding and I don’t feel I need to walk under her to proof that…she trusts me and visevirsa……

I believe that it is all about trust and respect from both sides.

She is very relaxed around him and he is obviously trying to get some meat on her . She is a Tennessee walker x which is a very docile and well tempered breed . I have 2. Spending time with your horse will give you confidencet and in return build the trust of your horse. Never try something you don’t feel comfortable doing . THANKS JOE ! For taking the time to share this video .

I can do this with my horse, but the older I get the more I think,”why take a chance of being hurt or worse.” It is not worth it to prove a romantic notion that your horse “loves” you and wouldn’t hurt you.
