Many people underestimate horse trainers and think that their job is slightly easy compared to other jobs. But I know that all the equestrians simply don’t agree with this fact because being a horse trainer requires a lot of characteristics that are hard to find. Horse training can be a lot of fun, but it also can be quite a challenge.
That’s because when we train our horses, even largely trained ones, each time we communicate with them. When you train and teach your horse something new, it means you have learned something new as well, and that is very satisfying. One of the most needed qualities you simply can’t do without is patience. It has been always a fundamental element while working with horses.
That’s because horses can react uniquely everytime we train them, therefore we have to be patient and take the right time to teach them new things. Despite these difficulties, horses are typically very calm and riding them is guaranteed to make you feel better. The video posted below is living proof that tolerance and patience will only give you positive outcomes while working with horses.
Even though the mustang from the video got a little scared at the beginning because he has never seen a man-made water box after the first attempt he managed to do a very good job. Kudos to his rider for doing such an incredible job and proving once again that what really matters is to be patient and gentle with your horse. Enjoy the beautiful video!
Delgado tried our new super scary water box last night. It has a piece of plywood inside that floats but has holes in it so the water shoots up through the holes when it is stepped on, which the horses don't expect. After Delgado figured out how it worked he was ok with it. It was interesting to see the wheels turning in their heads as the horses figured it out.
