If you have been riding for any length of time, you will have seen it. A rider is struggling with her headstrong horse, and the coach steps up and suggests trying a stronger bit.

Posted by Basic Horse Training on February 28th, 2010
How to train a horse is something that will begin from birth. Most horses might not be handled at birth or even until they are ready to be trained to saddle but from birth they will learn all about the world around them.

This can be avoided by establishing and maintaining a personal space bubble.
