How does one start their horse on natural horsemanship training?

I am about to buy a three-year-old Arab/Andalusian cross. He’s small, around 14.3. He is greenbroke, and I’m able to ride him, but he lacks all fundamentals and skills. He doesn’t know proper leg commands, he weaves, he’s “looky”, etc. I would really like to train him myself using natural horsemanship. How does one begin natural horsemanship training? What are some fundamentals? What are the pros and cons of this method? Any other information on it would also be appreciated. Thank you.

Buy Pat Parelli’s book called Natural Horsemanship. It will answer all of the questions you have and then you will always have it to refer back to. It’s a wonderful book that explains all of the fundamentals of Natural Horsemanship and how to achieve them. Good luck and congrats on your new horse!

Answer by Takarie K
I have a 2 yr old son and twin 3 yr old sons. The twins are twice as hard to train since well there are two of them.

best time for them would be at or after age 2.
My 2 yr old is showing interest since his big brothers are doing the ” Potty Thing ”
He will tell you when he is ready, opps I meant “they” will tell you.
Dry mornings or nap times are very good signs they are physically ready. Recognizing they are going when they are going is a good way. Wanting to strip their diapers off is a sign they dont want them any more. Wait a minute, That last one can also be a sing of they just want to be naked. Oh well, they are only little for a little while.
Good luck

We want to start potty training my step son but i have no clue how to potty train a boy! He is very stubborn and doesn’t even eat with a fork or a spoon (he eats with his hands) he crys when we make him sit down on the pot just to familiarize him with it…HELP! He wakes up in the morning with a dry diaper and goes a long time without peeing in his diaper so i think he ready.

He will show you the signs when he is ready to be potty trained.
Here are some of the most common signs:

1. Takes Off Own Clothes

Let’s face it. The first step to becoming dry begins with your toddler’s ability to recognize he has to go to the bathroom. The second step is his ability to pull down his pants, or lift up her dress. The third step is actually going to use the potty. If your child begins insisting on taking off his clothes then he probably is ready to begin training for the potty.

2. Talks about Using the Potty

He may say, “I want to use the potty.” Or, he may just point to it and sit down. Either case he is showing an extreme interest in the little chair. Well, what do you do if he’s interested in sitting; maybe he’ll be interested in using it. You never know unless you try. Hey diapers are expensive why spend more on them if you don’t have to.

3. Does a Potty Dance?

There are some children doing potty dance? Does your little one have a routine? Does he stomp, turn, twist, and grab his groin like Michael Jackson? If he does, then that’s his potty dance. He’s ready, ready, and ready if he has his own version and he dances it whether there’s music on or not.

4. Shows an Interest in the Bathroom or Toilet

This is the big koruna of all ready signs. The big earthquake so to speak. If your child is curious about the bathroom or toilet, then he’s ready to learn how to use it. Is he curious about how it flushes? Well, that’s because he wants to know how that giant white chair works. Why does it make that sound? It’s a noise like no other. He’s not being bad when you have to drag him out of the toilet. He wants to know what the toilet is. He wants to know how it works. He is ready, ready, and ready for potty training.

5. Stays Dry Overnight & During Naps

This is a hard readiness sign to understand. If you child staying dry overnights and at naptime that is the sign that he is ready for potty training. In any event, your child is ready if he displays this sign.

Now, does your child exhibit any two of these ready signs? If so, then get ready to do your potty training. You will never know those signs if you are not pay attention to their reaction.

Don’t worry about it.
