horse training?
ok i ride this horse western-- i usually ride english but i dont own a horse right now and my neighbor has 2 western horses that i help her ride... ok well we are trying to train these 2 horses to back up and do all that western obedience stuff... like the pat parelli stuff... the horse she rides is very good but the one i ride just doesnt seem to get the concept of backing up... i do everything correctly-- i tease his mouth by kinda jiggling the bit and when he does take a step i praise him... also, my neighbor does not like her horses to be punished or treated with any meanness so i cant really punish him for not obeying me... it takes this horse like 15 minutes to back up about 5 feet... its completely rediculous and its not a matter of time because ive been doing this for weeks... theh horse does everything else perdectly (eg side-stepping, even backing up when im not on him) but he doesnt back up when im riding... anyone know any totally humane techniques??? this horse is driving me insane! thanx! i rate high <3
