Article: It’s important that you are confident in your ability to handle a horse. Horses can sense if you’re unsure, and might not follow your lead. Before training, make sure that you feel comfortable not only riding a horse, but caring for one.  If you’re not a skilled rider or handler, that’s okay. Take some riding lessons or ask a local stable if they need some help mucking out stalls. The more you’re around horses, the more confident you will feel. If you have a new horse but don’t feel comfortable training it, you can hire a trainer or ask a friend with more experience to help you. Like humans, horses have different temperaments. Before you start training, spend time just being with the horse and observing their nature. You can watch how they react when someone approaches or when you try to touch them.  Slowly allow the horse to get used to your touch by softly touching their face. You can speak softly to them so that they get used to your voice. Some horses are more skittish than others and that’s okay. Just know that you might have to spend more time getting them to trust you. As with any training program, it’s important to know what you want to accomplish. Before you begin your sessions, take some time to write down what you would like to teach your horse to do. You might include things like:  Working on a lunge line. Standing still for the vet or farrier. Tolerating a saddle and bridle. Allowing you to ride them. Loading themselves into a trailer.

Article: This may sound crazy, but it's actually a great rule of thumb when you're trying to speak kindly and mind your manners. You probably wouldn't curse someone out in front of your grandmother, even if you really, really want to. This is great when you absolutely have to be nice to someone but don't even know how to start. Whether or not you agree with them, they have got to feel heard. People often lash out at others because they feel like that is the only way they will be heard or taken seriously. Maintain eye contact and nod to convey that you're taking in their words.  Say things like, “I understand what you're saying.” This does NOT mean that you agree with it, but that you are taking in everything. Do not interrupt. Do not speak over them. Just let them say what they need to say. Tell them that you can see that they're angry or upset, and simply ask what you can do to alleviate their stress. Just offering this can help the situation immensely.  If you cannot do what they ask of you, try to find a compromise. Make effort to end the tense situation by being helpful. By asking them what they need, they also may realize that there isn't anything you can do personally. This might help them realize that they're taking their anger out on the wrong person. It's great to keep calm and speak kindly to them, but you can take it one step further to alleviate any tension or friction that may exist in the relationship. The most important thing is to be genuine and gracious, and a random act of kindness or a spontaneous favor can go a long way.  If you're dealing with a grumpy coworker, pick up an extra coffee for them in the morning. Not only will they appreciate the gesture, but the caffeine may improve their mood as well! Deliver sweet treats or flowers to a callous neighbor. It's a lovely favor that is outside of your comfort zone, and it will show them that you want a friendly relationship. Give them a handwritten note. Let them know what you appreciate about them or simply wish them a great day. Handwritten notes are less common nowadays, and they show the person that you've put in time and effort to brighten their day. The easiest way to be genuine is to be transparent with the other person. If you're doing them favor or giving them a gift because you want to improve your relationship, just say that! Clarify that your kindness is wholeheartedly sincere, and eliminate any suspicion of sarcasm or ulterior motives.
