How To Teach A Horse To Come When Called 🐴

In this video, I discuss how to teach a horse to come when called. This is a great skill to have to not only save time but also to build a stronger bond between you and your horse.

In this lesson, I worked with Harley who had never been taught how to come when called. I demonstrate his before and after the result and then go into a quick overview of the steps I did to achieve this. You can use the tips I showed to teach a horse to come to you by a hand signal, whistle, name, or anything else you choose.

In order to have success, it is important to understand how to lunge a horse, work in a round pen, and at liberty. I like to do these in a relaxed and gentle way where the horse is bonding and learning to focus on me. It's also important to have an understanding of the body language of your horse and how your body influences it. This can be taught to any horse, but remember it does take some repetition. Many horses will pick the cue up in just a few sessions and others may take several sessions over the course of a few months.

If you are a beginner learning how to get a horse to come to you I recommend working with a local professional. You also can submit a video if you like through my website 😊

I wish you success in teaching your horse to come to you! Feel Free to leave any questions :)
