Question
I just purchased a well trained horse but he only 6 and hasn't been ridden a whole lot. He is afraid of passing cars and anything else noisy as well as unfamiliar things. I have been bagging him, brushing him and walking him. I am hoping you may have some suggestions to help break him from being scared. I have watched some of your videos and they seem to help but I need more. Thank you

Answer
I have over 350 videos and my web site is over 500 pages of info, if you can't get it there, I can't help.

The horse is not the problem, you are, either you don't know, you are scared and the horse is feeding off you or the horse needs better leadership and help from you.
