If you are interested in teaching your inexperienced or young 4 years old horse to jump, stop, turn, etc, use a level arena or field with well-drained footing, and safe jump standards and poles made either from wood or PVC specially designed for jumps. Here are 6 tips that will help you train your horse better! I recommend applying them all so that training your horse is easier and more fun!

Tip 1: Work on confidence first. Build a good bond with him.

Tip 2: Take your time. Try to train without time pressure.

Tip 3: Make your goal specific. Establish a four-fold training schedule:

  • A schedule to make the horse get used to trailer loading, so you can drive to the destination
  • A schedule to make the horse get used to traffic
  • Working on the condition of your horse
  • Ensure the horse receives basic dressage training so he can carry you easily and you can ride safely

Tip 4: Put away your ego! Horses sense whether there is real contact or a “fake” contact driven by ego.

Tip 5: Have fun and let your horse have fun!

Tip 6: Listen to your horse. Try to open up to what the horse is trying to say to you. Does he/she roll with the eyes? Have you used too much pressure? Does he/she wag the tail for a moment? Practice observing your horse during training, so that you do not end up in the ‘I say and you do’ mode. Training is communication!
