Horse Behavior ArticlesThese horse behavior articles will give you new insight into what your horse needs to a great partner and performer. Your horse's behavior affects every aspect of your relationship with him and his ability to perform. Behavior problems can be stressful to deal with and can become downright dangerous. Avoiding them altogether by consistently working your horse in a way that promotes good citizenship is the ideal but that isn't always possible. Some horses are inherently more difficult to deal with and some come with mild to serious baggage from previous, or ongoing, situations. The key to resolving behavioral issues is to understand your horse as both an individual and an equine. Knowing what motivates him to behave a certain way (either good or bad) is essential to both rehabilitating and preventing problems, and having a safe and enjoyable relationship with your horse. I hope these horse behavior articles will help you understand your horse better and provide some insight into how you can make positive and lasting changes.
