Introduce Your Horse to His New Space

How to introduce your new horse to his new space? Here are some hints helping you out.

1. As your new horse comes off the trailer, slowly walk your horse around and allow him to sniff and watch whatever interests him. Now, give him time to walk around the area close to the stall or sheltered paddock where he will be staying.

2. Take your horse into the stall or paddock and walk him around, stopping at water, food and enrichment sources, as soon as he finished exploring outside of his new space.

3. Leave him in the stall or paddock, and observe his behavior for at least one hour before leaving him unattended.
