Horses come in all shapes & sizes, ages & breeds. But there are 6 very common horse issues I see – regardless of age, breed or size!

And all of these issues cause MAJOR consequences for us as horse owners. So we need to help our horses to fix them.

What are these 6 major issues -and does your horse have one of these issues? Let’s get started!

1. The Slow Horse

Got a slow horse who sets out at snails pace? Even if you increase your energy then you’re dragging him and he still doesn’t speed up.

This horse is slow when you are leading them in hand, and can also be slow to move when you are riding them too!

2. The Fast Horse

Got a fast horse, who takes big steps when you are walking them in hand? And they are leaving you behind or walking across in front of you?

Or maybe when you are riding, they have a lot of excess energy which can be a LOT to deal with at times? How can you teach them to mirror your speed & slow down? how can you teach them to relax?

3. The Herd Bound Horse

Many horses find confidence when they are with their herd mates. When you take them away on their own… it all goes pear-shaped! Riding alone on a trail ride is something you NEVER do.

And even when you ask your horse to leave their paddock, and leave their friends – they immediately start to get worried? This is a really unsafe situation to be in.

4. The Hungry Horse

You want to build that connection with your horse – but NOTHING is more interesting to your horse than the grass they are trying desperately to eat!

What do you do if you are leading your horse with lead rope & they put their head down to try to eat grass every few steps? How are you meant to ask you horse to focus on you – when all they can think of is grass?

5. The Spooky Horse

Got a horse who spooks dramatically when a bird flies out of a tree? This is a fast way to lose confidence & end up in a dangerous situation. If you are on foot, you can get squashed or run over.

If you are riding, it’s easy to lose your balance after a sudden movement & fall off. Both are very dangerous situations.

6. The Pushy Horse

Finally we have the pushy horse. Do you struggle with a horse who walks into your personal space uninvited? Where you think one day they could knock you over?

Who is a tiny bit dangerous on the ground? And who you WISH had better manners & would respect your personal space more?

Which horse type is your horse?

First we need to be honest with ourselves & our horses. Does your horse first into one of these categories? Leave a comment below & let me know what situations you want to improve with your horse.

We need to go back to groundwork exercises for horses.
