How many ways can you use feel/pressure to get your horse to think about backing up? Does each method stimulate your horse to back up with the same quality?
I want my beginner horse to learn to have confidence and feel untroubled by following the pressure in contrast to going away from pressure or being sent somewhere in response to pressure.
A common complaint I hear from owners is that their horse is heavy on the reins, doesn’t respond to the rider’s leg, drags on the lead rope, or ignores the crop. In other words, many people despair that their horse is dull to pressure.
