What is the best way to break a horse?

Answer 1

I assume green breaking a horse here.

I start by lunging the horse daily and getting that portion of the work out of the way.

Round pens work great for this.

Then I add a blanket and a strap pad. Same thing.. lots if lunging

Next I add a saddle and more pen work.

Finally I start adding my weight slowly. After a few days, I try to sit in the saddle.

The time goes by so fast. Don't start too early though. Three is plenty early!

Answer 2

It means to tame it for domestic purposes such as pulling a buggy. It does not mean physically breaking it.
