How Do I Keep A Horse Calm Along A Parade Route?

Calming An Excited Horse In A Parade

If your horse is becoming unsettled along the route from the crowds or the closeness or the activity, try softly whistling or singing very quietly to the horse. I had one mare that if I waved and greeted the crowds, she was a lathered mess; when I quietly sang and waved to the crowds, she pranced along in a beautiful calm and strutty fashion! So have a GREAT GOOD GO! and get all glitzy, and enjoy the glory!
