Horse Training Advice from Cash

I was given this great advice. "Discover our horse's favorite scratching place."

With some of my horses it is very easy but with others it can be tricky and sometimes I can't find it at all with a few. But what I have found is this simple task can change how your horse looks at you! It's as if they suddenly find you useful! :0) And you are!

Every time this has created a stronger trusting bond with my horses.

Here are a few favorites with many horses you might want to try.
The lower neck/chest area, the withers (one horse will do this with another), the dock of the tail or on either side of the tail and the belly button.

Basically, I think first wherever they cannot reach I start with.

Where is your horse's favorite spot?
