Dear Keith...
Wednesday, February 21, 2007
Hi there. I have a problelm with a horse has never been worked with when it come asking him to back up. I have never had problems from any horse when it comes to asking them to back up.
this horse is 4-5 year stud. he loves to show he want to get away with so much.
I know this horse got away with so many things.
I am having problems while I am riding him he dosent want to back up. he would start rareing his head up and rareaing up on his back feet couple of times. then I found out that this horse has never been worked with on backing up.
is there any advice you give me or new tips that will help.
he broke to ride, he responsed to lot other things I can ask him trun right in a cricle. both ways. ask to go forward and stop and trun right and left. no problems just backing up is the hard one for this one.
please email me for tips thank you
for your time

Suggested Article: "Get Your Back Up"
"When you're teaching your horse to back up, remember that the farther you back up, the worse your back up gets. Think of it this way: If you want your horse to quiet down at a lope, you lope him, right? The longer you lope, the quieter the horse...

Suggested Article: "Backing Up"
The horse that balks rather than moving backward isn't giving to (rein) pressure; you're pulling and so is he. And, because he has no experience backing (smoothly, at least), when you pull he doesn't know to "assume the backing position." (It's...
