Horse Training: How To Stop A Horse From Balking
Balking is one of the most aggravating habits that a horse can have. You're ready to go but the horse is not and probably will not be for a while.
A balky horse usually stands and looks back, as if it expected something to happen from the rear, and he is seldom disappointed, for the driver usually makes the air hot with a volley of words and the hissing of the whip. His words have absolutely no meaning to the horse and naturally he becomes more and more confused and his senses more and more blunted. It would be better instead of yelling and slashing with a whip to sing a song and step to one side and slash the fence.
The horse's confusion would change to astonishment and he would probably move off.

I've seen horses lean forward to try and eat the food but wouldn't step into the trailer if their life depended on it.
Mistake #3: "Forgetting To Hook The Trailer To The Truck" Don't forget to hitch the trailer to the truck before getting a horse to go in the trailer. If a horse steps into a trailer that moves around unforgivably, you will have a harder time getting that horse in later. He'll remember it - especially if this is the horse's first time.
Mistake #4: "The Classic Tug Of War" Here's...

The Cure To Stop A Horse From Kicking
I get a lot of horse training questions about stopping a horse from kicking.
The kicking habits of these horses range from the horse kicking at virtually anyone to kicking at only the husbands.It's a daunting problem that lots of people have no idea how to cure.
That being so, I want to share some insight to horses kicking.First I want to relate some causes
of horses starting in the habit of kicking.
Because a horse kicks is no reason to think he is naturally bad or unmanageable.
I don't think there is a horse alive that is "naturally" vicious.
In fact, they're made that way due to bad management or ignorant handlers.Admittedly, there are some horses that inherit the characteristics of their ancestors.
But one should never start to break a horse without first taking into consideration the nature, disposition, and understanding of a horse.For instance, there are some horses that are naturally predisposed to have a "not so good"...
