Quick Tip# 39--Train Healthy Horses!
A healthy horse learns much faster than one who is encumbered by slabs of fat, completely deconditioned by spending time in stables, and loaded up with sugar,grain and other things that horses did not evolve to eat.
It is hard to teach a horse to move if simple movement is hard for the horse. A lean horse, living on forage, (grass and hay) who is outside 24/7 is much easier and safer to train than this stable-potato cousin who spends his life high on sugar and wracked with chemical induced stress.
Natural horse care produce healthier horses. That is obvious. But it also creates happier horses.
A happy horse, like a happy kid, learns with ease.
