Dear Friend,

You have wanted a horse for years, but didnt have a place to keep it. Now you have the land and you want to buy a horse or maybe you have already bought the horse, you just dont know anything about training a horse. You dont know where to start and you dont want to hire a trainer because you want to be a big part of the training.

You are wondering if you have to go to school to learn to train a horse or do you learn from watching videos or even by just reading a book. Will a book tell you everything you need to know? For that matter will a video give you all the ins and outs of training a horse?

You know a little about riding, but those horses were already trained. You have never even been around an untrained horse. How hard can it be? You love animals and you love horses and horseback riding. You have plenty of room for a horse now. You talked to a trainer about training a horse, but he wont let you be there while he is training the horse. You really want to be in on the training. So the only solution you can think of is to train the horse yourself. You have to learn but you can do it. It shouldnt be that hard. You will have to do some reading up on the subject, maybe even several books and there are probably videos too you can watch.

So that is it you are going to find you a horse to buy. You about how much a horse will cost you. You know about how much it will cost to feed them for a year. Of course they need shots and checking out with a vet. You have even thought of that and know how much that will cost. When you called that vet to ask for advice, he said he would go with you to help you pick out the horse, so that you will get the right horse for you.

The only cost will be the cost of checking out the horse. He should be able to tell me if the horse is in good health before I buy it. Dont want to buy a horse that is going to run up a ton of money in vet charges. This will work out well. Of course there is still the matter of training a horse.

Training Your Own Horse...

You can learn how to teach your horse to back up, load on a trailer and how to be a good riding horse. If you have the time and the patience, you can train your own horse to be a good riding horse. The key to training your horse is to understanding how horses think.

How are you going to learn how horses think? Horses cant tell you what they think anymore that a dog or cat can tell you what they think. I dont have to hire a horse whisperer do I? So where do you find all of this information.
