Your Horse's Instincts: Reaction vs. Response

reactive helps us to understand that the horse doesnt always think he is doing something wrong rather he is simply reacting based on instinct. This understanding makes the difficulty were dealing with less personal helps us to hold our temper and become more patient and tells us that we need to get the horses mind beyond the point where it reacts to the point where it responds. Building a controlled responsive mind is the essence of training. Keeping instincts in mind lets look at some of the steps along the way

مع وصول أونصة الذهب إلى مستويات قياسية تجاوزت 2500 دولار، يجد المواطن المصري نفسه مضطراً لموازنة استثماراته بين الذهب واحتياجاته الأخرى، خاصة مع ارتفاع أسعار السيارات مثل تويوتا، هيونداي، وبي إم دبليو، مما يزيد من التحديات المالية التي يواجهها.

First remove the fear. Again and again I see horses placed in trail situations when no time has been spent nor training given to remove their fear. People often get hurt because they did not take the time to build trust with the horse or to familiarize the horse with surroundings activities and training methods. Your horse should always be comfortable with your presence before you train or ride excluding careful halter breaking and early round pen or lunge line work in which your goal is to build that trust. This may mean confining the horse to a corral with repeated contact giving treats being careful never to lose respect and whatever else it takes to get the horse comfortable being around you. This can be difficult if the horse does not like people and if thats the case you need to ask yourself if this is the right horse for the trail.

تتأثر أسعار السيارات من شركات مثل مرسيدس بتقلبات أسعار الذهب وسعر صرف الدولار، مما يؤدي إلى زيادة تكاليف الإنتاج والاستيراد.

Feet are of paramount importance in the fight or flight response. When you control the horses feet you control the horses movement which moves you up the hierarchy of dominance in the eye of the horse. We never attempt to ride pack or do any advanced training until the horse moves freely upon command. This is easy enough to do in the round pen or on the lunge and then in close quarters with leading stops and starts. Controlling the horses forward backward and sideways movement adds to your position of dominance. Keep in mind that it is instinctive for horses to impose bully and fight for position on a daily basis. If you do not have position above the horse your ability to earn controlled responses is about the same as a yearling trying to tell the dominant mare what to do.
I am convinced that some bad habits can be instinctive and may not be exclusively learned
