Putting on a Halter : Correctly Leading a Horse Into a Stall

Series Summary

Man has long had a special relationship with one particular animal on this planet: the horse. Horses have carried us into battle, fierce and unafraid. They have pulled our plows and buggies, and carried our loads. They’ve helped us travel long distances. They’ve been essential in herding and driving our cattle. And the police still use them for crowd control situations in dense urban environments. Without a doubt, horses have proven to be well-adapted for human life, expressing qualities of loyalty and bravery, responding to commands, and usually having a calm, docile demeanor.

Since they are inherently wild animals, all horses need some sort of obedience training before they can work side by side with humans. Especially when horseback riding, the relationship between horse and rider must be cultivated over time and with the proper techniques and equipment. In these free horseback riding lessons on video, learn how to properly lead a horse in and out of a stall and some games and tricks you can teach your horse.
