Horses are very complex animals that started out as being used for work such as plowing fields
and even used in war, now we use them mainly for pleasure, or even therapy. Just like dogs though they
have to be trained it’s not just something that comes to them naturally. There are many different ways
to train horses but the main key is patience, without patience you will most likely get aggravated and
not get the response that you want.
This source talks about how to train horses and even tells beginner riders on how to ride. It explains
different techniques in how to get your horse to listen to you and do what you expect it to. This source is
definitely creditable because it’s from a professional horse trainer from Australia who is known nationwide.
He has proven himself to me and I find him very inspirational. He knows what he’s talking about and will
walk you step by step through what you are wanting to learn how to do.

This source is very useful because it tells you what you need to know before training horses, it
tells you about how to train your horses, how to teach them other specific tricks, problems with training
and behavior, and advanced training options. I think this source is good for people who are beginning
the training process with their horse, it makes sure that the reader is informed of all of the steps to
training not basing it off of someone who probably already knows a decent amount of information
about training horses. There are a few things throughout that I don’t completely agree with but overall I
think this source is very informative. I believe that the writer is well educated in this topic because she
was raised around horses and grew up training them, a lot of her ideas also agree with what my ideas
are.
Blocksdorf, Katherine . "Horse Training." About.com Horses. about.com, n.d. Web. .
<http://horses.about.com/od/buyingyourfirsthorse/u/horsebuyingpath.htm>.
This source goes in depth about specific types of training such as western pleasure, English,
endurance riding which are all different styles of riding and some actually have specific breeds of
horses associated with what they are trained for. It goes through the steps of how to train your horse
for this specific type of riding so that way you can hopefully get the best results from your time put in.
I feel like this source is creditable because of the fact it comes from horse channel which is highly
known for the information that they give about horses. There isn’t exactly one writer of this because
it provides links to other articles that gives the information about each type of training. I wish that
they would make things easier to find the artists and have the information all on one page.
"Horse Training." Horse Training. horse channel , n.d. Web. . <http://www.horsechannel.com/horsetraining/>.
This source is very brief about how to start with training horses. It doesn’t go in depth about how to
make things work and how to make sure that things go your way but it does tell you all of the basics on what to
do. It brushes the surface of what the main steps are going to be. I’m not exactly sure if I want to say this
source shows proper credential but it does have some good information that relates to a lot of other thoughts
that people including me have.

<http%3A%2F%2Fwww.horses-and-horse-information.com%2Farticles%2Fhorse-trainingyoung.shtml>.
This source walks you through what you can do with training horses on the ground, riding them, and
even on how to help solve some common problems that horses have. Once again I believe that his source is
very creditable because it is professional horse trainers a man and his wife. Granted I haven’t seen them live
like I have Clinton Anderson his videos seem like he knows what he’s doing and I like the methods that he
shows. Although with anything I’m not going to agree with every aspect of it.

Many people don’t like using Wikipedia and think that it isn’t creditable but it kind of is. There is
information that is useful and true but there are some things that aren’t right. It’s always a good idea to
make sure that the information is on another source.
"Horse Training." Wikipedia. Wikimedia Foundation, 18 Apr. 2014. Web. 23 Apr. 2014.
<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Horse_training>.
This source gives me another person perspective and I feel like she really knows what she is
talking about. She emphasizes the fact of making sure that you have confidence. She gives you her
opinions and doesn’t tell you just what you want to hear. I would say it’s creditable because I mean it’s
just basic opinion, there is no right or wrong way to train a horse.
"Horse Behavior- Training." Horse Behavior- Training. N.p., n.d. Web. 23 Apr. 2014.
<http://www.horseswithamie.com/training/training.html>.
This source tells you on how to train a horse to run barrels. They tells you step by step on the
easiest way to train horses to run barrels. I feel this source is creditable because they agree with a lot of
other sites on how to train barrel horses and as mentioned before there is no right or wrong way to
train horses.
"Home." Home. N.p., n.d. Web. 23 Apr. 2014. <https://www.trainingbarrelhorses.com/>.
This is really the only site that I found that explains training horses for trick riding so I used the
information that I could use since I had nothing else really. I wouldn’t say this is creditable or not
creditable it’s just kind of there. There isn’t anything else for me to compare it to.
"Horse Tricks 101." Horse Tricks 101. N.p., n.d. Web. 23 Apr. 2014.
<http://www.horsetricks101.com/>.
This source talks about how to train horses and makes sure they tell you all of the basics. I like
the fact that they include videos that show you what you’re doing not just telling you. It has a lot of
information from many different people and their perspectives showing there is no right or wrong way.
