Re: [RC] OK: suggestions sought on rearing/brattiness (long) - powergait

I forgot to add that I did a lot of praising for even just one step forward.
I think the horse appreciated a way out that he could manage...a few steps
at a time.  I think taking the pressure off their minds is important.

I had a young horse that was having the same temper tantrums.  He was even
rearing and spinning.  I rode him into a corner of the yard where he
always
threw his tantrum.  This horse knew what the "go forward" cues meant.  He
stopped and started backing, threatening to rear.  I got the "whacker" and
lightly smacked him one time on the rear, making sure I had NO pressure on
the bit.  I didn't care which direction he moved as long as it wasn't
backwards.  It took two light smacks to get him to move forward.  After
about three times of that, the horse quit refusing to move forward.
