Horse becoming dominant: Rick Gore Horsemanship

Question
I started having a problem with my trained horse. The barn has new people working there who no little or nothing about turning out horses. They were there one week and my horse started having problems with his halter and head. He didn't want me to touch his head or ears. At first I thought it was bugs in his ears, it took a while to figure out it was the new turn out procedure in the mornings that was the start of the troubles. I have been nice about touching his ears, not working. I have been getting him to move his feet, not working. He also pulled back and broke his nice leather halter, my mistake. Didn't think he would do that. Every day he does something new and more aggressive. I'm thinking of tying him to a big ol tree with a nylon rope and his rope halter with no buckles and a plastic bag at the end of the lounge whip and shake it and then see about touching his ears and trying to bridle him. What do you think about that ?? To aggressive??

Answer
Absolutely not the right answer. The horse is not doing this for no reason. The people handling your horse is casing this. Making the horse pay is not the right answer, how about you sneak out early and watch the people handling your horse. My guess is you will see, hard hands, yanking and hitting, pulling and aggressive behavior and scaring and being mean to the horse. Don't focus on the horse as the problem, most problems are people problems not horse problems.

Your horse is telling you what is going on and you are too busy about showing him who is boss and wanting to tie him up and scare the crap out of him.

Your questions tells me you have not read my site or watch me videos and if you have you and missed the point and not learned much.

How about trying to protect your horse and find out what and who caused these changes? how about giving your horse the benefit of doubt and trusting that he was a good well behaved horse and now someone has caused him to change or has trained him to do what he is doing????
