Breaking Your Horse's Bad Habits

There are a lot of horses who fall somewhere between those two extremes. Their training – or lack of it – has produced distinct, habitual behavior problems.

Because they are living creatures with volition of their own, horses often do things we don't want them to – or refuse to do the things we want. If their misbehavior is repeated regularly it can be labeled a vice or bad habit.

Often a nuisance and occasionally dangerous, the horse with bad habits needs special handling. And that is what this book is about. Its aim is to help the reader develop a basic philosophy and a workable approach to breaking these bad habits. Simple and practical techniques are suggested that even a novice horse owner can use to accomplish this.
