I have been walking my Connemara pony like a dog for the last seven years, and we have such a nice time together! Last week we saw a fantastic multi-coloured rainbow, and sometimes we even see some deer. One of my friend's golden setters has now decided to come along with us on our walks. We really are lucky to have such kind friends! Your article is so refreshing to read. I have been walking my Connemara pony like a dog for the last seven years, and we have such a nice time together!

I've had a horse for about 4 months now and we are getting to know and trust each other very well. I'm still looking for ways to bond with her. She's a rescue horse and is very skiddish going out for a ride, just the two of us, leaving the herd behind. I'll try walking her and see if that helps. My main goal is to continue to develop our relationship and give her a very trusting, consistent relationship. Thanks for the tip! I love this article.

I have been doing this with my 6yr old Standardbred gelding for over 18 mths now. He follows me everywhere when he is not being led by his halter. I take him for walks around the huge farm that I live on. If he cannot see me or doesn't know where I am, he will scream out and come galloping up to me. He has no other company but me, which has caused some problems. I have a very close bond with my gelding, but due to leg and back problems my gelding cannot be ridden. I have back problems as well which stops me from riding my gelding but we have our daily walks together so this helps both of us. I am 55 yrs old and have owned and been around horses since I was 8 yrs old. I hope my love of horses will continue until my last breath. I have always given horses an excellent home, with the best of feed and attention. Horses are truly beautiful animals and I am glad that I have been able to help give a horse a good home.

There are many more, but start with these to see what you think. All are informative and entertaining. Enjoy the ride, er, read! Over at Horse Approved, I enjoyed reading Mona’s post Walk Your Horse Like a Dog. Annie and I do this on those days when she and/or I are a bit out-of-sorts, walking around the property and trails surrounding our barn. I chat (who cares if others think I’m loopy) and she listens (horses are the best listeners).

I just got a new horse. Haven't owned one in years. She is a bit spooky and nervous. I didn't have any tack yet so I began walking her like a dog. It worked wonderfully! The scary over the creek hollow sounding bridge became old hat, the dogs down the road no problem, etc. Then when my tack came in she was ready to ride out in the neighborhood and did really well. I would recommend dog walking your horse to anyone. I love this article. I just got a new horse. Haven’t owned one in years. She is a bit spooky and nervous.
