Horse Behavior: Halter Breaking a Foal

After viewing the video, you should identify pressure on the lead by the handler as a very simple and basic cue. The handler is asking the horse to give to pressure and follow his nose with a step to the side. The handler rewards the slightest bit of try on the foals part by releasing the lead pressure. If the foal refuses to give, the handler reinforces the initial cue by keeping pressure on the lead until the foal gives in to the pressure. Finally, once the horse has softened up and is responsive to the handler, he is rewarded by a gentle rub on the neck and a relaxed lead.
