Introduction
Hey everyone! As horse trainers, we’re always talking about one key aspect of handling horses: control. Often, you’ll hear advice about controlling the feet, managing emotions, and taking charge of various aspects to improve behavior and safety. But what if we told you there’s a simpler approach? In this series, “Control the Head, Control the Horse,” we’re going to explore how mastering one area—head control—can lead to a well-mannered, responsive horse, regardless of breed, age, or training level.
Why Focus on Head Control?
One of the most significant truths in horse training is this: if you can control the head, you can control the horse. This concept applies no matter your horse’s breed, age, or the amount of training they’ve had (or haven’t had). A horse’s head acts as a guide for the rest of their body; mastering head control makes everything else fall into place more naturally. And the best part? It’s a method accessible to everyone, regardless of your experience level.
