One of the best and simplest tricks to teach your horse is Targeting (touching objects)! It’s so easy but has tons of uses!
In this video, Bella and I were working on walking onto a plastic board. She was fine when it stayed still, but when it moved… SCARY!! 😱
Instead of pushing her, I used Targeting, asking her to ‘Touch’ the board. Soon enough, the scary board turned into a fun game! 🎉
If you’re only going to teach your horse one trick, make it Targeting—it’s magical! ✨
