Breaking horses is a term that means training a horse to do what you ask, but this is a phrase that is being used less and less among horse trainers as it has negative connotations.
Other traditional phrases are:
- break a horse
- breaking a horse in
- breaking in a horse
- horse breaking in
- horse breaking and training
These are now more frequently referred to as ‘backing a horse’. With clicker training, Amanda has been successfully training horses and has also backed horses (including stallions).
