Do the Opposite of What He Expects
The horse thinks that as soon as he
steps one hoof in the arena he’s going to
have to work hard and sweat. Instead, once
you get inside the arena, let him relax and
get off of him. Put him back in the barn and
take the saddle off. Do the exact opposite of
what he expects.
With repetition, he will soon learn that
he has no reason to fear or resent the arena.
Whatever you do, don’t get the horse into
the arena and immediately start working
him hard, because then you’ll have to start
the whole process over again.
Consistency is Your Greatest Ally
Practicing this exercise for one day
isn’t going to cure an arena sour horse. On
the fi rst day you may get the horse inside
the arena, but that’s just the start of the
process. Remember, when training a horse,
consistency is your greatest ally and incon-
sistency is your greatest enemy. You have
to consistently chip away at his fear and
resentment of going into the arena every
day. If you do that, eventually you will
eliminate the problem.
