Information and Videos

Horse tricks can be very beneficial for you and your horse. Not only are they entertaining, but it also improves communication and your horse's ability to learn.

All horse's learn at a different pace so keep this in mind if you are introducing something new. Be patient and teach in small time frames of about ten to fifteen minutes per day. Always remain consistent with any training that you do with your horse.

Having said that, please know your training limits when working with a horse and remember you and your horse's safety is the most important thing to consider when training! Below you will find videos on teaching your horse to bow, lay down, shake hands, nod, shake head, smile, and pick up a hat!
