In "When Your Horse Rears: How to Stop It" we'll train your horse to accept pressures typically associated with stopping and backing and the like. We'll learn the theory and practice allowing us to soften and relax our horse, giving us greater control over his mind and various body parts. We'll teach respect for the bit while building smooth transitions from standing to walk to trot to lope.
In the end, you'll be able to make ordinary requests, (to "stop" or "back," for instance), without fear that your very pressure is an overt invitation to rear up. In fact, once you've put the time in, you'll be amazed at the difference made in your overall control, safety and enjoyment.
With this guide, you will teach your horse to:
- Keep his feet on the ground!
- Deal (well) with increased pressure
- Pick up the correct leads
- Move his hips independently
- Drop his head immediately
- Greatly improve your ground control
- Get your horse amazingly soft on the bit
- Greatly improve your brakes
- Follow easy, step-by-step exercises for lasting changes
- Cure a nightmare situation that could put you in the E.R.!
