There are a few things you will need to know to accomplish this task.

  1. You need to learn how horses think so you can safely catch the horse.
  2. You need to be able to read horse body language so that you can be ready to reassure a nervous horse or assert yourself with a pushy one.
  3. You need to know what equipment must be used and, how to fit it.
