Compass Horse Training Tips

from Horseman’s Corner Radio · host Hale Broadcasting

Now here's legendary trainer, Vaughn Knudson. "If you've opened a circle or you're in a spin, working a cow doesn't matter if you turn the left, you put your hand out there, his eye goes first and then his head. And that's extremely important because all other bits, it's the right eye that goes first and then he turns his head to the left. The best way you can ever work a horse is to have left work left and right work right." "That's pretty amazing to know that when you learn to ride as a kid, they always tell you to look where you want to go. I'm pretty sure that if that works for us, it probably works for the horse too. So if his left eye doesn't go first, well then he's going to be delayed in his reaction." "Oh boy, you've said it all right there, Nelseena. Not only do we have a snaffle bit, but I also found the machine that cuts out chains and we designed different shanks to go on the side of it so you can either have a slow release or a faster release or a medium release. It doesn't matter, but we've also got this mouthpiece of chains. So if I'll go to the website Campus Horse Training, that's where they'll find everything."   That was compasshorsetraining.com or you can always visit horsemanscorner.com for more information about Vaughn Knudson.
