Horse Training And Bombproofing #6

Bombproofing Your Horse
Series 6

Yesterday, I introduced series 5 in
our bombproofing information. (If you've
missed any of this crucial info, you can
read everything at my blog - the address
is below)

The next thing that's important in
teaching your horse is using repetition.

This is a major point discussed in my teles-
eminar. By the way, have you signed up for it yet?

Anyway, repetition is the key to fix
the impression of the lesson on the horse's
brain.

The first time you get your horse to
expand his comfort zone he'll likely be frightened.
He may rush through the object in question. He
just might think he was lucky to survive such
an ordeal.

But the catch is this. Even if you
did everything just right, he may not have it
fixed in his brain that the object was safe.


So the lesson is this.

You may think your horse is okay to
move on to the next thing, but the reality is
he may not think the obstacle or object is
totally safe....even if he seems to calmly
walk by it, over it, on it, or whatever.

What does that mean?

It means some horses will accept
walking over log and transfer that piece of
knowledge to walking over other logs. On the
other hand, some horses need educated over lots
of different logs to drive the point home - thus...
the value of repetition.

And once your horse feels safe to step
on, over, or by an object without punishment or
harm then he's more willing to try it again.

This is a big secret to obedience, by the
way. Each time the horse performs a little better
his confidence increases and his obedience level
expands.

Cool, huh?


Talk to you tomorrow.
