The best way that I can describe Down-under Horsemanship and the way I like to train horses is this: Horse training is like a scale, and on one end of the scale you have people who beg their horse to do things by using feed, grain or hay as a bribe. Sometimes the horse will perform just to get the treat. However, if the horse chooses not to go on because he feels giving up the fear or disrespectfulness he exhibits isn’t worth getting the treat. I have also heard of people not feeding a horse or watering a horse for two or three days thinking that if the horse eventually gets hungry or thirsty enough, he will perform to survive. These methods do not get consistent results, to say the least.
