What is puling?

Puling refers to a horse's tendency to pull or resist the rider's attempts to slow down or stop. This can be caused by a variety of factors, including poor training, a lack of exercise or conditioning, physical discomfort or pain, or behavioral issues. Puling can be dangerous for both the horse and the rider, as it can cause the horse to become unbalanced and lose control. Effective ways to address puling include consistent training and conditioning, identifying and addressing any physical or behavioral issues, and using appropriate tack and equipment. It is important for riders to seek professional help and guidance if they are struggling with puling or any other equine-related issue.
