Making sure our horse is comfortable when trained is very important cause what horses feel comfortable with they want to do more of! Having a bucket of water in the training facility and allow them to walk off to drink when thirsty is a great way of giving horses a voice and choice. This goes for hot summer as well as cold winter, as both heat and cold makes horses thirsty.
Watch how a young mare getting used to the bridle and our old children`s horse takes a break from the training to drink water.
Allowing horses to take a break and drink water during the training session is a great way to make sure they are not only obedient when around us but also comfortable, which is essential when doing liberty without treats.
