Zen Horse

Training Tip of the Week: By Clinton Anderson

Back up for a more responsive and attentive horse.

The better you can get a horse to back up, the more responsive he will be in everything else that you ask him to do. A respectful horse backs up with energy anytime you want. If you don’t back your horse up, he will get pushier and more disrespectful. I back my horses up all around the ranch – out of the stall, to the arena, to the pasture, out of the wash rack, etc. Use every minute you have to train your horse.

Who said going backwards was bad???

Happy "Backward Trails",

Happy St. Patricks Day, I am a bit of Irish meself.
