If you have ever experienced a fear of riding horses, watch this video. It starts with a professional horse trainer named Ryan Rose tying a teddy bear named Jimmy on Henry the horse’s back. The handler must show Ryan what she is doing with Henry to be able to determine where to go from that point. She tries to keep the horse calm by being very quiet, which leads the horse to be under-exposed. The teddy bear will help the horse get used to being ridden. Watching the stuffed bear riding on Henry like it is a person is so funny.
The horse must better understand pressure before being ridden. Henry is a very sensitive horse who gets spooked very easily. The goal is to keep Henry comfortable so that the horse does not get spooked and the handler does not fall off the horse. If Henry is to be ridden safely, he must have a higher tolerance to new stimuli. Horsemanship is challenging, and it is essential that people have a mentor throughout the process.
The horse must learn to come to an acceptance of the situation. Henry reads the energy of the rope and learns how to recover. You will see how great Ryan is with the horse; he teaches the horse to calm down and be more relaxed. They want Henry to be calm when they put the saddle on his back.
You watch Ryan train the horse how to handle being ridden. Both the horse and the handler are quick learners. Ryan teaches us that when you train a horse, you add value to them so they do not end up in a bad situation and will have a home for life.
