EditSteps

  1. 1
    Earn your horse's trust. After that your Arab will walk over an electric fence if you ask him to.
  2. 2
    After you have earned your horse's trust, try new things that your horse isn't used to that you have always wanted to try. However, take it slowly and give your horse support because he will want to please you, but is sometimes scared about novelty.
  3. 3
    When your horse is scared, try singing or humming. Even just talking to them can help calm your horse down.
  4. 4
    When you know your horse, what scares him and what calms him down, use this method regularly.

EditTips

  • When disciplining an Arabian just remember that if you are too harsh, like beating them severely it will really make an impression on them, like the old saying goes 'if you give a critter a lesson on meanness, don't be surprised when it learns its lesson'.
  • Also Arabians are desert horses. In the winter they may need sweet feed to keep their weight. Again it depends on your horse.
  • Once your Arabian trusts you, he feels connected to you, So be mindful of that.

EditWarnings

  • Arabians are very spirited so when they have lots of energy don't be surprised if they don't want to go for a slow walk.
  • Especially for grey Arabians they are prone to cysts (which could become cancerous). These are often underneath the tail, so make sure you ask a veterinarian about it.
