Horse Psychology In Action – Bolting Basics

Training techniques like these are discussed in depth on the Intelligent Horsemanship's Online Horse Psychology Course, so this is just a taste of the sort of thing that is covered.

Meet Henry, a six-year-old competition pony who was trained from an unbroken four-year-old. Henry and his rider were initially performing “absolutely amazingly”. However, a challenging turn of events last year has led to Henry starting to bolt with his rider, resulting in a couple of accidents. This has caused everything to “go wrong,” and the family is now trying to understand the root cause of the behaviour. The situation has become so serious that they have received a recommendation to have Henry put to sleep!

Life After the Online Horse Psychology Course…

"Well, after 2 years and 2 months since the last of my ponies died, I finally have two old horses at home. I can see them from the kitchen window and also from the bedroom upstairs. It has been fascinating watching them settle in together. They didn’t know each other before. I try to interpret their behaviour using scientific terms from the course.

The biggest surprise is my (very) non-horsey husband has picked up on some of these terms and is giving me a constant report on what they are up to! I’ve even heard him telling a neighbour with the utmost confidence that one horse was showing ‘displacement’ behaviour when he was pawing the ground! Now isn’t it amazing that all these years of me explaining to him about how horses are, and how they react, etc, and he has barely even listened, but NOW he has terms to use; scientific labels, and he’s latched on with glee!

Thank you, IH; I think you might be saving my marriage; suddenly, he is interested!

Anyway, these two horses are like chalk and cheese. One is very dutiful and waits for cues from me as to where to go; the other works everything out in a hurry and has an astonishing survival instinct. They are living without much interference from me. I’m using a form of the Equicentral System; they have a lane way to walk to and from various fields; free choice to come into the barn for water, shelter, a snooze, breakfast, hay, etc. They just wander in and out all day, which is brilliant exercise for them and much less work for me. No headcollars or restrictions. I just observe and try to find the right scientific term to match their behaviour, before my husband does!

The Online Horse Psychology Course was brilliant in more ways than one….”
