So now I go to the field and when he comes over I offer the back of my hand as a hello. He answers by gently touching my hand with his nose at which point I will offer his treat from either hand. If he’s bolshy or doesn’t want to say hello that’s fine we continue without a treat. My hand can be high, low or to the side without him over stretching and it seems to work.

I love reading your insights. I’ve lost my nerve riding him but l have found this has now taken all pressure off us and we can have a much more relaxed ground work time together and all these little bits of advice and insights add up to give us a whole new view of horse ownership.

I so enjoyed your post about how to give (and how not to give) treats to one’s horse. It was very interesting! And how neat that your student had observed her horse’s ears and how even neater that this led you to writing what you did. Bravo to your student and bravo to you. Thank you!

Cheers,
Nancy Wenlock

I’d give them scratches, say how good they were and then give them a treat. Sometimes I went there just to watch them eat their hay and grain but there was a bond that I loved with them. Thank you for your topic and I will look forward on next Friday topic.

It’s never to late to learn something new.
