I am very pleased to see that nowadays more people are teaching the importance of taking their horse’s opinion into account during the training process.
A horse is a brain on four legs. A horse is not a body with four legs. If you want a horse to do anything you should have a conversation with the brain.
As I said at the start, the distinction between using pressure to get a horse to do something and getting it to let go of doing something is subtle. I don’t know some people who understand this and fewer people who teach it.
