Wait! 7 Essential Questions Before You Buy That Horse
“Will he suit my riding goals?” is one of seven key questions to ask yourself about a potential purchase. So if competing in trail is what you hope to do with your new horse, make sure your test ride includes plenty of trail obstacles. Credit: H&R file photo Looking to buy a horse? Found a real bargain? Slow down! Just because a horse is “a good deal” doesn’t mean he’ll be good for you. If he doesn’t match your needs in several key ways, he won’t make you happy—even if you get him for free.

Curing a Stumbler
A horse that minds well how he places his feet is safer and more fun to ride than a stumbler. You can help by how you ride and train him. Alana Harrison A horse prone to stumbling is a nuisance at best and a health hazard at worst. It’s normal for a horse to trip or stumble every once in a while, but if tripping on the trail is becoming a regular thing for your horse, that means he’s in need of help. I’m going to tell you how to address this problem.
Easy Ways to Deworm Your Horse
Deworming should be a worry-free, routine practice that takes place several times a year. Is your horse difficult to deworm? If so, he may have had a bad deworming experience. Or doesn't like the taste of the dewormer. You can train your horse to accept deworming calmly using Clinton Anderson's step-by-step technique. [READ: Horse Parasite Control] Clinton Anderson offers tips to train your horse to accept deworming calmly.
Three Ingredients to a Truly Broke Horse
By: Clinton Anderson Many horses are rideable, but few are truly well broke. I define a well broke horse as one who is quiet, dependable, soft and responsive, in any situation – in the arena or on the trail. Of course, many factors go into how far a horse’s training can go, including breeding, temperament and the method in which he is trained, but there’s a secret formula my mentor Gordon McKinlay taught me years ago that is the absolute key to training.
Tying a Horse in the Trailer
By: Clinton Anderson I often get asked if it’s OK to tie a horse in the trailer using my rope halter. The answer is absolutely. I tie all my horses in the trailer using my halter and lead rope and an Aussie Tie Ring. Whenever you tie a horse using a rope halter, make sure the halter is positioned correctly. When you’re working with your horse, I tell you to position the halter so that the knots of the noseband are just above the soft tissue on his nose.
Training Tip: Mouthy Horses
By: Clinton Anderson, Downunder Horsemanship When a horse gets mouthy — he nips or nibbles shirt sleeves, jackets or the lead rope — the behavior is often brushed aside. This is especially true with young horses, the most likely culprits of this behavior. A foal mouthing your shirt sleeve doesn’t seem like a big deal; in fact, a lot of people think it’s kind of cute. But the problem with this behavior is that if uncorrected it often turns into biting — a very dangerous vice.
A fresh look at procurement
Executives are feeling the pain. In a recent Bain & Company executive survey, more than half of the respondents told us that cost pressures constrain their ability to make strategic investments (see Figure 1). That is a big issue for nearly all companies, given that procured costs represent between 25 percent and 60 percent of a company’s total costs, depending on the industry. We frequently find that procurement does not get a commensurate level of organizational investment.
'Buddy' Problems on the Trail
Does your horse act herd-bound when you ask him to leave his trail buddies? Here’s the fix. Does your horse display “buddy” behavior on the trail? Does he get anxious and misbehave if you ask him to move beyond or away from one or more of his equine friends? This is a common problem, and a mistake people often make trying to fix it is correcting the behavior without addressing what’s causing it.
Master Log (& Other) Obstacles
When your horse steps calmly and quietly over obstacles in his path, trail rides are much more fun. You can train for that kind of willingness. Alana Harrison Is your horse afraid to step over logs and other obstacles on the trail? He has good reason. Nature tells him to protect his legs from the unknown, as a lameness-causing injury can separate him from the herd and turn him into a predator’s meal.
No Bucking Broncos!
Do your groundwork in advance, then know precisely what to do if your horse does buck or crow-hop. “Clinton, my mare sometimes bucks, especially when I ask her to lope. What should I do?” First, is your horse really bucking? Often, what people call bucking is really just kicking up or “crow-hopping”—the front legs stay on the ground while the horse kicks up his hind legs, which a rider can feel.

Regain Control! - Horse&Rider | Western Training - How-To - Advice
Clinton Anderson helps our reader calm and steady her mare when she acts up on the trail. Q: I enjoy trail riding, but my Appaloosa mare sometimes acts up for no apparent reason. She’s 11 years old and quiet in an arena, but often when we’re out on the trail, alone or with others, she gets excited. Sometimes it feels as if she’s going to take off with me, or she’ll tense up as if she wants to buck. Other times, she’ll stop and refuse to go forward; when I insist, she’ll start backing up.
