If you are a regular in the world of horses, you have to have had heaps of occasions to notice the apparent ease with which professional horse trainers make horses do precisely what they want? The same horses that continuously played truant with their owners. The trainers make it all look so effortless, like they are really capable of some kind of special communication with horses. It can be mystifying? What does your trainer have that you don't? It's all the more confusing because you've got the distinct impression that the majority of the professionals don't bother with horse temperament typing. Should you also stop bothering?
Before you answer that question , think about this: it could be true that not all professional trainers are familiar with Five-Element typing, but they more than make up with the instincts they have developed over time. They are able to read a horse and classify him accurately within a very short time. They have read hundreds and maybe thousands of horses, and now it has become instinctive to them. A professional trainer talks the horse talk and walks the pony walk.
Greenhorn Pony Owners and Temperament Types
The average pony owner like me and you, inversely, has not handled that many horses. We continue to blunder our way forward with our horses. We pride ourselves on having the Five-Element typing system at our finger tips, but we are sadly inadequate at establishing the kind of command over horses the professionals demonstrate time and again.
Nevertheless understanding of the temperamental types does have its uses. See how these tips help you out, if you follow them faithfully, you will definitely see great results, though you may not qualify to be called a professional coach.
The Fire Pony
The Fire horse attaches great importance to relationships. If you'd like to get along with him, you need to spend a ton of time grooming him and generally lurking around with him. Even if provoked, avoid using vicious words with a Fire pony. Always try and persuade him into doing what you need. Never stint on the praise when he does things right.
The Earth Horse
Food is the center of the Earth horse's universe. He is totally unambitious, and you would have to do some hard pushing to get him to make an extra effort. When he ultimately does what you want, put him out to graze and take a rest. It is a reward he'll be enthusiastically anticipating.
The Metal Horse
No Metal horse worth his salt will go out of his way for someone he has no respect for. He gives you respect if you're fair. If you're teaching him something, break it up into bite size bites that follow each other logically. He could be a slow but a particularly sure learner, and he never forgets what he learns. You need to use this characteristic of his to boost his confidence with frequent repetition. You might find it uninteresting, but you will earn the total respect of your Metal pony because you persevered with him till he soaked up everything.
The Water Pony
Trust makes the Water pony tick. He is equally adept at sensing the assurance of a professional horse trainer and the nervous tension of a newcomer. Keep your Water pony safe from distressing situations where you are not in total control and are in a position to support him whichever way is required.
The Wood Horse
The Wood pony is perhaps the most difficult type for the amateur coach. This is so because the Wood pony craves challenges. Beginners are not experienced and able enough to maintain training at such an engaging speed the Wood pony gets engrossed and becomes bored. When bored, a Wood horse can be anything from mildly annoying to clearly dangerous. When you try and fight with this sort, you are letting him have his way. The best option is to redirect his energies and make him so uncomfortable with bad behavior he abandons it.
