Working cow horse is a type of equine therapy that uses a horse to help people who have physical or emotional disabilities. The horse is trained to understand basic commands such as “come,” “walk,” “stand,” “stop,” “turn left,” “turn right,” “back up,” “sit down,” “stand up,” etc. The horse is also trained to respond to hand signals from the person so that they can communicate with each other. Working with a horse requires a high level of trust and communication between horse and rider. The following are examples of common working horse techniques that are used in equestrian therapy:

The handler also needs to be able to give the horse positive feedback when they are doing something correctly. For example, if the handler wants the horse to walk in a straight line, they need to give the horse a verbal cue and a hand signal to let them know when they are doing it correctly. If the handler wants the horse to stop moving, they need to give the horse a verbal cue and a hand signal to let them know when they are doing it correctly.
