A lot of horse trainers who spend significant time with horses in order to improve their performance in different disciplines struggle with the right motivation for their horses. The most common method that we have already discussed is offering them food because it is a way how to keep them moving.
Another one, which I think is amazing is letting them have fun with their favorite activities after you have found out what does your horse likes to do. For example, if they like swimming, you can take some time off and send them to a beach or river.
For those who still struggle to find a way how to keep your horses motivated while getting trained a group of scientists has come up with a great way how to keep them motivated. A newly developed music training system for horses and riders was showcased in Paris.
The company HorseCom specializes in designing and developing Bluetooth technologies for horses and their riders in order “to enhance the abilities, well-being, and performance of horses.” A horse can listen to any kind of music as its headset can be connected through Bluetooth to any music device such as an iPod or iPhone. Amazing, isn’t it? Please watch the video below to see how it works.
