Re: [RC] rein pressure and spooking - Nancy Sturm

What he was doing is giving the horse something to do, other than spook. For an insecure horse or one that spooks or you haven't yet developed the trust/experience bond with, riding WITHOUT contact on a loose rein and holding on to the horn is the worst thing you can do. You are basically giving the insecure horse permission to spook or buck or run-off or all those things that riders say their horses only do during certain times (my horse only acts that way WHEN ...)... What that really means is the horse isn't thoroughly broke and isn't ridden correctly.


Donna -


Excellent job of explaining!
