If you’ve ever stood at the edge of a pasture, halter in hand, watching your horse disappear into the distance with a flick of the tail, you’re not alone. Horses that are difficult to catch can be frustrating and disheartening, but it doesn’t have to stay that way.

At some point, every horse owner needs another person to help care for their horse. Whether due to illness, travel, or day-to-day responsibilities, it is common for someone else to step in. While this can be helpful and is necessary, it can also bring challenges, especially when a horse is used to interacting with only one handler.

Resolve your horse's farrier anxiety with these simple steps

When we think of food and horses, we often imagine peaceful grazing, calm munching, and the quiet rhythm of nature. But for many domestic horses, food is not a comfort. It’s a source of anxiety, frustration, and even conflict.

If you’ve ever struggled with a horse that kicks, bolts, drags you around, or panics during care, you are not alone. These behaviors are often rooted in fear and past experiences of being handled without choice or warning.
