sided by<br />
ack softly<br />
from the halter so the horse<br />
learns to give to pressure and<br />
move away from it so when<br />
under saddle your horse will<br />
back up rather then fight the<br />
bit pressure. Be consistent<br />
with your voice aids on the<br />
ground. Eg. Teach your horse<br />
to stop on ‘whoa’ on the ground<br />
and he will stop on ‘whoa’<br />
under saddle. From the ground<br />
you can teach your horse to<br />
respond to lateral cues by<br />
placing your hand where your<br />
leg would be. Our aim should<br />
be always to be thinking about how we can better prepare our horses for under saddle work.<br />
I believe proper training is crucial and nothing should be skipped. You build a horses future from the ground<br />
up. Educating a horse is like building a house, the house can only be as strong as the foundation on which it is<br />
built. Be smart, If you are having trouble with a horse get help and don’t be afraid to get down. It is ok to work<br />
through problems on the ground, it is in your best interests to stay safe.<br />
Best wishes,<br />
