Bombproofing Your Horse
Series 14

Yesterday, I promised to talk about the
various problems you may encounter in the bomb-
proofing process and how to handle them.

A common problem is rearing.

If you've been with me these past years
you'd know my solutions for rearing.

But I'll say it again.

First, a horse rears because he simply
doesn't wanna move. Rearing is dangerous be-
cause he can come back over on top of you.

If the horse rears, DO NOT pull on the
reins. Doing so will only pull him over on top of
you.

Instead, lean forward if you can. If you
need to hold onto something, then grab the mane...but
don't pull back.

When the horse comes back down to the ground
then boot him forward. Do it the second his feet touch
the ground.

A great way to stop the horse rearing in the
first place is to drive him forward when you feel
him getting light in the front. The more swiftly
he goes forward the harder it is for him to rear.

But if your horse won't go forward, then
put him in a circle. It's STILL going forward albeit
in a straight line.

Sure the horse didn't go forward to where you
originally wanted him to, but he still did what you
wanted by going in a circle. In other words, you
got him to be obedient.

When moving your horse in a circle, increase
the pace. As he does, take him out of the circle and
drive him straight ahead.

If you sense him about to rear again, then
circle him again. It teaches him that rearing is
a no-no.

Do that enough and Mr. Horse will finally decide
that it's not worth it. Better to go forward than work
and work and work.

It's a great trick.

Talk to you manana.

P.S. It's a good habit for YOU to get into by saying
"Quit!" when your horse does something wrong. (Don't
say "No!" because it's too easily confused with "Whoa")
