How to Manage Speed with Strong, Chargey Horses
from Be Your Best Horsemanship · host Phil Haugen
Speed is a complex response, acting as both a horse's natural self-defense response and a desired attribute in performance events. The delicate balance between controlling speed and harnessing it can prove to be one of the most challenging parts of horsemanship, especially when you are dealing with a naturally strong, "chargey" horse. On this episode, I'm sharing some techniques for managing speed and maintaining communication with horses who have strong reactive tendencies.
