"The next step is to take your lunge whip, lasso, lead line or what-have-you and begin twirling it about. Get a little "rise" out of the horse, twirling it until his eyes grow wider or he raises his head, etc., then drop it and pet. You got it, it's the same process we've been following. Twirl the rope around, build to slapping the ground on either side of your horse, tapping him on all sides of his body – and finally bring it in (onto the horse) from totally unexpected directions, "out of the blue." Throw it up and over so that it's momentum carries it across his back and up onto his belly on the opposite side, up under his tail, around his hind legs, that sort of thing. Be careful to not stand in front of the horse if you're doing something that might cause him to lurch unexpectedly forward and of course stay away from the kick zone. Have fun with this and stay with it, ferreting out "don’t touch me there" spots until you couldn't find another if your life depended on it. (Hey, it sorta does)."

"If your horse went ballistic out on the trail last week... it didn't "just happen out of the blue." He's been telling you for weeks or months that he was going to lose it when enough pressure was applied every time he resisted (however slightly) the pull from your lead rope or reins.
If he walks ahead of you while you lead him, he's telling you that sooner or later he'll blow past you as you go through a gate or knock you on your kiester with his shoulder when something scares him bad enough.
If the muscles in his neck bulge toward you instead of relaxing when you put the bit in his mouth, he's telling you that he'll do mach sixty when he gets spooked on the trail.
Deal with these situations by doing two things: First establish a zero-tolerance policy; nip bad behavior in the bud the instant it happens. Example: If your horse inches past you as you lead, do an about-face and back that horse up. Keep him moving till he quits pushing back. (If he freezes pull on his head to pull his butt away from you. Getting those feet "unstuck" will allow you to keep backing till he lightens up.) Be adamant.
Second, get proactive. The first thing I do with any horse – and what I do each and everyday with all five of my own horses – is to see exactly where they stand when it comes to "resistance." Luckily the test and remedy are fun.
And having fun with this is a key point. Realize that every horse has resistance tucked away somewhere. Like an Easter egg, your job is to discover it. Instead of chocolate, your reward is a safer, more pleasant ride. The calmest, coolest, bestest trained horse you have ever seen has a little pocket of resistance hidden somewhere."
