Longeing Horses
Be sure to longe your horse with the right equipment, splint boots with bell boots and wraps, a properly fitted halter, a lightweight longe whip and a longe line. Boots will protect horse’s legs from injury if they happen to have an over reach. The longe whip by the way, is used as an aid only, and not your primary training tool.

How Horse’s Communicate
Horses have a language of their own, and many of us are not as aware of it as we should be. Every movement that a horse makes with its ears, its hip movements, tail flicks and facial expressions, they all mean something.

Tack up your Horse properly.
- How snug should your horse saddle cinch be?
Horses cinched up too tightly get upset and eventually dislike being saddled. So if you do tighten it too much, chances are your horse will either reach around and bite you, move away or kick you. A snug cinch is the key. Just remember to position the saddle properly and you shouldn't have cinch problems.
