A horse probably already knows how to walk before you halter break and teach him to lead. But it is important to have a horse that will walk quietly and safely by your side as you lead him. It is best that a horse learns this as a very small baby. Restraint can be a very scary lesson for a horse. Always lead your horse while standing on the 'fore' side, his left. While teaching him to lead try not to get too far ahead and look back at him. Turning and looking back will cause him to slow or stop. Always praise him for any forward movement even 1 step. Practice leading every day 2 or 3 times a day for just a few minutes. Short lessons several times a day are better than 1 long lesson, especially if your working a young horse.
