RE: [RC] [RC] calm down paste - Ed Kilpatrick - LaBrake, Denise A
Yep, I learned
that too recently. I used it often and it works. They call it "turn off your
horse". You teach them to lower their head below
their withers.
Never fails and you hear them sigh! I love it. It's like you are telling them to
"knock off the bull and get to work" and my mare listens
pretty good
after, it may take a couple times. Since I've been doing this stuff, I noticed
her ear on my more. Especially on the trail when I'm all cozy and I'm
forgetting
to pay attention
because she is being so good. I always noticed her ear on my a
lot.

>We re-adjust and move forward and it's worked<
I've found that if mare is starting to take over the decisions
during a ride if I just stop, get off and shut her down until her
focus is back with me I have fewer problems. I guess this is a
type of re-adjustment. We have been a team for a number of years
now, but sometimes she still wants to get head strong and racy.
There have been days though.......when I wanted to pull the gun
out. :-)
