🐴 PARENTS, SOMETIMES YOU'RE MAKING YOUR CHILD MORE NERVOUS WITHOUT EVEN REALIZING IT.
Now, before anybody gets their feathers ruffled, hear me out! 😆
I've been teaching riding lessons long enough to recognize when a child is no longer concentrating on their horse.
And sometimes, it's not because they don't understand what I'm teaching.
It's because they're trying to listen to TWO people at once.
Their instructor is telling them one thing, while Mom or Dad is hollering something else from the tence.
And suddenly, that kid who was doing just fine five minutes ago is making mistakes, getting frustrated, and second-guessing EVERYTHING.Here's what I think parents sometimes don't realize...
Your child wants to make you proud.
They want you to think they're doing a good job.
And when you're constantly correcting them from the sidelines, some kids start worrying more about disappointing YOU than concentrating on what they're supposed to be learning.
Now add a nervous parent to an already nervous child...
And we've got two people worrying and one poor horse trying to figure out what everybody wants!😆

Here's something I wish more parents understood.
When you pay a riding instructor to teach your child, you're not just paying someone to tell them what to do.You're trusting that instructor to help your child learn, make mistakes, solve problems, and develop confidence.
And sometimes, the BEST thing you can do as a parent is simply sit back and let that happen.
Let the instructor instruct.
Let your child think.
Let them make a mistake without five people immediately telling them what they did wrong.
And when they finish their lesson?
Ask them what they LEARNED instead of immediately pointing out what they messed up.
Because confidence grows when kids learn to trust their own decisions, not when they're constantly worried about everybody else's reactions. ❤️

NOW, I WANT TO HEAR FROM Y'ALL!
Parents, have you ever caught yourself getting more nervous than your child?
And riding instructors, have you ever watched a student's entire attitude change because of pressure coming from outside the arena?
Let's have a good conversation about this! 👇 🐴

We asked one of our young students what her aspirations and goals were for next years show/4H season.
With careful thought, she stated through some giggles and smiles. More canter classes and more confidence in cantering.

7 FUN FACTS ABOUT HOW HORSES UNDERSTAND OUR WORDS

1. Horses really can learn individual words.
Horses can learn that a particular spoken word predicts or represents something specific. With repetition and experience, a sound that initially means nothing can become a meaningful cue.

2. They aren’t just memorizing your voice.
In a 2024 study, horses learned a completely unfamiliar word and were later able to recognize it when it was spoken by people they had never heard before. That suggests they had learned something about the word itself—not simply the trainer’s particular voice.

3. Horses can recognize people by their voices.
Horses can connect the sound of a familiar person’s voice with that person. Researchers have even found that horses notice when the voice they hear doesn’t match the person they see.

4. Tone of voice carries information too.
Horses can distinguish emotional information in human voices. So what we say and how we say it may be giving them two different kinds of information at once.

5. Words become meaningful through experience.
A horse isn’t born knowing that “whoa” means stop or “walk” means move forward. The sound gains meaning because it repeatedly occurs alongside an action, situation or consequence. Eventually, the word itself can become a cue.

6. Your horse may be listening to much more than the word.
When we give a verbal cue, the horse may also be reading our posture, movement, hands, legs, facial expression and the situation around them. Sometimes we think the horse knows the word when he may actually be using several clues at once.

7. Consistency makes words much easier to learn.
If “walk,” “walk on,” “come on,” “let’s go” and “okay, go” all mean the same thing, the horse has to sort through a lot of unnecessary information. Using the same distinctive word for the same thing gives him a much clearer signal to learn.

So, does your horse know what you’re saying?

Probably more than we once gave them credit for—but not necessarily in the way we understand language.

To a horse, a familiar word can become meaningful through learning and experience. And while he is listening to the word, he may also be figuring out who is speaking, how they sound, what their body is doing and what usually happens next.

Your horse isn’t just hearing you.

He’s learning what your sounds mean.

I think many of us already knew that ❤️🐴🥕
