Does your horse sometimes feel as though stopping is optional?
I’m looking for a small group of riders to help me test a new training programme I’ve been developing around one very specific problem:
Getting a horse to stop reliably — without the rider having to rely on strong rein pressure.
I’m looking for around 5–10 testers with horses who may be keen, nervous, strong, distracted or simply rather unresponsive when asked to stop.
You’ll need to be able to spend around 30 minutes with your horse on most days over the next 10–14 days, and I’ll ask you to tell me what happens as you work through the exercises.
This is genuine testing, so I’m particularly interested in what works, what doesn’t, what is confusing and what changes you notice in your horse.
