riding

2008-01-13T05:54:00.001-08:00

you sould probally ride your horse/pony 3 times a week to make him not bucky, and 4-7 times a week to acually make him a nice,pretty, and sweet pony.

Good horse movies:

Dreamer- sad but, funny
Water horse- not exactly a horse movie but, good
flica- my personal favorit
the black stallon- great in all ways
black beauty- old classic

Bucking off

2008-01-11T14:43:00.000-08:00

Make sure to keep a short rein so that he can't buck hard. He can still buck, just a light buck though, so still be aware!

hoof picking

2007-10-14T07:00:00.000-07:00

When it comes to hoof picking you should try to find a lot of time to do that because if a rock gets logged in there foot it could really hurt them.

leading

2007-10-13T06:23:00.000-07:00

When you are training your horse/pony to lead make it very, ovious lean all the way forward to make him/her go and lean very far backward to make him stop, and tell him/her that shes good alot to, by scraching behind her/his ears, or on his/her cheast.

cleaning

If a horse pee's on your barn floor and you dont want it to smell just put wood shaveings on it. If he poops just scoop into a bucket.

tight

If your horse bucks it might be because the saddle is to tight.

Horses need to have compony.Whether its goats, a child who sleeps with them, or another horse. They should always have company. we did my first horse when i was about 3 with goats. horses really love goats.

treats

2007-08-29T07:22:00.000-07:00

I belive that you should never, ever,ever give your horses treats it makes them nippy and agressive. I never gave grain, pepper mints, or treats to my horses or ponies. My dad once gave grain to a really nice bull that we had and preety soon it was humungs right in my dads face knoking him down for more treats we had to give that bull away! But, alot of horse owners are tempted but, try to resist the treats.

horse training

2007-08-29T07:05:00.000-07:00

This is what you do.Frist you gently talk to the horse in a soothing, calm voice until it looks like it feels calm. Then you get a steping stool and step up until the horses back is about at level with your hips. Then gently lean over the horse so it gets used to the wight on his/her back.Next put the saddle on his back. And put one foot in the sterup, tip, put all of your wight in it.Then swing your leg over and talk to him for a while. After that que him to move in to a walk, then trot, and so on.

Hint, to keep him/her from bucking push her/him on it is harder for them to buck while moving. If they stand on there hind legs then it is most likly your foult you were probaly etier pulling on the rains while queing him to go forwad.
