Do you sometimes hate your horse?
i was at the barn and had a great ride and had given my horse a bath, and given her about half of my lunch, then took her off the lead line to let her graze. i snaped the rope back on and tried to mount her, to no availl. then she got pushy so i made her do a tight lunge circle, which she has done before, no prob. then she jerks the lead out of my hand walks off and as soon as she sees im trying to follow her, she takes off! i was afraid the rope would get caught in her legs so i ran after her shouting whoa, whoa belle! she stopped at her pasture gate and wanted in! i was furious! i looked like an idiot the whole way infront of the barn owner who was giving lessons in the jump field. i wanted to beat my horse then and there but i wouldnt want everyone watching. so i grudingly let her in and gave her a smack on the rump with the lead rope. then i watched her prance around and be as happy as ever while her disgruntled owner had made a fool of her self and sprinted like mad. grrrrr sometimes i hate my mare, and wish i could have a well trained horse, has any thing like this ever happened to u or something that your horse did that made u really mad or really happy? did i do the right thing? what can i do to prevent this from happening again? (this is the second time it has happend!
Hennrietta: yes i know that u are supposed to punish after 10 sec. but that wasnt really possible, also i do have a trainer, and when i mean beat her i mean give a little jerk on the lead rope, a little slap, and a few loud words, not like full force attacking her, sorry i didnt mean to sound like an animal abuser!
no…I DONT HAVE ONE :\ i like them though!

Don’t give in to her. It’s just like when you first pick a horses hooves. They HATE it and will NOT pick up the hoof. You can’t let the horse win. When she does something right, reward her. Pat her, dismount, a treat, whatever. Just somthing to let her know she’s been doing a good job. After a while she’ll understand that if she does something good, she’ll get rewarded. And it’s mare nature to be a butt face. I’m all for geldings

yes……I’ve had her for 10 years and only ridden her 20 times, not kidding. She is the most bratly stubborn annoying useless horse I know…sorry to say its true…because of her I hate mares! She’s beautiful but compeletly useless…

Never ever hurt your horse. She was just saying that she didn’t want what you wanted but to be let into the pasture. She doesn’t know what you’ve done for her (bath, half your lunch etc). It was a good idea to try and get the lead but be careful about how you do it because you could scare her which could cause problems. I don’t personally own a horse but I took care of one for two years before he had to be put down due to jaw problems (R.I.P. Duke) and he was slightly aggressive. He would be fine with me lying down on his rump bareback for one second and the next throwing me off into the ring wall only to keep on walking like nothing happened. It’s bound to happen to every horse owner that your horse is being a smarty pants. I know that mares can be very moody so don’t give her what she’s wants, you’re only rewarding her for her actions, if she wants in the pasture after being naughty just lead her to her stall. Hope this helps

There is little point in hitting your horse. Apart from any other consideration, if punishment isn’t carried out with in ten seconds ot the misdemeanour it is punishing, the horse can’t associate the punishment with the reason for it. In this case and in your horse’s eyes, you actually punished her for getting caught and going into the field.
<<wanted to beat my horse then and there but i wouldn’t want everyone watching.>> if you have a temper like that you have no right to be anywhere near a horse.
<<wish i could have a well trained horse>> Ermm, remind me again – who does this horse belong to? Oh yes, you. Well, who do you think is responsible for your horse’s education if you aren’t? I suggest you find a good instructor who will train both you and your horse to behave properly in each others company
HENRIETTA | Mar 14, 2010
Never give up, and show the horse that you are the boss, like doing small things that she always listens to. Also, try to bond with her WITHOUT riding by doing things like giving her treats and brushing her. Mares can be Pushy, but if you do this it will help to make her trust you and want to be with you more. Also horses can sense feelings, so she can tell when your mad and sometimes even scared. It will change her responses when you are mad. Try to be calm and kind. Oh, and dont hate her, because it can change how she feels about you, too.

Oh yes. I know what you mean.
I get sooo mad sometimes. Like the other day my mare kept refusing these jumps when they were well below her level of jumping. She was just being a complete idiot. I didn’t give up and eventually had her going over them perfectly and easily. I did this a few times then praised her plenty and left it at that…
The next day, she refused the same jumps all over again and I had to go through the entire process of making her jump them again. I got so mad and frustrated and ended up screaming at her and giving her a good whack and spinning her around. It didn’t help the situation and I apologised to her later but gawd, you just get so mad! LOL.
There was a time where I REALLY hated her to the point where I was prepared to sell her. I took her to a cross country practice day. She was not listening to me at all, was all ears forward, body tense beneath me, watching all the other horses going around her. I asked her to go over this wee jump. She threw her head up then took off at it flat out, started pig jumping when we got to the other side then reared up and flipped over sideways. I hit the ground and she took off running! I wanted to kill her! …Or at least beat her a little LOL, but there were a lot of people around… I could seriously say I did NOT like that horse that day.
Another time the b*tch started dragging me because the other horses started running off. I elbowed her in the side and said "no!", she swung around with a mare-ish squeal and booted me in the stomach. I went flying backwards and she took off… I was very upset and angry with her.
Don’t get me wrong, I love my horse. But there are times where although I love her I really don’t LIKE her. Most of the time we get along very well though. It’s just occasionally. I’ve had bad moments with all my horses. So I can see what you are saying. Sometimes it’s better to just end it on a good note and walk away before you get even angrier.
KC | Mar 14, 2010
yes, this happends where you get very angery at your horse. its like people, you dont always like what they do and they make you angry. but i guess you justhave to live on and deal becasue you know your horse is worth it in the long run.
equinehueycandy | Mar 14, 2010
She got pushy, and you did the right thing by putting her to work instead of punishing her, but then when she took off, you chased her. SHE IS A PREY ANIMAL!!!!! If you chase her, she will run. Then, you wanted to beat her for simply being a horse. How can you be angry at her for being what she is? WHen you work with horses, you have to put your pride aside. You lost your temper because you got embarrassed, and then took it out on her. Put her to work, don’t punish her when she is bad; reward her when she is good; and think like a horse when you work with her. Never take anything a horse does personal. She is not trying to make you angry and frustrated, because that’s not how horses work. THink why she is doing what she is doing, and figure it out.

Hate to tell you this, but everything that happened in the scenario you described was your fault, not your horse’s. Horses are horses – semi-domesticated animals, not playthings. It’s a good thing you didn’t "beat her." You obviously need a lot more experience with horses, which will come with time, and some horsemanship instructions from an older person who understands how horses think. I don’t mean to be rude, but you sound like a spoiled teenager. I’ve yanked many a kid off a horse during a lesson because they were blaming the horse for things that were resulting from their own ignorance and impatience.
AND ditto Henrietta’s answer.
Azeri | Mar 14, 2010
Hate to rag on you, but Henrietta is absolutely right.
What your mare did to you was disrespect you. She’s telling you that she is the leader in this situation, and by letting her out to the pasture like she wanted, you let her believe that she won. Yeah, of course she did it a second time, she misbehaved and then was given what she wanted.
The hard truth of it is that you ARE responsible for the behavior of your horse. If you want a well-trained horse, train her. If you’ve never trained a horse yourself, get help for you and your horse from a trainer. They’ll gladly teach you both how to communicate more fluently with each other, and you’ll learn how to properly correct her misbehavior.
As others have said, by the time you caught your mare it was too late to punish her. She would have thought that she was being punished from getting caught– that’s not the case at all. What you should have done is led her back to where you started and made her behave. Once she behaves, you release. Pat her, praise her, and THEN turn her out.
Of course we all get angry with our horses every now and again, I would know. I’ve got a 4-year-old I’ve been training, and he’s got his fair share of quirks. It’s important though, especially when dealing with a young horse, not to lose your temper. Every second you’re around them, they’re learning. The important thing to realize is a lot of the time the things that we perceive as "misbehavior" is simply caused by the horse not understanding what you’re asking of them, or failure to properly communicate your request to them… Getting angry and flustered isn’t going to help the situation in any way.
You CAN be angry at your horse, it will happen, you can’t stop it. Just try to remember not to explode on your horse, it’s not going to solve anything for anyone. Yes, be angry, but channel your anger into determination to get whatever the problem is corrected. It’s much, much more rewarding to have done something right that has been causing you so much trouble in the past. Never leave the horse on a bad note, if you’re having a bad ride, don’t go off on them or give up, stay on until they’ve done something right. You might have to really work at it, but once they do something right THEN you can praise them and then you can get off. Horses aren’t going to understand once you’re off their backs that you’re angry because they had a bad ride, their brains don’t work that way.
To answer the main question, yes, I have been angry with my colt, but I will never say that I hate him. Hating someone is the equivalent of saying that they could die and you wouldn’t care. I don’t care how bad of a day my colt and I may have had, I will always love him more than life himself.
Horses have bad days too, that’s no excuse to say you hate them.
If I ever got off my horse after a bad ride and claimed that I hated him, and then some freak accident DID happen and he died that night, I wouldn’t be able to live with myself. That would absolutely kill me knowing that my horse died and my last thoughts of him were that I hated him.
That’s why it’s doubly important to me never to leave my horse on a bad note.
I’ve lost a horse before, he was my best friend and the only thing I can ever say that I’ve loved completely unconditionally.
Don’t take them for granted, they won’t be around forever.
Hope that helps.

Nope, i never hate my horse, i love her to bits!! sometimes i do get mad with her but i stop and take three deep breaths.
Hitting your horse is no way to treat it, you will make the situation worse. Making your horse work at the start was right but hitting them is not the answer, you will wreck your bond with her and she’ll only work because she’s scared of you punishing her for it!
horsegurl | Mar 14, 2010
Yeah, there are days I just want to pack it in. Sometimes though, its not the horse. Sometimes its me. I just give her and I time to calm down.
Personally, and I know not everyone will like this, but you did do the right thing. Reprimand, and leave her be.
I don’t know what you can do to prevent it… maybe when you let her graze, don’t take the lead off. Also, if you go to mount her, go over to a fence. I’m not trying to tell you how to ride, just want to help
