Reading Your Horse
from Be Your Best Horsemanship · host Phil Haugen
In this episode, I'm addressing a question from one of our listeners, Abby: "I have a 2 year old who is ready to start under saddle, but I can not get her to canter. The more I push, the slower she gets. She will canter with another horse in the round pen. I have not had this problem before and I am not sure what to do? I don’t think she will canter under saddle if she refuses on the ground. Would you have any guidance for me? I really appreciate it." Join me as I share some advice for Abby in this situation and explain the importance of reading your horse and getting them to respect and respond to your cues.
