- Petting a horse is one of the very first things everyone wants to do when they get up to one. The problem is if it's done incorrectly it can be detrimental to the relationship you have with your horse. When done the right way, however, you will get your horse to relax on a whole new level and build his trust in you as a leader. I've seen people do this wrong so many times and even I myself struggle to remember to do it the right way in many of my own videos! But hopefully this video helps you to keep in mind how your horse wants you to pet him! Learning how to stroke or pet a horse is a great skill to have and will make you a better horseman!

Did not know about the 10 times stroking…thank you
So welcome! 😊🙌🏼
Yes, indeed, many things are good here, ie horses respond to rythym, stroking 5 times, stop then 5 times, etc. and being alert for sensitive areas. On the other hand, have you seen horses in the field. They bite hard, physically move each other around and kick each other with both hind feet. There's no gentleness. But still, I think you need to pet and desensitize your horse to things Everwhere if you want to ride them vs having just a lawn ornament. If your saddle bag leathers come loose and hit an area that you haven't desensitized, you could easily become launched. I totally agree with the inappropriateness of slapping. I can't think of any animal that would want to be slapped
@@pjstar2009 In my youth ( I 'm nearly 59 years old) it was like that. Instructors were asking all the learners to slap the poor horses necks. I did not know but I never liked...it seemed to me too short. Not bringing them softness and too short to pet them good.
After a very long stop I ride again. Rule changed
! I 'm very happy about it.
I always prefer to gently caress their necks and themselves too !!!
That ten times method is great, I' m going to try it next time. 😁👍🏻
What I love is when horses show you where they desire caresses or scratches. Foreheads for example.
Or necks.
I am giving cuddles to all the horses of the barn. About 20 horses, most are mares.
They decide when they want me to. I listen to them.
Then this is the best school to learn how to pet the best way. And who loves what too.
Not all horses love hand touch. Some prefer only smell your nose at first. Or your hand. After it changes. In addition there is jealousy between them. . If one wants scratches on his forehead or a good head cuddling then another one too. 😊👌🏻🐎🐎
I changed my behavior with cuddling. I 'm less touchy. They all trust me.
@@HorsePerfectwhy didn't the horse attack you? Bite you??
If only some people would listen and learn. That whole "Olympic pat" thing is disgusting, ignorant and arrogant. Many animals respond positively to stroking because of their mothers licking them, especially when they are first born - dogs, cats, rabbits, etc.
Absolutely agree! Wow I didn’t know it worked the same way in other animals that’s so interesting!
@@HorsePerfect Well, of course, not birds or reptiles and others whose mothers don't lick them when they are born; I guess it would only be mammals who give live births. They do that to keep them from smelling and attracting predators at a time when both are vulnerable. So don't pet/stroke birds, snakes, frogs, lizards, etc.; it definitely does not soothe them, only frightens them.
@@virginiamoss7045 makes sense! I’ll stop petting my parrot 10 times lol
@@HorsePerfect What birds do like is to be groomed by other birds. Try pretending that you are hunting for mites and such between their feathers, not exactly 'scratching', but getting in there and gently grooming. It's a bonding habit for them and you would like for your parrot to bond with you, I would assume. I don't think 'petting' or even holding parrots frightens them if they are comfortable with people; they may even like to be held close. Dogs just tolerate us hugging them close; it's not at all comforting to them.
I literally cringe seeing people do the whole pat thing….. like it’s because it’s popular and so professional looking …. Wrong
Such a basic thing but very important, there must be many inexperienced people like me who have never really thought much of it. thank you
So glad it’s been a helpful topic! 😊🙌🏼
I don't even have a horse but i like to watch🤣
Haha that’s awesome we’ll incase you ever need to pet one you’re good now 😎
Hard scratching around the wither imitating a horse grooming is. Very beneficial. When getttinc that first hand on always shoulder and wither areas staying away from the head
Great video. I knew not to do the Olympic Slap, and to stroke the horse instead. But I've never heard the 10x thing. It makes perfect sense. Thanks so much!
Thank you! Glad it was helpful for you!

EXCELLENT Subject & Information Thankyou ! xoxoxo
You are so welcome!😊
Very valuable information.
Glad to hear that! Was a video I thought wouldn't do well haha
Wow...thank you!
You are so welcome! 😊
I really thought this was gonna be a satire vid 😭😭
Lol maybe I should do some of those then
I can't stand when people pat their horses hard. I've seen people who pat horses so hard, the arena echoes with the slap sound. Stroking and scratching gently is best!
Me either it’s pretty sad. Totally agree! 🙌🏼
Btw where u from?
I’m from England 🏴
You’d think it would be common sense, but… well… I’ve personally seen some people do some pretty nonsensical things to and with animals, so…. 🤨
Right!? Its sad but I knew I had to make this video 😅
😂does not like to be touched on the belly
I guess its ticklish 😂
You left out touching the nose.
Not a good idea to scratch or rub the nose. Some horses are fine with that but others aren't.
You forgot to mention to never pet on the chest of a male horse, because it’s an erogenous zone for them.
Ok haha that’s interesting I’m not sure how accurate that is but it could be true I guess
