I have adopted a few techniques in my daily life in the stable. They’ve become habit for me, and while they may not be ground-breaking ideas, they have kept me safe and kick-free.
I always remember these are prey animals. Chasing, quickly approaching, and using aggression doesn’t work. Instead I use their own horse behavior in my favor.
1. I move the heard leader if the horses are in my way while working. The others will follow.
2. I approach slowly and work slowly when using fly spray, especially on rescues. This keeps them still when spraying.
3. I always talk to my horses while working. This way they know here I am and accidents can be avoided.
