"Your horse does that for one or both of two reasons: He's doing it because it's a bad habit he's learned and or because it's all part of his "flight or fight" programming. Nature has programmed him to head for the hills the instant he feels danger. Containing a horse's head is is a pretty clear sign to the untrained horse that something's amiss, so he struggles. And we react by fighting to keep him contained. And his flight turns into our fight.
Where to begin? Every time you touch those reins it just seems to escalate...
The simple tip that follows opens a back door, a way to sneak in and begin training the horse without him realizing that you've gotten one over on him. Use it anytime you need a starting point to begin working with a flighty horse. (If you're looking for more refined "finishing" exercises that teach proper carriage and the like, check out some of the other exercises published on this site or some of the books and videos offered.)"

"Horses require motivation during training – it's what keeps them trying to find the right answer. Maybe you're trying to teach the horse to move his shoulder. You pick up a rein, the pressure on the horse's mouth causes him to search for the release. He soon learns to move his shoulder over to get a release.) Something important to keep in mind is this: While some horses require a lot of motivation (read: pressure in your hand or legs), others may require very, very little. Assuming that all horses require a lot of motivation is asking for trouble. You've got to experiment to find out which horse you've got at the moment you're riding. "Over-motivating" an uppity horse will put too much energy into your horse; you'll have less control and he'll actually be less responsive. So, bottom line: How much motivation you apply depends upon the horse and it may take more – or less – than you first imagine. Experiment to find out what gets the best results."
