Successful training can make the difference between your horse improving it’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:
Horse behaviors through genetics: 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.
Horse behaviors and personality: Certain breeds tend to have certain personalities that is why you’ll often hear the term “hot blooded breed” when referred to different types of breeds. One must remember though that each individual horse does have his own distinct personality like human beings.
Horse behaviors and the owner: 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.
Horse behaviors and the environment: 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.
Horse behaviors and training: Training is very important as good training can greatly improve your horse’s behavior while bad training can exaggerate a bad trait that already exists.
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.
