thank you for this! I am wrestling with this concept vs. a recent post of yours "If your horse needs to be bullied into work, it’s time to reevaluate. Resistance only trains resistance."
with a green horse not responding for the suggestion to transition into a trot or canter....she is now thinking about bucking instead....I am stuck between these two theories...and not wanting to encourage a new behavior of kicking out or bucking...
For sure! Thank you for your reply! I want to have a video lesson with you but have the vet coming next Tuesday first to evaluate the pain issue first. everything else seems good! She moves off my leg now nicely and is moving through the hind end better. I will contact you next week for the lesson post vet!
