Can you retrain a horse?

is it a ex race horse? if it is it you need to completely go back to basics as race horses are trained to race and not quietly plod along roads. You need to lunge lead and get him to listen to your voice. Introduce the saddle and again lead and lunge so he gets the feel of a completely different type of saddle on his back. You also have to get him used to you mounting from the ground or mounting block using the stirrups as jockeys are givern 'leg ups' this could upset the horse and cause a nasty accident. The best idea if you are not experienced enough or have the time would be to get someone who qualified. One of the best links out there is listed on the Leighton Farm website at http://www.leightonfarm.com/retrainingIntro.htm where Kimberly Clark wrote the book on retraining racehorses.
