"Your horse does that for one or both of two reasons: He's doing it because it's a bad habit he's learned and or because it's all part of his "flight or fight" programming. Nature has programmed him to head for the hills the instant he feels danger. Containing a horse's head is is a pretty clear sign to the untrained horse that something's amiss, so he struggles. And we react by fighting to keep him contained. And his flight turns into our fight.
Where to begin? Every time you touch those reins it just seems to escalate...
The simple tip that follows opens a back door, a way to sneak in and begin training the horse without him realizing that you've gotten one over on him.

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 "
