HORSE WON'T LET you touch its EARS, how to fix it?
This mare, named Mora, has already begun her training, but she has received very little handling. According to Saskya, her owner, she has only been ridden about three times.
Her main problem is that she doesn't like being touched, especially her ears, which also makes it difficult to put on the halter, working halter, and hackamore. Saskya has been trying to handle her ears for a month and says the mare is improving, but she still won't allow it. Saskya says the mare is afraid.
After Guillón worked with her, we can draw these conclusions:
The mare isn't wary of environmental stimuli; she's wary of Saskya's sudden and abrupt movements.
The mare isn't afraid of having her ears touched; she's simply practicing behaviors that have worked for her to avoid having them grabbed. It's not "I'm afraid," it's "I don't want to." If Saskya spent a month trying to solve a problem that Guillón solved in 12 minutes, it's very likely that Saskya's methodology was repetitive, boring, and tedious for the mare—factors that contribute to generating resistance in the animal.
We often see comments on our social media like, "I would do the same as Guillón, but not in a day, rather in a couple of months." These people would fall into the same procedural error that Saskya made. It's worth mentioning that these procedures, which cause resistance in the horse due to improper handling by humans, are mostly due to the person's lack of knowledge. This is why Guillón is always willing to teach those who want to learn.

🔷Natural Horsemanship (NHM) is a tool for modifying equine behavior.
Created by Chico Ramirez in 1988, it's a system that works with all horses and in any branch or activity of equestrianism.
Guillon Ramirez is Chico's son, who has learned Natural Horsemanship since childhood. A Veterinarian with a Master's degree in Ethology and Behavioral Ecology, he teaches courses, rehabilitates horses, and conducts demonstrations, bringing Natural Horsemanship to different countries.
