Desensitising Horses by Hannah Davis https://padlet.com/hannah_davis8/55nmguutvzn4dvat Please share your experiences of how you have worked with horse to make them more confident en-us 2021-01-28 20:27:19 UTC 2021-01-29 11:09:51 UTC hello@padlet.com My pony Justa was absolutely terrified of bikes, whenever they came past us she would rear up and spin around. To get her more confident with bikes we started by walking her past a stationary bike and allowing her to have a good look at it and touch it, we then moved on to me riding the bike around her to get her used to the noise, after a few weeks of doing this she was comfortable with bike and now our hacks are much calmer https://padlet.com/hannah_davis8/55nmguutvzn4dvat/wish/1140132846 2021-01-29 11:02:40 UTC https://padlet.com/hannah_davis8/55nmguutvzn4dvat/wish/1140132846 Scared of their tack, put it around them and rubbing saddle pads ect on them https://padlet.com/hannah_davis8/55nmguutvzn4dvat/wish/1140132869 2021-01-29 11:02:41 UTC https://padlet.com/hannah_davis8/55nmguutvzn4dvat/wish/1140132869 https://padlet.com/hannah_davis8/55nmguutvzn4dvat/wish/1140132960 Em and I were on a hack and we came across a sheltland pony stallion in a field. Who started to square up to Ems riggy gelding and poppy was in season so we ended up half a mile down a road just because of a 10hh pony. Em had to get off to walk past on the ground so that they felt safe to get past the really scary horse. 

My old ex racer was left out in a field on her own by my livary yard at night and it was fire work night and she jumped into a 6ft fence and broke her leg. She now is hard to put in a field and be left and has to be watched ]]> 2021-01-29 11:02:43 UTC https://padlet.com/hannah_davis8/55nmguutvzn4dvat/wish/1140132960 https://padlet.com/hannah_davis8/55nmguutvzn4dvat/wish/1140133198 putting that horse in that situation many times and rewarding clam behaviour]]> 2021-01-29 11:02:50 UTC https://padlet.com/hannah_davis8/55nmguutvzn4dvat/wish/1140133198 my old pony was terrified of cows to the point if he smelt one he would juts bolt in the other direction https://padlet.com/hannah_davis8/55nmguutvzn4dvat/wish/1140134899 2021-01-29 11:03:30 UTC https://padlet.com/hannah_davis8/55nmguutvzn4dvat/wish/1140134899 i used to ride a horse that was really scared of puddles and would turn around and go the other way so he didn't have to go over it https://padlet.com/hannah_davis8/55nmguutvzn4dvat/wish/1140141742 2021-01-29 11:06:27 UTC https://padlet.com/hannah_davis8/55nmguutvzn4dvat/wish/1140141742 my horse Zorro is terrified of sheep and cows which makes hacking at certain times of the year a bit tricky as I can't get within a mile of them. https://padlet.com/hannah_davis8/55nmguutvzn4dvat/wish/1140142025 2021-01-29 11:06:36 UTC https://padlet.com/hannah_davis8/55nmguutvzn4dvat/wish/1140142025 a horse i used to ride was scared of the blue road markings and refuses to go near them https://padlet.com/hannah_davis8/55nmguutvzn4dvat/wish/1140143727 2021-01-29 11:07:22 UTC https://padlet.com/hannah_davis8/55nmguutvzn4dvat/wish/1140143727
