I have this horse and I’m not sure what to do with her. She was never taught any boundaries or ever been disciplined. I’ve been trying to do respect exercises but she misinterpretes them as a signal of fear. I’m very confused as to what to do. I don’t want her to fear me but I want her to behave well also. Any suggestions would be extremely appreciated.

I tried this and my horse either moves toward me or just stands there… Anyone have suggestion?

hi! Mrs. Handrich if I may I would like to give some advice. I also had that problem with my stallion too. I was working with him almost every day and he began to resent coming to me because he associated me with work. so I just a couple of times would walk up to him with the halter and lead and just rub him and love him to death then I would walk away. I also just a few times walked up to him with the halter and lead and I gave him a treat and would walk away. see the more you ignore the horse the more they want to be with you. like when you fix the fence and you’re ignoring them you couldn’t beat them off with a stick! haha! so maybe try that! hope that was helpful and hope that works for you!! and also try out Clinton Anderson’s website http://www.downunderhorsemanship.com or http://www.clintonanderson.net!! thanks!!

I’m not getting any help from nobody I’ve been asking for help with my 17 year old Tennessee walker. When i got him he’d come up to me. I’m not sure where i went wrong with him. he no longer comes to me i have to chase him just to get him to come to me. i had to take apart my calfs pen in order to put it down here for him. I’m just not sure how to go about this horse

Personal space is so important. And respect. With a stallion it’s even more a continuing lesson but well worth the rewards!

The respect issue is a real thing just like Mr. Anderson stated. Ive been around new owners,w/older horses or freshly broken horses. You must have that respect,or it simply will go sour quickly, ive seen owners take horses to auction because they couldnt handle what they initially bought. One was a very close relative and it hurt, turned very bitter in the end. If your scared or fearful in certain areas as a 2 legged animal,be carefull what kind of 4 legged animal you purchase.
Mr. A is right on the money,its about the pecking order,one must establish his rank,after all you will be asking this 1000lb. animal to haul you around. Only an old plug will do this w/out respect. i work w/Arabs, definitly a 50/50 contract.
One thing i feel he left out…over fed,under worked, a recipe for trouble.

I found this article helpful. I am a new horse owner and could already see how I need to teach my horse to respect me. This article showed mr how to begin implementing it in the correct fashion. Thank you!
