Western horsemanship not only addresses the riding elements of horsemanship, but the total aspect of care, as well. These areas also include grooming and saddling. Taken together, this approach, which, incidentally, is more commonly known as natural horsemanship, focuses on the caring for a horse based on how that horse would react in a natural situation.

These behaviors are determined by observing how wild horses interact and carry themselves, and seek to utilize that behavior without going to great lengths to change it. The end result is a horse that is highly manageable due to the tremendous amount of trust the rider has instilled in that horse. If you are not familiar with an approach that produces those kinds of results, it might be a great time to take a look at how the natural, western technique can work for you and your horses.
