Debunking Archaic Beliefs/Methods Used In The Equestrian Industry 'Cos We Can Do Better

Описание: Episode 12.
Listen in to hear my thoughts on some archaic beliefs and methods used in the equestrian industry that for the most part I think don't make any sense....
Let's face it...its 2021 and we can do better and be better for both ourselves and our horses :)
I'll be diving into sharing my opinion on the below:

Just get on and ride! Get back on the horse!
Show them who’s boss!
Move their feet!
Wet/sweaty saddle blankets will make them calm down!
Don’t feed your horse treats, they’ll turn into a monster
Using R+ doesn’t mean your horse wants to be with you, you’re just luring them
If your horse follows you it means they’re respectful, if they turn your bum to you it means they’re not
Bucking it out when saddling
They just need more miles!
More lunging! More working down!
You need years of experience to be able to work with a “difficult” horse
You can’t just learn good feel
You’re too soft with your horse
Your horse needs a job
They can’t just be a paddock ornament
Don’t let them get away with it!
Tie them up all day, that’ll teach them some manners
Tongue over the bit or chomping? Just tighten the noseband
Hold the lead rope tight at all times
Desensitising is bad!
If they bite you just hit them back!
Growl at them if they are playing up!
Negative reinforcement is bad
Rope halters are the best/the worst
Bits vs bitless
