Round Pen: The Great Equalizer Round Pen: The Great Equalizer

Although many horsemen and trainers extol the virtues of the round pen, many horse owners still overlook just how powerful such a pen can be in developing or maintaining a relationship with a horse. Selv om mange horsemen og undervisere bermme de dyder i runde kuglepen, mange heste-ejere stadig overse, hvor stærk en sådan pen kan være i at udvikle eller opretholde en forbindelse med en hest. This is a shame because it is truly what I call the Great Equalizer in a horse-human relationship. Det er en skam, fordi det er virkelig det, jeg kalder den Store Equalizer på en hest-menneskelige relationer. Perhaps that bears some clarification? Måske bærer en afklaring?

I've found many horse owners to be concerned about their physical strength as opposed to that of their horse. Jeg har fundet mange heste-ejere til at være bekymrede over deres fysiske styrke i modsætning til, at deres hest. They fear they simply cannot firmly establish themselves as the alpha, or leader, of the relationship because the horse is so much stronger. De frygter, de kan simpelthen ikke fast etablere sig som alpha, eller leder, af forholdet, fordi hesten er så meget stærkere. Thus when their horse displays poor ground manners or commits an inappropriate action they are more prone to ignore it and hope it doesn't develop into worse behaviors. Således når deres hest viser fattige jorden manerer eller forpligter en upassende handling de er mere tilbøjelige til at ignorere det og håber, at det ikke udvikler sig til en dårligere adfærd. After all, what choice do they have? Når alt kommer til alt, hvad valget har de? The horse is just too strong. Hesten er bare for stærk.

The reality is that, except for the youngest of foals, a horse will always possess more raw strength than a human. Virkeligheden er, at bortset fra den yngste af føl, en hest vil altid have mere rå styrke end et menneske. Any attempts to overpower a horse with sheer strength are doomed to fail. Ethvert forsøg på at overmande en hest med spring styrke er dømt til at mislykkes. Techniques such as raising your voice towards or slapping a misbehaving horse do not rely on strength - they are psychological. Teknikker såsom hæve din stemme mod eller slapping en opfører sig korrekt hest ikke stole på styrke - de er psykisk. The horse does not want the conflict to escalate as it is uncertain exactly what your capabilities are, therefore it submits. Hesten ikke ønsker konflikten til at eskalere, som det er usikkert, præcis, hvad dine muligheder er derfor det har gjort.

Of course there are exceptions, and truth be told such techniques are best used on already-trained horses or in situations where you cannot properly establish your authority due to lack of time or proper surroundings. Naturligvis er der undtagelser, og sandheden skal sådanne teknikker er bedst brugt på den allerede uddannede heste eller i situationer, hvor du ikke kan oprette din myndighed på grund af manglende tid eller ordentlig omgivelser. The best way to instill respect and discipline into a naughty horse is by incorporating the Great Equalizer: the round pen. Den bedste måde at instill respekt og disciplin ind i en uartig hest er ved at indarbejde Great Equalizer: den runde pen.

Whereas many people view a round pen as a means for exercise (and it is true that it's a great exercise tool), the true power behind the round pen is its ability to establish dominance in a completely non-forceful method. Henviser til, at mange mennesker se en runde pen som et middel til at udøve (og det er rigtigt, at det er en stor øvelse værktøj), den sande magt bag de runde pen er dens evne til at etablere dominans i en fuldstændig ikke-insisterende metode. In the round pen, physical strength means very little. I runde kuglepen, fysisk styrke betyder meget lidt. It is a quick and easy (as opposed to other methods) technique to make your alpha status known. Det er en hurtig og nem (i modsætning til andre metoder) teknik for at gøre din alpha status kendt.

Allow me to share an example that will better illustrate why a round pen will serve you better than strength. Tillad mig at dele et eksempel, som vil bedre kunne illustrere, hvorfor en runde pen vil tjene dig bedre end styrke.

I once owned a willful young colt raised by a first-time mother, so unfortunately the mare wasn't all that familiar with the need to discipline her colt. Jeg har selv engang ejet en willful unge Colt rejst af en første gang mor, så desværre hoppen var ikke alle, der kender behovet for at disciplinere hende Colt. In fact although the colt was really quite a nice horse, he was unruly and tended to do whatever he wanted from day one. I virkeligheden selv om Colt var virkelig en ganske pæn hest, han var uregerlige og en tendens til at gøre, hvad han ønskede fra dag ét. An experienced mare would not have permitted such antics, and had she "laid down the law" better from the first day the colt would likely have been a little less rambunctious. En erfaren hoppen ikke ville have tilladt en sådan fjollerier, og havde hun ", der er fastsat i loven" bedre fra den første dag i Colt ville sandsynligvis have været en smule mindre rambunctious.

Soon it came time to provide halter and lead training to this young upstart, and true to his form he made sure the task was trying. Snart kom det tid til at give halter og føre uddannelse til denne unge opkomling, og sandt at hans form han sikret sig den opgave var at forsøge. Although more than willing to walk with you, he felt there was little need to do so in an orderly fashion. Selv om mere end villige til at gå med dig, han følte, der var lidt nødt til at gøre det på en ordentlig måde. If he "accidentally" bumped into you, or strayed so far from your side that you had to cling to the lead line with an iron grip, so be it. Hvis han "uheld" bumped til dig, eller strayed så langt fra Deres side, som du havde at holde fast i føringen linje med en jern greb, så må det være sådan. Snapping or jerking the lead line didn't impress him much. Snapping eller rykkende i spidsen linje ikke imponere ham meget.

Even worse, as a colt develops into a mature stallion they often can become very "nippy." Endnu værre er det, som en Colt udvikler sig til et modent hingst de ofte kan blive meget "nippy." This one was no different at first. Det var ikke anderledes end ved første. Just as he did with his mother, he would sneak tiny bites and nips when you weren't watching, and although there wasn't mean intent behind them let's face it - they hurt! Præcis som han gjorde med sin mor, han ville snige små bider og NIP, når du ikke ser, og selv om der ikke var ensbetydende med forsæt bag dem lad os se det i øjnene - de gør ondt!

Anytime a horse strikes at you (and a nip should be considered a strike) it's important that you retaliate with conviction so they think twice about doing so again. Anytime en hest strejker på dig (og en dram bør betragtes som en strejke) er det vigtigt, at du modangreb med overbevisning, så de tænke sig om to gange om at gøre det igen. But when I would give this colt a fairly light slap he would almost smirk to himself and try to nip me again! Men når jeg vil give denne Colt en forholdsvis lette slag han ville næsten smrret grin med sig selv og forsøge at kvæle mig igen! Was he being mean-spirited? Blev han bliver smålige? No! Nej! This colt grew up with no significant discipline from his mother and no fear of humans - we imprinted him from birth and thus he trusted us. Denne Colt voksede op med nogen væsentlig disciplin fra sin mor og ikke bange for mennesker - vi har indsat ham fra fødslen og dermed han har tillid til os. Since he did not fear me, he thought I was engaging in some horseplay as any other colt would do. Da han ikke er bange for mig, han troede, at jeg var engagere sig i nogle horseplay som enhver anden Colt ville gøre.

A slap, as harsh as it sounds to us, is not always about force. Et slag, så barske som det lyder til os, er ikke altid ca kraft. It generally does not cause a horse much pain, but rather it is intended as a shock technique for a horse that already recognizes you as an alpha. Det generelt ikke forårsager en hest meget smerte, men det er tænkt som et chok teknik for en hest, der allerede har registreret dig som en alpha. Since this colt saw me as a playmate and equal, he possessed no fear of my slaps - my choice was to either escalate the physical force (which is generally not my first choice) or establish my dominance in a gentle way via the round pen. Da denne Colt så mig som en Playmate og lige, han besad ikke bange for min slår - mit valg var enten at eskalere den fysiske kraft (der generelt ikke er mit første valg) eller opretter min dominans i en blid måde via runde pen.

Once I established that slaps or verbal growls would not have any effect on this colt, anytime he would nip at me or try my patience with his rebellious ways we would march straight to the round pen or enclosed paddock. Når jeg har konstateret, at der slår eller verbal growls ikke ville have nogen virkning på dette Colt, når som helst han ville kvæle på mig, eller prøv min tålmodighed med hans oprørske måder vi ville marts lige til runde pen eller lukket Paddock. While this colt found the notion amusing for the first five minutes or so, eventually the round pen will drain the "oats" from nearly any horse and he was no different. Mens dette Colt fundet begrebet morsomt for de første fem minutter eller deromkring, i sidste runde pen vil dræne "havre" fra næsten enhver hest, og han var ikke anderledes.

With consistent round pen work, this colt soon learned that I wasn't a simple playmate - I was his leader. Med en konsekvent runde pen arbejde, dette Colt hurtigt lært, at jeg ikke var en simpel playmate - Jeg var hans leder. Although we could still enjoy each other's company, it had to be on terms that were agreeable to the both of us (no more black and blues!). Selv om vi kunne stadig nyde hinandens selskab, måtte det på vilkår, som var acceptabel for begge af os (ikke mere sort og blues!). Due to consistent round pen work, the leading, nipping and general disrespect issues became a thing of the past. På grund af konsekvent runde pen arbejde, de førende, nipping og generel mangel på respekt spørgsmål blev en saga blot.

I hope my example of this young colt showed the folly of depending upon physical force to achieve your goals - "outgunning" a horse is not easy, practical or desirable. Jeg håber mit eksempel på denne unge Colt viste det tåbeligt af afhængigt af fysisk magt til at nå dine mål - "outgunning" en hest er ikke let, praktisk eller ønskelig. Never accept poor behavior and do not feel your authority is measured solely by your raw strength; both are mistakes that are all too commonly committed by horse owners. Aldrig acceptere dårlig opførsel og ikke føler din myndighed måles alene ved Deres rå styrke; begge er fejl, der er alt for almindeligt begået af heste-ejere. Instead consider the use of a round pen (or in a pinch you can use a longe line) and find out how easy training and discipline can be when using the Great Equalizer. I stedet overveje at anvende en runde pen (eller i en knivspids kan du bruge en longe line) og finde ud af, hvor let træning og disciplin kan være, når du bruger Great Equalizer.
