Not all of them involve high winds and horse antics. In fact, one of our most memorable trail rides was on a beautiful sunny day in August. The day was calm without so much as a gentle breeze to stir a fallen leaf, let alone bring trees down. Yet, that\u2019s exactly what happened. A large tree limb crashed down just in front of my husband\u2019s very green trail horse and well\u2026you can imagine that things didn\u2019t go well. Some rides you\u2019re just happy to have survived. That was one of them.<\/p>\n<p>Yet, there is something about this time of year, October and November, when even the calmest of horses can show a little spook, most often when you least expect it. I don\u2019t know if it\u2019s the gusty winds, the chilly temperatures, or all those hobgoblins and ghosts, but I my horse is spookier in the fall.<\/p>\n<p>De-sensitizing to all those spook-worthy objects is the first tool in our arsenal and it\u2019s the one we think of first, but there are other things that can be making your horse jumpy. For this, I turn to the most \u201cbomb-proof\u201d horses in the nation, the New York City Mounted Police horses.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-33465\" src=\"https:\/\/yourhorsefarm.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/emeb89.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"618\" height=\"410\" srcset=\"https:\/\/yourhorsefarm.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/emeb89.jpg 618w, https:\/\/yourhorsefarm.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/emeb89-600x398.jpg 600w, https:\/\/yourhorsefarm.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/emeb89-300x199.jpg 300w, https:\/\/yourhorsefarm.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/emeb89-280x185.jpg 280w, https:\/\/yourhorsefarm.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/emeb89-560x372.jpg 560w, https:\/\/yourhorsefarm.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/emeb89-160x106.jpg 160w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 618px) 100vw, 618px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>The New York City Mounted Police horses remain calm even in chaotic environments like those found in the Bronx and Coney Island.\u00a0 The mounted police force takes a somewhat holistic approach to getting this accomplished. They give the horses a full round of exposure to things they might encounter, including fog machines, honking horns, bags of noisy tin cans, firearms, and getting bumped and jostled from all directions.<\/p>\n<p>The horse is only half of the equation according to the New York City mounted police. Riders work hard at staying fit and balanced in the saddle so that no matter what their horse might do, they can ride the spook. Riders are also taught how to read their horse\u2019s body language as well as how to monitor and notice changes in his well-being. They ride a wide variety of horses before they\u2019re given their own special mount which goes a long way to improving balance and skill.<\/p>\n<p>You might not ever ride your horse on a New York City street, but there are many things we can learn from the mounted police horse\u2019s training. Here are a few tips to get you started:<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Cut yourself (and your horse!) some slack<\/strong><em>.<\/em><\/h3>\n<p>Keep in mind that all horses spook at one time or another. If you\u2019re embarrassed because you\u2019re riding the most fractious horse on the trail ride, cut yourself (and your horse) a little slack. Chances are the other riders have dealt with spooky horses in their riding history. There really is no such thing as a \u2018bombproof horse\u2019. Feeling embarrassed while you\u2019re trying to manage your horse will only make you more tense. If you\u2019re riding with a good group, trust me&#8230;they\u2019re rooting for you.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Check your body position.<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Body position is critical in calming a spooky horse. If you\u2019re riding with tension in your hands, wrists, shoulders or back, chances are your horse will think something terrible is about to happen. Practice relaxation techniques like centered breathing off your horse as you go about your day. Take this skill to your next riding session.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Check your horse\u2019s body position.<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><em>\u00a0<\/em>I once rode out with a woman who felt her horse needed a running martingale. Her horse had a naturally high head position and every time he ran into that martingale it seemed to startle him. I asked her to try riding him without the martingale. On the very next ride her horse rode out with his head at wither level and was much, much calmer. You can put this to work for you by simply teaching your horse to lower his head whenever you pick up a single rein. Lowering the head to wither height or below helps to calm your horse and can avoid a spook altogether.<\/p>\n<p>If your horse is spooking and wants to bolt, do your best (using one rein and leg) to keep him facing the spooky object. This can be challenging but is the best way to manage a spook. Your horse\u2019s first instinct is to get as far away from the spooky object as he can. As soon as he has his bum turned towards it, he may bolt. Prevent this by doing whatever you can to keep him facing his challenge.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Check his diet.<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><em>\u00a0<\/em>If your horse is spookier than most or just more spooky lately, take a close look at his diet, especially if you feed grain. Keep in mind that what goes in must come out\u2014and we\u2019re not talking about manure, instead, we\u2019re talking about energy. To many horses, grain is like caffeine. If you have more than your fair share of caffeine you\u2019re likely to be a little jumpy, too. Consider switching your horse to a low sugar grain or eliminating it altogether.<\/p>\n<h3><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-33302\" src=\"https:\/\/yourhorsefarm.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/Career3-1024x717.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"890\" height=\"623\" srcset=\"https:\/\/yourhorsefarm.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/Career3-1024x717.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/yourhorsefarm.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/Career3-600x420.jpg 600w, https:\/\/yourhorsefarm.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/Career3-300x210.jpg 300w, https:\/\/yourhorsefarm.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/Career3-768x538.jpg 768w, https:\/\/yourhorsefarm.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/Career3-560x392.jpg 560w, https:\/\/yourhorsefarm.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/Career3-160x112.jpg 160w, https:\/\/yourhorsefarm.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/Career3.jpg 1280w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 890px) 100vw, 890px\" \/><\/h3>\n<h3><strong>Check his health.<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Vision problems, ear troubles, or pain anywhere in the body can be a reason for the sudden onset of spooky behavior. Most horses are stoic, so if you suspect a health problem consult your veterinarian to rule out a problem.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Is he getting enough sleep?<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Sleep deprivation is one of the primary reasons for spookiness in horses. Horses that do not feel comfortable lying down in their stalls or are low man in the herd may simply be suffering from sleep deprivation. Your horse should have a comfortable place to spend time in a recumbent position. He needs that for mental and physical restoration. Just as in humans, a good night\u2019s sleep is imperative. Consider mats or a stall mattress for comfort.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Don\u2019t overwhelm him.<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>It\u2019s so tempting. Your horse did so well on the trail ride with another calm and experienced horse so this week, you\u2019re going to ride him cross-country in that busy hunter pace. Probably not a good idea. Think little steps that build his confidence.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Get professional help.<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>It is always a good idea to get professional help if you feel you need it. Sometimes just a few lessons or training sessions can set you back on the path to happy and calm rides.<\/p>\n<p>What spooky antics is your horse up to this season?
