Must-Haves For Trick Training

Horse Trainer Clinton Anderson

 

Trick Bridle:

The Trick Bridle offers much more leverage than a halter, and is especially useful when teaching tricks where the horse is initially resistant. The Trick Bridle features a headstall, smooth snaffle bit, slobber straps, leather chin strap and 8-foot loop reins.

 

The loop reins are made out of high quality marine yachting rope – they are durable, soft in your hands, and they won’t get slippery if they get wet or sweaty. The 8-foot length of the reins offers just the right amount of slack for teaching your horse tricks. Reins that are longer create too much slack, which makes it difficult to manage the reins.

 

 

Trick Stick:

The Trick Stick allows you to effectively cue your horse while teaching him tricks. It’s made with material that offers the right amount of give – it’s not so flimsy that the horse won’t take it seriously, and not so heavy or hard that the horse is scared or worried of it. 

 

It measures 39″ long, the right length to effectively teach tricks to horses. When you’re working up close to a horse, as you are during the majority of tricks, a longer stick is ineffective to apply pressure.

 

The stick features a rounded rubber tip so as not to harm the horse, and its ergonomic grip handle fits comfortably in your hand and won’t become slippery if wet or sweaty.
