Interesting thread. Maybe even great in some cases.

Break a horse, break their spirit . Train a horse will get a willing partner.

Break a horse is a figure of speech.

The confusion with breaking is two fold.
Old bronc fighters had to gentle wild older mustang types.
They often needed the fighting spirit “ broke”
Now “broke” refers to giving to the bit and taking an out line.
The term used is “ breaking “ at the poll.
It’s beneficial to take an outline and arch their back.
Brings the hind quarters under the rider and improves propulsion/ performance

I tried to, if like Tigger, my top was made out of rubber, and my bottom was made out of spring, I'd done better.  Or, if I'd have known what I was doing.  I’ve ridden a few, but I always tried not to break one…..I didn’t want to have to buy the darn thing! 😉 memtb

Now days,it is called colt starting guess.
Years ago though, I did a guided elk hunt in Alberta near the govt ranch up there.They raised horses for use in the national parks.They halter broke them at weaning and then turned them out until they were three year olds. Then they brought them back in.These were big stout 15 &1/2 -16 hd horses. They sure had some buck in them.
This was before all this horse whispering and such.They had two guys up there that would get on them and ride the buck out of them.Then someone else would take them and finish them out

Thank goodness they invented cars.

When it comes to personal relationships avoid horse women.

We had 2 brood mares Arabians and raised a few.
never broke them but started them with saddle blankets and lunge ropes around 2 years old.
Then just a saddle at 3 then rider at 4.
When most horses are young they get broke for riders young and it seems to shorten their riding life.
Rode a lot of young ones and had to get them out of some bad habits.
It was fun.

Been around as long as we’ve had domesticated horses. But it didn’t play well in movies or books. What’s new is folks buying a how-to on video and going on to proclaim themselves experts.

Not really. But when I was about 12 I was on a big mare when the German Shepherd that was with us decided to jump up and bite her on the flank. I don't know why.
She bucked a bit at first, but then decided it was easier to get me off by taking off through the woods and running past a tree with a limb sticking out that caught me about chest high.
I did a reverse half gainer off her back and landed in a heap,...dazed and confused. It took me a long time to get close enough to her to get the saddle off.
Horses are smarter than most people know.
I ain't liked German Shepherds since.
