Sample Our Newsletter
"Hurry Up and Stop," from my FREE monthly newsletter
From the Horse Riding Tip Series:
"Have you ever trained your dog to sit? What did you say to your dog after you told it to sit? You probably told it to "stay." Why did you do that? If the dog sits, he has to stay. In the same respect, I don't have a "stop" on my horse. I only have a "go" and a "back". Now, I may only want the horse to stop but in his mind he should be thinking "back up." If I were to ride forward and then stop and then apply more pressure to the rein to back up, then I'm teaching three cues there. One "go," two "stop," three "back up." So in effect what I'd be doing is telling the horse "Four pounds of pressure on the rein means stop, six pounds means back up." So, if I really want to make my stops quicker, I only teach "go" and "back up." Now, for you reiners, I'm not talking about how to lengthen the slide I'm talking about getting a quicker, more responsive stop. I'm teaching the horse that when I say stop that means stop. My goal is to take away any hesitation time, with no pause between moving forward then moving backward. I work on

Trailer Training Horses
A Downloadable Book
A sample from Day 1:
"As a special bonus, I've included details on how to train your horse to trailer using a round pen, should you have access to one. It's a pretty cool method that'll have your horse actively looking to get in any open trailer it might happen across! You'll find that appended to the end of this document.
Ready? Go get your horse and a dressage whip (or a suitable facsimile). If you have a horse that loses it when he even senses a nearby trailer, start a mile away. Our goal here is for the horse to move forward and backward lightly and on our cue. Our cue will be our body language. As in all training, we begin with "big movements" and, as the horse begins to learn or anticipate, we can refine those movements until they're practically reading our minds. Outfit your horse with a halter and suitable lead rope. If you begin this work and your horse is just blowing past you or pulling your arms out of their sockets, put a bit and bridle on the horse, clipping your lead rope to the bit ring. You'll find the bit will give you more control and aid you in delivering your message. Just as when riding, your horse will "only want you out of his mouth" so be sure to always release your pressure when the horse softens and "gives" to your pressure."
