Bottom Line

One of the biggest misconceptions in the horse industry is that a “broke to death” horse for someone else will automatically be safe and reliable for the next person. That is true to some degree, as long as that horse has one damn good foundation and you know just enough shit regarding how he was trained to show him you’re not a complete idiot. A well broke horse is absolutely worth a lot of money because of the time and effort someone put into training that horse to make him safe and reliable. Here is the catch, though, that people don’t understand - It takes someone willing to learn how to maintain that horse’s respect that is the real key. The bottom line is respect isn’t transferable with horses. Which is why a horse will perform exceptionally well for someone, and not another, or started off doing well, and then developed problems. Get my drift? If someone doesn’t know how to earn and maintain a horse’s respect and trust for themselves, it doesn’t matter how “broke” a horse is, that horse will eventually become disrespectful, inconsistent, and/or fearful because he won’t feel safe.
