"...I work horses so they understand what people are asking of them..."
I also work with people, so they know how to ask.

 

 

Each horse is as unique as we are and we have to adapt to the horse, he does not have to adapt to us, and in many cases he can't, as he has no idea what we want from him. What he does on the ground he will do in the saddle.

 

 

A horse has to learn to yield and to be able to follow directions from you by knowing what you are asking of him. Groundwork is the foundation for this.

There is no reason to make it happen, LET it happen, why try and force and create 1000 lbs of conflict. Introduce a situation to a horse and let him find the way to resolve it, with your help. If he has a lot of trouble, adapt and introduce a new way.
