LIFE WITH A HORSE
A horse can be grumpy if it is sick. A horse can also get stressed and therefore behave in a difficult way. As a herd animal, a horse may become tense when alone. A frightened or nervous horse is often difficult to handle and ride.
But usually it's just a case of the horse not understanding exactly what the human wants it to do. That's why you have to teach him each request separately. The horse also needs to be taught how to act in each situation. Fortunately, the horse learns quickly and remembers well, as long as he gets something he likes as a reward for doing the right thing.
The horse is always observing what is going to happen as a result of something. If something nice comes out of picking him up from the stable, he will start waiting at the gate. If something unpleasant follows, such as riding in an ill-fitting saddle, the horse learns to stay away from the person fetching it from the stable. If the horse has had a bad experience of being given a worming drug, for example, it will leave when it sees a person approaching with the drug.
