"Horse Riding Tips," from my FREE monthly newsletter
From the How to Train a Horse Series:
"Horses require motivation during training – it's what keeps them trying to find the right answer. Maybe you're trying to teach the horse to move his shoulder. You pick up a rein, the pressure on the horse's mouth causes him to search for the release. He soon learns to move his shoulder over to get a release.) Something important to keep in mind is this: While some horses require a lot of motivation (read: pressure in your hand or legs), others may require very, very little. Assuming that all horses require a lot of motivation is asking for trouble. You've got to experiment to find out which horse you've got at the moment you're riding. "Over-motivating" an uppity horse will put too much energy into your horse; you'll have less control and he'll actually be less responsive. So, bottom line: How much motivation you apply depends upon the horse and it may take more – or less – than you first imagine. Experiment to find out what gets the best results."

Stop Bucking Study Course
A Downloadable Book
A sample from Day 5:
"It should be noted that you can also get a horse over his fear of loping and “get him to used to it” by simply powering through to the lope and keeping the horse there, loping till your horse naturally calms down and finds a rhythm. However, horses pushed up like this can be fairly rough to ride for awhile and, since you’re reading this, I figured you might prefer the easier route I’ve been describing of easing the horse up, then shutting it back down repeatedly.
Like the horse who hasn’t been taught how to “shut it down,” the horse who acts a fool only in the arena or walking a steep trail also needs speed control. Why? Because these horses have little inner demons that only seem to pop out at inopportune times. It initially seems as if we have two choices: Work with the horse in a situation when he’s calm and there’s “nothing to fix” (the home stable) or when he’s freaked (the side of a cliff as his buddies move away). One choice gives us little to work with, the other is just plain unsafe."
