Dear Sam: Horse Help * The Resistant Horse by the Remote Horse Coach
Re-Introducing the Halter to the Fearful and Defensive Horse
The Young Horse: Dramatic, Reactive, Dangerous Behavior
The MisUnderStood Horse
This is a two-year-old Andalusian who I just started working with recently. He reflects so many horses that I meet that are often deemed "bad, aggressive, stubborn, resistant," and all these other human-based emotional judgments, which have nothing to do with what the horse is experiencing or why his behavior is as it is.

Horsemanship: Misconceptions of the Circle by the Remote Horse Coach
One of the most misused "techniques" I have found is how people present asking the horse to move around a circle.
Whether it is for lunging, groundwork, riding one, or otherwise, rarely have I witnessed horses thinking and traveling around a circle in an intentional, soft manner.
Often there is a degree of "driving" energy from the human, along with containment via the lead rope, lunge line, reins, the rider's outside leg, etc.
Horse Rider Mindset Hints by Alternative Horsemanship
The Story...
What ifs...
Yeah, but I want to...
In peeling back the layers of why things fall apart, there is an imbalance of blaming the horse versus human self-observation and awareness.
Rarely is it popular to discuss how much the human mind and emotions can delegate how the horse interaction occurs.
