Omar: What kind of problems are you having with your horse? Sami: He's a beautiful, strong, and affectionate horse, but he's driving me crazy. He won't follow instructions. He will gallop instead of cantering, he won't turn when I need him to, and if he spots a patch of grass, he'll head straight for it and ignore me completely. Omar: I gather you have a young stallion. I will check the schedule and we can arrange training sessions for you and your horse. Hang in there! Sami: OK, but in the meantime, I really need some advice. How should I handle him when he disobeys? Omar: Well, I can try and give you a few tips now. You say he'll head straight for a patch of grass when he sees one. Do you let him do that when you are out riding? Sami: Well, sometimes. But only if I want to stop for a minute or so. Omar: You need to set rules and then stick with them 24/7. If you're not consistent, he's not going to learn. Sami: OK. But when he is all friendly and nice, it's hard not to let him do what he wants. Omar: Look, I'm going to get to the point. It sounds to me like your horse is calling the shots. You need to be firmer. If you train your horse not to do something then suddenly let him do it, you'll be back to the drawing board.
