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 at horses and equine training? They kept learning.
In fact, it was the Mohican Indians who really studied horses.
To tame the horse, they never broke his spirit by riding and riding until he gave up. Instead, they would spend many days handling the animal. They would talk to him. Feed it. And very, very, very gently climb onto 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 problem mounting 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 bucked, the water would tire him out very quickly and he would have to stop bucking because he would simply run out of energy. Besides, if the Indian got discouraged, he would have a pretty soft landing. However, as you can imagine, the horse didn’t have much bucking power in higher waters despite his mighty strength.
Another important part of training Indian horses 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. It turns out that this is key in horse training because the better a horse is treated (most of the time), the more willingly he does for you and the more he trusts you. In turn, you can trust him more as he is friendlier.
