Have you ever wanted to learn the secrets of Indian horse training? Did the tribes really have an Indian horse trainer?
Do you know how the Indians got so good with horses and equine training? They kept learning.
In fact, it was the Mohican Indians who actually studied equines.
To break the horse, they never broke his spirits by riding and riding until he gave in. Instead, it would take many days to handle the animal. They would talk to him. Feed it. And very, very, very gently, get on his back.
In fact, they spent hours on the animal’s back with a blanket. Once the animal understood what the Indians wanted, they had no trouble riding it. It’s a great technique.
And that’s just one of the ways equines have been trained throughout history.
Another Indian horse training technique was to blindfold the horse and lead it into the water. The water had to be quite deep for a very important reason. If the horse ever moved, the water would tire him out very quickly and he would have to stop because he would simply run out of energy. Also, if the Indian were rejected, he would have a pretty soft landing. However, as you can imagine, the horse didn’t have much pushing power in higher waters despite its mighty strength.
Another important part of Indian horse training is how quickly they developed a relationship with their horse. His horse was revered. He was honored and treated as one of his best friends. Turns out, this is key in horse training because the better you treat a horse (most of the time), the more it willingly does for you, and the more it trusts you. In turn, you can trust him more, as he is friendlier.
