One main distinction between the early rides on a horse, and the extra completed rides on a horse, is the way in which the cues are utilized in aggregate. On this podcast, I describe cues as ‘doorways’.
The wonderful thing about staring at a sophisticated horse and rider is that the cues appear so refined that they’re continuously onerous to look.
That is true whether or not you watch dressage, the place the rider maintains a degree of touch right through, or in reining, the place the touch at the reins seems very gentle.
What those percentage in not unusual is a subtleness.
The method of coaching a horse comes to making issues transparent, and then refining the ones cues.
In case your horse turns out perplexed, hesitant, or resistant, it’s conceivable he isn’t transparent on which ‘door’ is open. Nowadays, I give an explanation for why this may well be going down and the way you’ll decide the next step.
