How To Saddle Break A Horse?

While this will not enable you to start a green horse, it will give you some education and ideas. Purchase Clinton Anderson's Colt Starting video to help you get started. No one on YA can give you any proper answer to your question. It is too broad and the information required is volumes. Starting a horse is challenging. If you have a good temperament, that will bode well for you, but you should put a good basic foundation on your horse from the ground before you even think of introducing a saddle. I have been starting horses and re-starting problem horses for years, and there is a lot of work that needs to be done with a halter and a lead rope before you even think of anything else. Not to be unkind, but when I hear comments like yours, it is an obvious indication that you do not have any idea what you are about to attempt to do. Again, if you have a kind horse, that is great, but when you begin proper training, if you begin proper training - and many never do - that attitude can change. When you begin to gain respect, it is a different matter. I see people riding horses and even competing with horses all the time and they are just not broke, have no foundation at all. When you don't have a proper foundation on your horse, you will never be able to achieve the optimum performance level with your horse. The blind, obviously, never see that point of view. If you do not know that you need basic foundation training on your horse, I guess you would never know that you are missing it. Get some education. If you have the video, you can watch it over and over, and you will need to do so. No one can get it just once. And it will take a lot of time, patience and practice in an effort to get your timing right. You have to always stay calm, no matter what. Never express anger or frustration with your horse. Beginning to train your horse is really not so much about the horse as it is about YOU. The human has to be trained before the horse can be. Be kind and be safe.
