Horse Training Tips

My Kid Wants a Horse — What Now?

Horse Won’t Take the Bit?

You’re not alone — this is a common issue for many riders! One of the first things to check is your horse’s teeth. Sharp points, uneven wear, or dental discomfort can make taking the bit painful, leading to resistance or frustration.

Once dental issues are ruled out, gentle groundwork and desensitizing exercises can help your horse feel more relaxed and trusting during bridling. A calm, positive approach goes a long way in building that comfort and confidence.

Before buying a horse, we recommend at least a year of regular riding lessons. This helps your child build skills, confidence, and responsibility.

Our Youth Volunteer Program (ages 10+) lets kids experience what horse ownership is really like — from daily care and safety to handling and feeding.

Horses are wonderful companions but also a big commitment. Learning first ensures your child — and the horse — are set up for success.

First Things First

For your horse to comfortably accept the bit, they first need to learn how to lower their head. This helps prevent discomfort and reduces the risk of any potential accidents.
