When I prepare a horse to be started under saddle, I want to be sure that I can communicate with him. Otherwise, I can’t explain all the new things to the horse. My goal is to establish a question-answer communication which is going both ways. This will allow me to truly involve the horse in the process.
We have to establish a commonly understood language with our horse. To achieve this, at first I like to use a game called Touch - It.
You can ask a horse to approach an object and investigate it - touch it. This game is based on the horse's natural curiosity. Most horses will learn it very easily. The objective is not to teach the trick of touching objects with the nose. The main objective is to establish a mutual conversation, a question/answer game.
