Training

Horses need to be trained in order to ride or pull a cart or even to behave properly. Natural equine behavior has very little to do with the things people ask of them, and it falls on the rider to learn enough horsemanship to ride safely and intelligently. Horses cannot understand the reasons for bits, reins and stirrups. The horse and rider need to work together to achieve their goals and have an enjoyable time. 

Many horse owners cannot train their own animals.  Time constraints or not having the ability to train them are common reasons why horse owners employ a horse trainer.  Horse trainers are similar to personal trainers in the fact that they give the horse personalized training in order for the equine to perform the desired activity.

There are numerous aspects to train a horse in.  The most basic are how to walk, trot, and canter under saddle. Also, a horse needs to be trained to do the different moves required for halter such as pivoting and setting-up.  Also, jumping is a rigorous activity that requires long hours of training.  Training a horse is a long and difficult process, but it is also rewarding when done correctly.
