If you know horses well enough, you read for tips. There's not a right and wrong way to break a horse.
-
It's a good list, but there are a lot more details and exceptions, and it takes a lot of time and patience.

ahaha i don't see that going well for anybody :p

You should never just mount the horse you should lay over the saddle so that the horse gets use to the weight of you on their back as if they do have a fit you can easily slide off. Plus agree with the comments below do not try this if you have never done it before seek professional help! x

I'm wrking on a stud...hes coming out really good..

ok cool

Author forgot #11 - make sure hospital is nearby. You don't learn to train a horse out of a book. You learn from a trainer.

It is crap. Corrine isn't suggesting beating a horse. Instead she's accurately stating that training a horse (which isn't called "breaking" by good trainers) is NOT to be learned by using this overly simplistic and rushed list. A young horse will rarely buck if handled by an EXPERIENCED trainer. A beginner using this list is asking to get seriously hurt because the worst combination possible is a green horse & green rider.
-
never break a horse in out of a book etc, known people to do this and doing it wrong!
-
do any of you break horses?
-
I thought this sounded like good calm advise and a good starters guide, of course it all depends on your horse? if you have a calm horse things will go well if you have a jumpy or easily spooked horse it wont be so easy :) It does certainly not sound like crap as corrine seems to think, trust is key, NOT beating the horse into submission as some do, that's CRAP :)

Take it easy folks... I think this is meant as a very "general" guide. In general, dont you think this is "basically" the right order? Halter break, #3 could be translated into the fancy "imprinting" people refer too which is basically just- touch your horse all over with everything... #4 give to pressure,#5 introduce tack... #6 and 7 continue with the tack. I dont think you have to explain to non-idiots that each step takes time and you cant proceed to the next until your horse accepts the prior... duh. Sure there's a lot unsaid, of course- its a 10 step list! Text books have been written about horse training and you could study for years and still not know everything because theyre animals! And after all, eventually you DO have to get on (#10)! Oh, and I dont think you'll be teaching a "dressage test" unless you have the balls to get on it first.

moderately challanging?? Yeah good stuff out of you, you took step 1 in getting someone killed. A little few steps is not going to teach someone to "break" a horse i like the term "starting". Its not something younpick up out of book or anything like that, its something you feel when your beside a horse teaching it. Day 1 halter,day 2 roller?saddle...yeah right .if your good horses will let you know when to move to next step. I have met some that took full week to learn how to accept bridle(if they are not accepting bridle,how can they progress to anything important like stopping and turning and long reining) the mouth is so important and people rush it. people say horses can be backed at week 2 or 3,bullshite, when there ready there ready,otherwise your only setting up a problem for later. Remove this how to, or someone somewhere will get killed by following it. I know if i followed...

I may as well point out that not one of the people dumping on this article has offered any alternative definition or method of breaking a horse.

How can you write this and be satisfied? this is worst e-how article i have seen in ages. you do not just get on and ride it. what about the schooloing? what about teaching it how to do a simple dressage test? how to jump? how to complete simple manovures? how to behave? how to complete a correct transition? how to canter with soft and rounded movement? none of these are mention, even the basic topics, such as getting it to actually walk on, asking to trot, getting it to relax, none are covered. this is crap, i have a some tips: >DONT WRITE ABOUT WHAT YOU DONT KNOW >DONT REFER TO SCHOOLING OR TRAINING A HORSE AS BREAKING. THIS IS DISRESPECTFUL AND DISGUSTING we do not break horses, horse are 'broken' when it has a saddle thrust upon its back and some one leaps on it and holds on until it has been tired out completley.

the person who wrote the ten steps is heading for a recipe for disaster i have two arabs and consider these steps dangerous to someone with little or no experience one of my arabs i ride regularly and the other is a three year old which needs to be broken this year but i think i wont be following the ten tips and would have to be crazy to do so. there is so much information they have left out
