Horses seem to really like this spade bit. It's comfortable, and the rolling action, like a fidget spinner, helps them relax their tongue. #HorseTraining #EquineCare

Ever notice a horse rolling the cricket in its mouth? It's not what you think. This action is a clear sign of relaxation, much like a human fidgeting or chewing gum. A fascinating insight into equine calm.#HorseBehavior #AnimalWelfare

When your horse races back to the barn it is because they associate it with rest and relaxation. So, what you need to do is to let them make that choice and when they make it to the barn hustle them and show them that their decision means work.#HorseTraining #EquestrianLife

This walking horse mare is sporting a traditional hackamore with a half-inch bozal and mecate rein. Its weight and balance help her find a healthy head position, essential for developing the right muscles while carrying a rider. #HorseTraining #Equestrian

Riding horses alone offers a unique bond. While it can be tougher initially as they rely less on group courage, it builds deeper trust and allows them to learn more independently. #HorseRiding #TrainingTips

Walking horses are so much more than just a gaited horse. At Ed's Walking Horses, we're showing their incredible versatility by training them in the Vaquero tradition—honoring the horse and blazing a new trail for this underappreciated breed. #WalkingHorses #VaqueroHorsemanship

Navigating rocky terrain requires careful footing, even for barefoot horses. Every step matters on this challenging creek bed. #TrailRiding #EquestrianLife

Even when a horse knows what to do, she might resist going back to the barn. Strong thoughts about joining the herd can override training. It's not about knowing the cues, but about what she's thinking. #HorseTraining #EquineBehavior

Is your horse trying to rush back to the barn? This is called 'barn sour.' The key is creating a clear contrast: calm and easy when heading *away* from the barn. #HorseTraining #BarnSourHorse
