Horses That Pull When Tied

موقع أيام نيوز

Having a horse pull back when he is tied is not a fun experience. There is risk to the horse equipment and anyone in the vicinity when it happens.
Is pulling a behaviour problem or a training problem? Horses pull back for a couple of reasons. Firstly they are scared and secondly they know they can. Essentially it is both a behaviour and a training problem. But even if the horse is pulling because of a learned behaviour the root of the problem was likely based in fear.
We have all heard that a horses strongest instinct is to run. Fundamentally this is true but you can categorize the flight instinct by the stages of flight. The intensity of the flight instinct depends on the stress level of the individual horse. Horses as individuals have different natural stress thresholds. When a horse hits his stress threshold he will essentially panic a total loss of rational thought leading to instinctive behaviour taking over his physical response and feel an overwhelming need to escape. The horses feet are his means of escape.

If a horse is under stress at a level below his threshold we will see movement from the horse but it will not be panicked. Nonpanicked movement can be made under stress although the horse is still rational and in control. A mild response to stress could be displayed by the horse shifting his weight taking a few steps pawing at the ground or moving away a few feet before stopping again I call this a green alert. These signs indicate that the horse could be stressed but is able to cope.

An intermediate response to stress could be the horse moving frantically becoming very pushy when he is not normally so becoming increasingly distracted and showing visible signs that he is highly stressed. His head will be up eyes wide and he could be snorting or whinnying. I call this an amber alert this means that he is barely rational and very close to becoming overwhelmed. In an extreme stress situation the horse totally shuts down mentally. He is determined to escape at all costs and is not concerned at this point about injury to himself or to others. This is totally irrational behaviour solely devoted to basic survival at any cost. Obviously this is a red alert.
If the horse knows that he can move in a manner relative to how alerted his
