Thank you Nancy!

Horses will pick the path of least resistance. Offer choices to your horse that are simple: “if you pick to do something, then I will help you do more of it!” Black and white choices are best and understandable to the horse.
If we control our emotions, the horse will see that it is he who is deciding the consequences and he will not blame you.
He can only blame himself for making the ‘wrong’ decision!
Now you are ready to go on that big Trail Ride since you have worked on reinforcing who is your horse's leader. When a horse buys into your leadership and shows you his trust and respect, you have a better chance of avoiding the bucking rodeo and getting an any-season Spring Break!
