I am the first to admit that I’m quite resistant to most
“step by step” methods of training. I
find that although what/how you ask something of your horse may “seem initially
clear” with a one, two, three type of instruction, due to the focus of the end
goal, it also limits a person’s perspective in seeing what is ACTUALLY
happening in what I call “real-time.” Often
the horse doesn’t act/react as shown or explained in the article or TV show,
and the person is at a loss as to what to do next with their horse. If there is a lack of understanding as to the
how whats and whys someone is doing something with their horse, it leaves a
lot of room for miscommunication.
