When feeding time comes...no looking back 😂

I've often heard people saying very negative things about their horses. Whatever happened it was always the horses fault. The horse isn't good enough, we don't have a click, i need another horse, i want to sell him for another horse, he is such a bad bullying horse, he must have been born a bad horse. I've often seen people hitting and punishing their horses.
But here is the thing people: there is no such thing as a bad horse. You have all the reasons down below that happen to exist for some horses. But sometimes the issue is just you yourself. When you say I just don't have a click with this horse my answer will be: well then work to get that click, it doesn't happen in a heartbeat. Yes sometimes it does like with my Estime but Simba was quite fearful in the beginning, he ran away from me, he bit at me, he kicked at me. He was a fearful horse. But I didn't even punish him. I sent him away from me, gave him all my patience. And I didn't make the same mistakes with him which I made with Estime as the newbie I was to horses at that time.

Its never just the horses fault. Look at yourself, be willing to work on yourself and your emotions, have patience, trust that all will be okay eventually, some horses have a history, some horses have gone through hell and back. Just like with humans you sometimes don't know what horses have gone through.

And never ever use violence on your horse. It simply doesn't help. I think we all have seen those videos where horses decided enough was enough and then all hell breaks loose for the owner or trainer. Show horses your respect it will bring you so much further.
