​Modifying training and horse keeping techniques

​

• Using visual cues on the ground (shining light)

• Using Tactile cues under saddle

• Using body language

• Using hand signals

  • For communication, commands, feedback, and praise.

• Using sense of smell

• Using vibration signals (tapping the ground)

• Give warning

  • Give them hint such as touch hindquarters or come from front

• Give awareness of surroundings

• The horse’s ear position tells us about horse mode. A horse’s ears can move 180 degrees to get info from all sources. For deaf horses, this information is limited, so the handler should provide surrounding awareness to horse.
