DECA The Macho Man
(Dominant Energetic Curious Aloof)

 

If you have a serious job to do, this is the horse for it. You will have to get out of the way and allow them some freedom in how they do it. Sit down, shut up and hold on! It is initially hard to get them to accept that you do know what you are talking about, so training in the beginning can be challenging. Use psychology and variety and start them into their career at a very early age.

Do

Honor them
Give them a job
Treat them with respect
Give them variety
Ride them a lot

Don’t

Fight with them
Be a taskmaster
Fuss over them
Bore them
“Pick” at them
