Horse Training question by horsegirl228: When is it okay to hit a horse during training?
Went to a training session at a girls horse camp where they were teaching young girls to work on grd manners w/ young horses 2.5-4 yrs. I went with my 2.5yr old mare. Another 3.5yr old mare was a serious pill. i.e. first rubbing head on handler and not respecting space then when trainer got a hold of the horse, the horse became more pushy and agitated then she began to rear and strike. Each bout of misbehavior followed w/physical punishment starting with a yank on the lead to slap to crop slap a couple of times.
I raised the question to the trainer if physical punishment was absolutely neccessary. She said yes. It all about “domination.” Also, added that you often need to catch the horses leg and let them flip themselves over when they rear and strike.
I am raising this question to others because i have not had to hit my horse. I openly admit I am toooo emotional about my horse. So far my mare is extremely responsive and I have really enjoyed hanging around with her.

i think it’s cruel to hit a horse because it’s misbehaving it might be scared or nervous or even too excited. hitting it will probably make it rear and kick even more. flipping a horse can seriously hurt a horse and some horses have trouble getting back up

This is a young unrideable horse on his second day with me and I’m using this session to build up a picture of his previous training.
