Horse Playground

COMMUNICATION: Horses cannot communicate with humans in human terms. Therefore, it is our responsibility to develop a language that our horses understand. But how do we accomplish that when humans and horses are essentially opposites? Humans, by nature, are predators while horses are prey. Respecting this difference is the key to building communication with horses and playground equipment helps to bridge this communication gap.

CONFIDENCE: When you introduce your horse to new objects, each success increases that horse’s confidence in facing new situations. It also builds your confidence that you and the horse can handle new challenges together. And that confidence in each other makes being together FUN!

RESPECT: Horses are looking for leadership. The playground elements create a focus for a person’s expectations. Being clear and specific in what you are asking your horse to do, and rewarding the horse for trying, builds your leadership and your horse’s respect for you.

TRUST: With strong communication, confidence and respect comes trust - the foundation of true harmony between humans and horses.

Horse Playground equipment works for every type of horse and owner regardless of breed or discipline. They can be used to improve both ground and riding skills. We used to work with our horses, but now we play with them.
