Training of your horse will take some time and patience. In the beginning it will be more trail and error to find out at what distance and type of surface he performs better on.</p>
<p>Training of your horse is important if you want to work together on achieving anything. Whether it is for basic riding or more complicated events such as dressage, eventing or cutting. Training of your horse will go much more smoothly if your horse trusts you.</p>
<p>When training your horse, you need to take on the role of the heard leader. Instead of using scaring or forceful tactics you should rather use positive encouragement. When training to overcome fears, it will also encourage your confidence as a rider.</p>
<p>Training of your horse, requires understanding of how your horse reacts to it&#8217;s surroundings. Each horse is an individual and one cannot say exactly how long every training session should last, but everything from fifteen to twenty minutes twice daily should be sufficient. As time goes on and training progresses the sessions will become more formalized, with more specific goals in mind as well.</p>
<p>By teaching good ground manners from the start will make your horse a joy to own , while keeping yourself as safe as possible as well. Remember if training a young horse, that they can only learn a few steps at a time so try and focus on one thing at a time which will make it more successful in the long run.</p>
<p>The internet has unlocked many doors and no longer is it crucial to have a horse whisper or trainer employed. There are some great guides one could consider to get rid of some unwanted horse behavior and advise on how to go about the training of your horse and which mistakes to avoid.</p></div>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p></p><p>Successful training can make the difference between your horse improving it&#8217;s behavior or even worsening it. That is why the right horse training is essential.The way that a horse acts can be based on several different aspects:</p>
<p><strong>Horse behaviors through genetics:</strong> There is no doubt that genetics do play a role in how a horse acts, regardless of the environment the horse is in or who the owner is.</p>
<p><strong>Horse behaviors and personality:</strong> Certain breeds tend to have certain personalities that is why you&#8217;ll often hear the term &#8220;hot blooded breed&#8221; when referred to different types of breeds. One must remember though that each individual horse does have his own distinct personality like human beings.</p>
<p><img class="size-full wp-image-273 alignleft" title="michaelfriends" src="http://yorkgentlegiants.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/02/michaelfriends.jpg" alt="michaelfriends" width="239" height="239" /></p>
<p><strong>Horse behaviors and the owner:</strong> A horse sometimes tend to take on the owners temperament. A owner which talks loudly and acts nervous will usually have a nervous horse whereas a owner who is confident and calm can expect the same from their horse.</p>
<p><strong>Horse behaviors and the environment:</strong> When in a load, noisy and unfamiliar place like a show for example a horse would act more nervous than being in the training ring or stall. Some horses have been trained so well that they are so use to and not even aware of the noise anymore.</p>
<p><strong>Horse behaviors and training:</strong> Training is very important as good training can greatly improve your horse&#8217;s behavior while bad training can exaggerate a bad trait that already exists.</p>
<p>Although the relationship between horse and man are thousands of years old, we still keep on learning new things every day. By taking time to learn a little bit more about horse behavior and what the different types mean, you can have a better relationship with your horse.</p>
