reasons why your horse spins on hacks and how to address them

موقع أيام نيوز

of something that is highly likely to happen says Jo. This could be that your horse has spun at the same point on a hack a few times and maybe youve fallen off once or twice so you know it could happen again.
Its important to help the rider gain confidence and the ability to deal with the spinning and to give the horse supporttraining to stop the behaviour. Sometimes I would keep the horse and rider together to work through this but other times its necessary to separate them build confidence for both and then bring them back together if the situation is suitable.

Riders ability
Whether youve been riding for months or years theres always more to learn. And if youve never had a horse spin before it can be difficult to know how to handle it. Sometimes its necessary to ask another rider to hop on whether thats an experienced friend who knows the horse or a professional to see if that makes a difference to the horses behaviour.

By the point someone has come to me for help they usually have some information on whether the horse only spins with them or if they do it with every rider whos tried. If its not too dangerous for them and they feel safe enough then Ill ask them to show me the spinning problem so I can make an assessment explains Jo. Usually Ill move them into a safe environment off the roads and teach the rider how to deal with their horses reaction so they have the skillset they need.
If its more fundamental such as the rider easily loses their balance and therefore control wed do a training programme possibly on another horse to improve their stability and security in the saddle.
Not every rider wants to go back to riding a horse that spins even if the behaviour has been addressed by a professional and thats ok.
Separation anxiety

Whilst your horse may be spinning to get away from something theyre scared of equally they could be spinning to get back towards their friends.
If your horse is fearful of something they generally wont spin until they see that thing. If its separation anxiety then it might be as soon as you try to leave the yard. Their adrenaline will come up they may neigh back up and possibly try to turn around a few times which if successful can then lead into spinning explains Jo. If the root cause of
the spinning is separation anxiety then the spinning is more of a situation behaviour rather than a reaction to a specific stimulus or pain.
This can be one of the most difficult causes of spinning to deal with but it is possible with time patience and confidence.
Its very important that the person handling the horse isnt afraid of the behaviour highlights Jo. If separation anxiety is strong the horse can lose his ability to listen as hes focused on getting back to the herd which can make them very difficult to handle. So the person handling them must be able to cope with this and stay safe.
Jo suggests looking at the horses living arrangements first and foremost does your horse spend all their time with their best friend? Could you move them to a different herd or separate them before a ride so they dont see each other as you leave the yard?
Next its about taking incremental steps so your horse becomes accustomed to being away from their friend. Taking them on very short walks even without leaving the yard to start with as well as improving your relationship and bond so your horse looks to you in times of stress. But it can take a very long time to truly overcome and you may encounter setbacks.
Separation anxiety can be worse due to hormones triggered by seeing a horse thats similar to their best friend or triggered by fear. For example youve solved the separation anxiety coming out the yard but something spooks the horse later on the hack and they want to be back to the herd for safety says Jo. If this is what youre dealing with youll want to make sure your horse is very responsive to your aids and has good ground manners. Keep their brain busy and focused during training to distract them from their separation anxiety. You could also try hacking out with other horses who arent their best friend perhaps even from another yard if possible. It can be necessary and very helpful to change their herd situation.
