Great explanation of an important part of our relationship with horses. Scratching the wither is an incredible powerful training tool that is well worth mastering

[@myraking1792]

I've been doing this for over thirty years. It works well after a bad shy to get the horse calm again.

Loved this, especially for my busy minded Welsh Cob. Will try this mounted the next time he sees a monster.

Are there any studies available in terms of horse - human attachment?

[@EquitationScienceInternational]

There are a number of different studies if you do a google scholar search, but here is a link to one Andrew was involved with, on human-horse attachment: www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S155878781400063X?via%3Dihub Others that might be of interest are: www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S016815912030232X#bib0030 www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S0376635715300498

What does it mean to "throw" a horse?!

[@Horsingabout]

And don't bugger it up by sticking steel in its mouth!
