There are some things that happen in your stable that you should be aware of, and they are:
Frightened of the horses at the door
Some horses are terrified of the door of the stable when entering or leaving it, and for this reason it must be placed in the horse’s mouth the bridle when entering and when leaving, and that its support is in the hands of the rider as short as possible so that there is no room for the animal to leap in or retreat or collide with the legs of the door.
As for hitting an animal or threatening it with harm, this is foolishness. Because that increases his fear and turmoil, fear, turmoil and cowardice in fact the cause of that fear, and therefore the right of the handler to treat the animal with kindness and gentleness and encourage him to proceed by talking to him and mentioning his name and the words of caress he used to hear.
And if this habit has been fixed in him, then it is difficult to uproot it, but it is specially adapted. That is why observation, experience and patience are a means of treating this habit, or at least a reason to reduce its evil.
Eat hay
Some horses choose clean straw from the bedding, so he can eat it if he longs for hay, or if the bush prescribed for him is small and does not meet his needs. The remedy is affordable, but some horses refuse to eat clean straw and eat straw that is soaked in their urine, running after table salt in their urine.
Table salt, as it is known, plays a significant role in digestion and the synthesis of internal juices, and for this reason, the chain attached to the horse must be shortened, and a large piece of table salt should be placed in its manger to lick it whenever he wants, and this is the medicine for this habit.
licking
Some horses lick themselves and others, lick the walls, the manger and the floor. And the remedy for this habit is to completely cure eating hay because the lack of salt is the motivation for it, as the body of horses sticks to it with sweat and sweat the consistency of table salt.
Vices ..
To study the vices of horses, you must study the natures of the animal in general, for the animal, especially the horse, loves sympathy and domestication, but it is by its nature bound to resist evil with evil, especially if it is vulnerable.
Some horses defend themselves if they are hurt and refrain from performing any hard work that is beyond their ability, so their work is not vice, but if you are punished in this case, punishment and violence increase their stubbornness, and they may even make them dangerous, and they grow hated vices in them and make them attack before they are attacked.
We often observed horses, especially females, that show unusual movements as though they were biting and kicking, but they did not. This is a kind of caress and draw attention to it, and experts in horses infer this that they are sensitive and promise a beautiful future.
Horses of this type domesticate over time with their owner and those who approach them domesticated, turn into great knowledge and passion, so they rush to the sound they used to hear and obey their owner with pleasure and activity.
And some horses get along with the handler, but they are unruly, if they are placed with other horses, especially the females, and they bite and kick any strange horse near them, but soon a familiarity arises between them so that it is better not to separate them at work or in the stable, and some horses become tame for one individual no matter what it costs, but they are alienated From the group and resists it as if it feels afraid, and expects what will hurt and harm it.
And some horses get upset when commanded roughly, not to obey, but to resort to obstinacy. Some handlers are ignorant of that, so they strike the horse if they see this stubbornness from her, even though she has not in fact committed a sin that deserves to be beaten and warns her not to return to him.
