Horse Bombproofing
Series 18

Here's another bombproofing exercise
you might wanna try.

Take a tarp and put it on the ground.
(You should buy a tough, durable one so your
horse won't puncture it, get it caught on his
feet and drag it around. That'd kill your
purpose because it'd likely scare the eye balls
outta him!)

Fold it such that it's approximately
a foot wide by however long it is.

Weight each end down so it doesn't
move much if it's breezy out or the horse
steps on it.

Now, simply walk your horse over it.
As you see him getting plenty comfortable with
it, go ahead and unfold the tarp to double its
width. Thus, now it's about two feet wide.

Repeat, working through your horse's
comfort zone. Remember, your horse needs
pushed just beyond his comfort zone to make
this work - but do it gradually. There's no
need to hurry!

Don't forget that some horses will
act like the tarp is a piece of cake where
others will act like it's the end of the
world if they attempt walking over it.

If your horse exhibits trouble with
the tarp, I'll tell you next time what to do.

Hint: I've already told you but it's
worth repeating.
