Being a horse trainer, theres one big secret you must know to train a horse.
Ever grabbed a potato fresh outta the microwave and suddenly dropped it because...
Your Hand Was On Fire!
` Believe it or not, theres a horse training lesson we can use when thinking about the hot potato.
Heres what it is.
When we teach our horses to give to the pull of the reins, we want them to give so easily that you feel nearly no resistance as you pull the reins.
You wanna get to the point where as you pull the rein, it suggests to the horse to follow the pull.
There is no resistance.
How do you get to that point?
Thats the secret of the hot potato.
When youre first teaching horse lateral flexion, begin with a very slight pull.
Then wait.
For how long?
Until you see him give to the pressure.
Look for the slightest give...even an eighth of an inch.
Pet, rub, and say "Good boy!"
Then repeat.
Try for the same.
After you get it a few times, ask for a little more.
Eventually, your goal is to have his head follow that rein pull with virtually no resistance.
Remember to do both sides of the horse.
The secret of the hot potato, in this instance, is this.
When he gives to your pulling of the rein, you give back...immeditately.
Drop that rein pressure like you would a hot potato fresh outta the microwave!
If youve ever rode a horse that was resistant to giving his head its likely because he doesnt know theres relief.
Hes been pulled on and pulled on. And he braces himself for the pull because he doesnt know relief is awaiting him.
Can ya blame him?
Think of it like this.
If you ever had a massage therapist work on a sore muscle and they kept at it and at it and at it...you kinda brace yourself.
Its painful, it hurts, you want it to stop.
You resist.
How do you retrain a resistant horse like that?
Same way I just described.
Youd be surprised how fast they catch on.
But you gotta remember they wont learn it in five minutes.
Itll take patience.
