Re: [RC] Horse training question... - Nancy Sturm

. Anyways, a friend suggested I "pop" him with a rein as soon as he gets heavy, but I'm spending way too much time jerking on the reins, and the whole ordeal makes me uncomfortable.

Sometimes a youngster will become heavy on the forehand because he isn't using his rear effectively. It's hard to know for sure how far along your horse is in his training, but usually they will come off the forehand if you drive them forward and get them to engage the hindquarters.
