Have you ever wanted to learn the secrets of training Indian horses? Did the tribes really have an Indian horse trainer?
Do you know how the Indians got so good with horses and equine training? They kept learning.
In fact, it was the Mohican Indians who really studied equines.
To tame the horse, they never broke his spirit by riding and riding until he gave up. Instead, they would spend many days handling the animal. They would talk to him. Feed him. And very, very, very gently climb onto his back.
In fact, they spent hours on the animal’s back with a blanket. Once the animal understood what the Indians wanted, they had no trouble mounting it. It’s a great technique.
And that’s just one of the ways equines have been trained throughout history.
Another Indian horse training technique was to blindfold the horse and lead it into the water. The water had to be pretty deep for a very important reason. If the horse ever bucked, the water would tire him out very quickly and he would have to stop bucking because he would simply run out of energy. Besides, if the Indian got discouraged, he’d have a pretty soft landing. However, as you can imagine, the horse did not have much bucking power in higher water despite its mighty strength.
Another important part of Indian horse training is how quickly you developed a relationship with your horse. His horse was revered. He was honored and treated as one of his best friends. As it turns out, this is key in horse training because the better a horse is treated (most of the time), the more willingly it does for you and the more it trusts you. In turn, you can trust him more since he is friendlier.
