Annoyed horses are the ones that tend to nip when they’re cinchy. If your horse is annoyed about being girthed, this is the easiest problem to fix. Simply give him a cookie or carrot when he turns to nip you. Just when he thinks you are going to slap him, and he’s ready to hate you more, you give him a treat! In addition, learn how to adjust your cinch gradually. Don’t bale it into him, or he has every right to be bothered, and no amount of treats is going to change that. In our Safe Ride DVD, the issue of cinching/girthing is addressed, but even more important, you learn how to get your horse in the mood to be saddled. That’s an interesting concept most people miss! |
